Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?

I don't do booing and I don't get the booing against Nicki Pedersen the most entertaining speedway rider for many years. -

How can they stop you printing a blank race sheet ? -

So you want them to follow tai out of British speedway too. -

Like Orion rightly said take a look on here, tai is like the marmite kid. -

i don't think tai has done himself any favours this year and he will face criticism. -

Did he ride in it as 2x world champion? Yes I knew that but he would put more bums on seats now he is double world champion and raise more money for these guys who don't get the Darcy support. -

He wasn't disappointed about missing the British Ben fund charity meeting for British riders in a wheelchair but he is about missing a walk for a rider sadly injured who could afford to buy a house on the Gold Coast and then admitted he made a lot of money before his bad injury. Why is Steve Brandon doing a charity walk to the British GP for an Aussie instead of walking to the British GP for British riders in wheelchairs ? I don't think British fans should support it. -

Without fans you have nothing and even though he is clearly not a popular British world champion he should try and listen to fans views. I honestly think he is badly advised off track and too many yes people around him. -

when I see tai next I will speak to him and make views to his face in a respectful way. -

No I spoke highly of that before so it wasn't ignored but in his position he could do something big for the Ben fund, the guy is a multi millionaire, 2x world champion and says he is British so its time he did something worthwhile for the British Ben Fun and help the wheelchair bound riders here. -

It was good for the kid and a bit of PR for tai, shame he can't do something for the Ben fund. -

Berwick promotion Well Done for looking after those who wore your colours, Total respect. Be interesting to see which teams follow them. -

robert72 replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
90% of British riders got either into debt racing or living with injuries and most no longer attend matches so giving them a pass is not a glorified bonus but some respect for being part of the history of British speedway. -

As suggested I would happily pay £50 for a season ticket for all tracks going to the Ben fund that get in completely free. However there is a word RESPECT and any rider who has raced for teams deserves that respect many feel by allowing them to see speedway for free. And you really believe riders do it for the fans ? Look at tai and then make your decision -

Your post is even more hilarious as it's clear you cannot read what's been said by your reply, so funny -

You smiled and said hello to me before in passing, I thought there's that dog woman hehe -

robert72 replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
That rules Leigh Adams out then, However it's ok for those who have made millions from the sport to come in for free but those who have paid thousands and made nothing have to pay. I think a £50 season ticket to all tracks for riders who have rode over a 3 year period and the money going to the Ben fund would be a worthwhile idea. -

robert72 replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I just think it's respect of those who raced. There are far more good reasons for giving out life time season tickets to ex riders than not, the huge PR benefit it brings for speedway. Like I said football teams are proud they look after ex players why not speedway ? -

robert72 replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
nice insult towards me that sums you up. Tai, turned his back on British speedway/British final we should turn our back on tai. Darcy I feel sad he was seriously injured but continuelly collecting for a rider who can afford to buy a nice home on the Gold Coast is wrong when many British wheelchair riders struggle. You are clueless on what's right for British speedway moving forward. Like I said All clubs should allow ex riders in for free like they do ex footballers. Does Newcastle allow ex riders in for free ? -

Have you ever rode a speedway bike competitively ? how can you say I only rode a handful of times ? So funny Several promoters I chat too agree with me so yes they are happy I attend, I think your lacking inside knowledge and understanding of what's wrong deep inside the sport. I am pleased Berwick promoters have done that at the club and hope the rest follow. Tnc what an excellent post, your right football clubs look after ex players, only a few speedway clubs look after ex riders, things need to change for the respect of riders who raced for teams at any level. -

The foul and abusive attacks I get from Gavan and I too wonder why he is not banned. It's very clear he has a problem dealing with people who don't see it his way and then attacks them. -

He probably was too tired to think about the fact that had he bothered to race in it and win it for the fourth time in a row he would equal the record held by briggo. -

Well done Danny King on a superb win, well deserved. Would the British world champion had beating King in the best of British meeting last night ?
