It was made official somewhere that sky offered tai a super deal to be the figure head of British speedway on sky & that didn't include any deals he would also get from the British club he raced for here. I am not sure of the Bspa deal

Sky apparently offered tai a mega deal to ride in Britain and to use him to profile British speedway but he turned it down so I guess sky didn't come up with plan B to promote the sport.

Tai dictates to British speedway when he wants to ride, no rider should be allowed to disrespect the British final & the British fans . Would the British final be more attractive to the media and the fans with tai racing in it yes or no ? If yes then he should be left out of team gb and that would give the sport as much good publicity leaving the British world champion out as it would with tai chasing the British title as world champion. Your point was is ? Make your mind up lol I am on about the British final catch up I agree that tai & bomber should of been seeded but tai didn't want to race in the British final as he has already won it 3 times that is my issue, what about the British fans & British speedway that suffers because he didn't want to try for a 4th title,that's why they need to get tough on tai

You start with saying I am banging on with a pathetic crusade then you are agreeing with me and adding that wolves fans would agree too, I am hurting with laughing. Classic post attack the poster but agree with what is said hehe

Are you one of them?

Passionate I don't think he is now but he is a monster brand agent who would like to be seen in an international meeting for his sponsors and the World Cup helps promote his sponsors. His only concern is his own personal glory not Britain

Who was in charge of the track ?

Lions fans will be hoping Poole will recall watt back now Full credit to belle vue as the. Track was the same for both riders. Thought cook made two good starts and was wrongly excluded. Scott looked like he had turned the clock back to his best days, it was a good meeting.

Simply Yes because as the current national champion and world champion he owes it to British speedway and the fans to compete to be British champion and he didn't want it, so why should he be allowed to just pick when he wants to ride and British speedway bow down to him . Dropping tai would be good for British speedway

It puts a message out to the up and coming stars aswell as a good PR message that if you don't compete for the British title you won't be selected for team GB even if you are the world champion. British speedway has become a joke, it needs to be seen to be in charge and moving in the right direction to gain respect and gain British sponsors to back speedway in this country, dropping the world champion who snubs the British final is the right move and would gain huge respect and a lot of much needed media coverage.

Take the World Cup away from tai after his snub of the National title would show future stars nobody is bigger than British speedway. Is team GB a one rider team ? No Do you think the media will be interested in the British final ? No but they may write a story saying the British world champion who Doesn't ride in Britain decided he was too tired to defend his British title even though he is based about only 50 miles from the national stadium. British Speedway would get more credibility in the media and with fans if they told tai he is dropped from team GB for refusing to defend the National title.

Totally agree but the clueless on here don't understand the impact it has in the whole of things. Tai should now be dropped from team GB for the sake of British Speedway.

I think I heard it was under the break even at the last match.

Your the sad one defending a British world champion who doesn't want to help a British fund for badly injured riders.

Shame it wasn't for the Ben Fund in march.

Spot on post

Life could be cruel again on the lions fans who could end up without a track again but I guess you don't see the bigger picture as you have the same flippant attitude as most promoters.

When you get a post liked by King troll stevebrum it's worrying for you. Just think if the Leicester promotion had listened to me 5 years ago they wouldn't be in the mess there are in now. Fact.

Tai lives an hour away from Manchester so travel isn't the issue which is an annoying.

Shame you didn't bother to come and support your team yesterday as you may of had a better view of this meeting and not by hearsay only.

You come across as the idiot and not very wired about about why the sport is in a mess.

So you repeat what I said to you the other day even though you don't have a good reason, Steve you need to do better as your posts are boring attacking my every post. If you don't like what I say press ignore I don't mind honestly

But He chose to sing the Australian anthem with passion but Not the British anthem ? Snubs the British Final and people still make excuses for him on here. As I said above he sung the Australian one.

why is it ridiculous when you pay £21 and a foreign rider is going the same speed as the teams mascots, time he packed his bags. I blame the management for bringing him to Leicester. So you think I am right as I have pinpointed the problem that has caused low crowds at Leicester. You really are the idiot

It may not be the best but it's our national anthem and we are stuck with it for now so it should be respected when representing Britain.
