Leicester V Swindon 4/6/16

Did Doyle get fined for his reactions to the crowd ? -
Yes it's inexcusable towards officials if that was the case but so is a lot of other things that happen in speedway but not heard anyone get a £9000 fine and banned. Anyhow how can they stop him going where he wants to in his own property?
-
I agree with what your saying,however the £9000 fine seems really excessive for speaking your mind about your business interests. I hope DH puts his statement out now, the fear he may have is getting a further fine for speaking out against the fine.
-
Dave Darcy was very vocal the other week on the microphone about the way the sport is run, hope he doesn't get a fine as I thought he was spot on. I think the scb/bspa are also loose canons, they are now putting a club at risk of going out of business.
-
Let's hope DH will put his side of what happened out today.
-
I wonder if DH will now put his side of events out now.
-
Stunned at how big the fine is but don't think he will pay it anyway.

You have a short memory of when the bees were rock bottom in August then won the league, 2 decent signings and lions will be winning the matches they are losing by a few points.

Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?
robert72 replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Lily savage won't give up the rode once bit. Times have changed over the last 12 years, demands are greater from riders,some riders even when there was a strict pay scale were getting more, you have image rights,appearance money,also start money and that is not the same for every rider. The demands from riders even at premier and national league are amazing. I heard that a 16 year old kid wanted 2k just to sign a contract recently that's without also wanting a hire/sponsored van. The promoter didn't sign him. Tai is a British world champion and the British final needed him more than he needed the British final so he could demand his own contract to race in it. However tai didn't want to ride in it. -
Hardly anyone stays at Leicester for the second half as after the match they have chats with a rider and then a long chat with the manager, then people leave, it's a real shame,they should have the kids 6 heats first then the chit chat.

What's your real name as I would love to know plus what you have achieved in life so I can congratulate you, maybe you should put your real name up now instead of Dazzafl Whatever the reason it's not right that tai is not riding in the British final. -
I wouldn't rule Leicester out just yet

There is no better feeling than riding a speedway bike and winning a race at any level, it's the pain when you come off that is not good. Yes there are some good kids coming through now. It's when you stand in the middle you see the real speed and it's scary -

You were quick to criticize me racing but you have never done it so how can you gob off, also to answer your question yes I went to the funeral of one of my old sponsors it's called respect. What other riders did you lean over the hackney wall and become family friends with ? Just wondered if I also raced against them too. You sound like a speedway groupie hanging over pit walls at tracks with a love of lily savage and you call me sad, my sides are really hurting now with laughter. So where were we oh yes tai couldn't care less about British fans and is Not riding in the British final -

robert72 replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
You can wrongly comment on my riding ability but you fail to comment on your own riding ability so does that mean you never raced but you feel you can criticise people who have done it,. You keep saying that you were a family friend of mark loram, please stop saying that as my sides hurt. You really do believe every rider is on the same money and you think tai would take home the same pay Cheque for say 10pts as another rider scoring the same. .you are clearly stupid -

Evidence is my experience and involvement in speedway for 30 years. Do you really think richard hall & tai would get the same money ? Plus the same add ons. -

Clearly you don't know certain rider demands, of course he would get more than others, asking for proof shows how stupid you are and that you no nowt. -

robert72 replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Tai would of had a lot more money than the others had he wanted to do it but I guess it still wasn't enough or he would of done it, No loyalty to the British fans. Clearly you don't know anything about riders contracts and demands. Poland riding Thursday's,Friday's & Sunday's yet riders want the Uk to be one day a week, thankfully that will never happen. -

He has a nagging injury that needs rest,so he misses one tournament it's not for the national title. So How you can compare Andy to tai or tennis to speedway it's just laughable. -

robert72 replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
So what your saying is the contract for the British final wasn't big enough for him so why should he bother doing it as riding in the polish league is more money and is far more important than riding in the British final in front of British fans. I once thought speedway was classed as tough dirt track racing for the brave, not a sport run on billiard tables for pampered riders. -

There you go tai is good commercial and puts bums on seats so what loss is his snub of the British Final ? Nothing has happened so far about training schools, it's been all talk. It's ok wanting future British stars coming through but what type of example does tai set snubbing the national title ? -

robert72 replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I respect your non abusive point, my point on the World Cup is on talent yes we need him but for what's right for the future of British speedway we need to make a stand on a rider picking if and when he wants to ride. Tai missing the British final is a massive embarrassment to British speedway, yes he should of had a wild card but he made it clear he didn't want to race in it so that is showing to the future kids that they to can pick when they ride in Britian and snub the national title and its ok as if they are good enough they can still ride in the World Cup. Tai Not riding in the British final is a massive loss financially & the much needed media interest is lost but also the British fans lose out.
