Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?
robert72 replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
So What example is tai setting to the young lions about his commitment to the sport in his country, don't worry about the British final kids as if you get good then you can ride in any meeting You choose so sod British speedway and the British fans who would be expecting you to ride in the British final as they can do one as You do what You want to do and you will always be picked for the national team don't worry about that. He is the current world champion and knows his inclusion in the British final would be huge in the media and for ticket sales, tai refusing to ride is damaging British speedway, so Do you reward him with being captain and number 1 or Drop him and get behind the other Brits who are committed to British speedway. -

PL is in my view the best league in British speedway -

But a British World Champion Not wanting to take part in the British Final is an insult to British Speedway,the fans & the country, it also loses British speedway money and much needed media attention plus the negativity it will bring for the final don't you understand that? British speedway should of said to tai you ride in the British final or if you don't then you won't be selected for team GB -

Are you for real ? Listen you Have to have a U21 at reserve who can only take a ride if a team member can no longer carry on due to injury or illness. You mentioned Steve worrall be interesting who would you leave out for him ? My team was Bomber Cook Nicholls King Lambert Changed it as I felt lambert is stronger than King and Couldn't put King at reserve as he is Not u21 Bomber Cook Nicholls/Garrity Lambert Bates I would also replace rosco with middlo -

Thank you that is exactly right, if tai was left out I would move lambert into the team with bates at reserve as u21 , however bwitcher will twist everything I say so it's nothing new. He also misses the point I am making and it's not anti tai but very disappointed with tai that he rides when he wants to and that is not a good example for the young lions to follow. -

If you are going to quote what I said do it correctly and don't make it up as you keep doing in a pathetic way. I picked the team I felt should be used, if you know the rules then you would know a reserve Has to be u21 and that's why bates was chosen in my team. So if tai decided he was too tired to ride in the World Cup then we should pull team gb out as we have no chance ? Like I said when you can't be bothered with riding in the British final then you shouldn't be allowed to ride in the British team. -
Leicester V Swindon 4/6/16
robert72 replied to stevethelion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
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.

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 -
