So Darren have you text him about his views on the Ben fund, I think a lot of people would like to know why he doesn't support it but happy to support a wealthy Aussie riders fund.

I didn't say it as you have wrongly put it Mark Loram was and will always be a popular world champion and many will agree. You keep saying I and others dislike tai but avoid the reasons why which are very important to many people.

1) what I was saying about him being a disgrace for missing the British final is also the view of many British fans,so he is laughing at them too. 2) it was clear at the time why he chose the British path to further his career and look now he can't be bothered with British speedway or the British final plus the British Ben Fund, that's how much he loves Britain. 3) it is not a love of the sport but a business that maybe where he is going wrong.also how many kids have painted tai on their walls ? One Tai is an icon in a very small sport, but he is not a household name like Jessica Ennis-Hill, Paula Radcliffe,Andy Murray,Carl Froch,Tom Daley, to name a few from smaller sports. 4) Mark may of only Won one world title but the competition was tougher in 2000 when he won it than it was last year, the fact will always be that Mark loram will always be the most popular British world champion. Did you ask tai his thoughts on why he snubbed the Ben fund and if so did he laugh at that aswel as this is clearly Not important to him when in fact he is in prime spot as a British world champion to make a huge impact to a very worthwhile British speedway charity.

It really sums it up if he laughed that fans are upset about him missing the British final. I don't buy your facts about his true love of GB as he made that clear by missing the British Final. Maybe you should ask him why he is Not bothered about British riders in wheelchairs and the Ben fund ? Why has he got an Aussie flag and Not a British flag tattoo ? Tai is solely out for himself not for the love of Britain or the fans. He will never be as popular as mark loram however many titles he wins.

And it's also clear tai doesn't care about the British fans or the sport in this country. You really don't know me if you think I wouldn't say anything to tai when I see him. If you constantly dish things out in the manor Gavan did you expect it back,I did not mention any family member and it was directed solely at Gavan and how he got to meet mark loram. Nobody mentions the physical threats to me or my family funny that eh Let's hope bomber wins on Saturday he is the number 1 Brit in British speedway

I got a feeling this time he will sing it as he has come under pressure since he proudly sang the Aussie one.

Hehe I honestly don't think tai would say anything strong as he should understand he has let down the British fans by pulling out of the British final and would be stupid to fire abuse back at those angry he pulled out. However I bet the real racers who took part in the British final were angry with him too as they were robbed of racing a current British world champion and beating him, Will people look back and say king only won it as tai didn't ride. I am sure that would of crossed Danny King mind and Danny will be out to beat him when they meet on Saturday and I hope he does.

I agree with your first part and it became constant every time I posted or anyone he didn't agree with got verball abuse which was wrong. I was not mocking his family at all it was aimed at him knowing mark loram and how but that was simply a reaction to the vile abuse he gave to me and it was constant vile abuse on a daily basis that you thought was ok and until SS picked up on it nothing was mentioned by you or others about his language.

Sadly Gavan has been doing this to a number of posters for awhile and has really crossed the line for his foul language and threats. We all don't agree on everything posted but using foul language is wrong.

Sadly Steve it's the same with Gavan who is constantly abusive to those he doesn't agree with and turns nasty as you have seen. So if you walked down a street and saw someone attacked you wouldn't report it ?

So it was a good advertisement for British Speedway that the current British World Champion didn't want to ride in it you think ?

Dazzafl use to work in the pits in Plymouth awhile back, I seem to remember him, however not sure he understands what I am saying as he seems blinkered when it comes to tai. We don't know if he knows tai aswel as he makes out. I am sure there will be a number of people making a point to tai at both venues and would I say something to tai of course I would do as I think him snubbing the British final is a disgrace.

Where's your proof to what you say is true ?

I just don't get why anyone would want to take a dog into an enclosed speedway stadium but saying that I saw someone carrying a huge stuffed lion into Leicester speedway but that did make me smile.

For your info yes a regular DD to two animal charities and one is the dogs trust that's why I think it's cruel to take a dog to speedway I feel. Yes probally as I don't buy the fact he hasn't got any equipment here yet his engine tuner is in Britain and he lives here. Why is it pointless that Britain has a world champion that does so little for the sport in the country of his birth. Many on here think he is god and what he does is great for British speedway I see you couldn't make a sensible reply

His sponsors income should cover his bike and mechanics. Yes I have donated a number of times to the Ben fund and raised a lot for another charity. Tai needs to step up for the Ben fund as it's an insult to British riders injured seeing the British world champion doing nothing for them but happy to help a wealthier Aussie.

So why shouldn't tai give his cheque to the Ben fund as you made out he is very charitable ? He wanted to help raise money for darcy so why not for British riders in a wheelchair as he is British after all and shouldn't you help your own first? You keep making silly excuses for him it's laughable.

I have known a number of speedway riders who have visited fans who have been sick in hospital or had special birthdays non have taken a video camera with them. What he did for the lad was good, shame he doesn't do something for the British Ben Fund, maybe he should donate his cheque from the British GP to the Ben fund, that would be a credible thing to do and would give him good PR

No Ben Fund No British Final 2 very important meetings he couldn't be bothered to do.

But Nobody has seen him ride in Britain and he won the title last September so how does it benefit the fans or British speedway ? Training schools I will believe that when I see it As a British world champion he could do a lot more for British speedway in this country if Britain means so much to him.

What has tai done for British speedway or British fans this year ?

maybe he will announce it before the British GP

I call it an Opinion on a forum

Blimey is Darcy not allowed to be mentioned anymore ?

The closest you got to speedway was a family member paying a rider for friendship, that says it all your family buying friends. Would he be riding in the uk for team GB if it wasn't a monster sponsored event ? If he really remembered where he came from he would of done everything to ride in the British final for the British fans but he thinks he is way above that now and couldn't care less about British speedway or its future. Any details about the training schools ? All gone quiet The marmite kid who loves Britain so much has an Aussie tattoo and snubs British speedway fans, media will love that one. Tai is another Darcy Ward, very talented on a bike badly advised off it.
