No they weren't but this thread is about Tai Woffinden not them.

Sticking to facts. Tai is British. He tweeted he rides for GB in the GPs (according to others has no choice) Tai refused to ride for Team GB Tai refused to ride for his national title. Tai now wants to ride for Britain in a two bit competition that happens to be on his home Polish track. Seems to me he is British when it suits him. Thats his choice but don't expect me to believe he is patriotic.

I really don't give a tinkers cuss what was said, I was merely trying to suggest something to help folk like semion and also benefit the club. Believe it or not I do still care about Lynn speedway I just don't like its present incarnation. I obviously don't know you as well as you think Trees, cos I did not think wind up....sorry.

Would have thought it would be a bit out of date by then If they put it online you would be able to find out and not be reliant on people who can stay until stupid o'clock and who are prepared to divulge such secret information

I will try and be constructive here. Would it be possible for the after meeting press conferences to be periscoped or if that might hit bar revenue (which I understand) film it and put it online the day or even 2 days later. There have been several comments from folk who cannot stay due to work ,early starts, kids etc. This would allow them to feel part of it.

Doesn't mean you have to like or accept it.

It has occured to me that a small side benefit is that Poland or whoever is promoting these World Games might now know something of how British speedway feels when riders are forced to miss British speedway because of their unilateral 3 teams rule. In the words of Citizen Smith.......Power to the BSPA

I read it as they asked if he was available which was a reasonable enquiry given his refusal to ride for Team GB.

He may well be talented astride a speedway bike but his diplomacy skills need a lot of work

Very eloquently put GRW. I felt the same and am grateful that I have those wonderful memories of defeats (and a very occasional win) up and down the land and the feeling of belonging. Sadly they are something this generation of fans can only dream of.

Because sticking with under performing riders is the norm for Lynn

Trust me I'm not laughing at anything the supporters club are trying to do Steve. I know how hard they work and offered my support from the very start altho I no longer class myself as a fan. They are up against it when it comes to social nights etc because of the rural catchment area, whereas Peterboro has a core of urban support.

mmmm now don't try telling me that was a management initiative Trees

In the days you are talking about there was a meeting every week on the same day of the week and at the same time. They could turn up on a Saturday night at 7.30 and know they would see a meeting. Even ten years ago you could turn up on a Wednesday at 7.45 and know you would see a meeting. So casual fans didn't need reminding that every 2 or 3 weeks they might get to see a meeting or there might be 2 in a week maybe the times we've moved to ain't that good !

Meanwhile with the lack of information "casual" fans will have made other plans

To be frank the Supporters Club are far more informative than the club.

How many of the crowd actually attend them tho. . Jonathan used to walk around the terraces most weeks and was always approachable even if folk didn't always like the answers. Waggy was always about after meetings. Cyril Crane and Maury Littlechild were always about. Fans appreciate one to one conversations far more than easily controlled after match press conferences, although I agree they are better than nothing, but kids with school next day probably miss out on them! No comeback on here....I'm pretty sure it was on the internet where I heard management refer to "keyboard warriors". There's nothing stopping any of the management replying to comments on here, even if they use an alias (members are pretty quick to work out who is who.

Trees I would never doubt your commitment to the club, I know from the KREST days how much work you put in then and must do now. However being so "close" to the club can have the tendency to cloud your judgement. Many people didn't share my opinions of Waggy but they didn't talk to him as much as me. You say management are approachable....not the issue. It's them that should be approaching the fans by way of better communication both in person and on social media. Their hearts might be in the right place but they have to show that not assume that the fans know it. This is especially so after the last few seasons of almost zero good PR (or any PR at times) and a now underperforming team. Fans should never be taken for granted and IMHO that's what's happening at present.

I can back that up HT, still waiting for the high winds to appear as well. There is no way Lynn can be defended over this, nor should they be. I hope you have found something to interest you during your unexpected free time in Lynn HT even if it's only a very chilly walk round the old historic part of the town.

Apparently it was to get a visa if other posters are to be believed.

I'm 2 miles from the track and there has been no rain here today, or yesterday. As for strong winds....balderdash and piffle, the branches of the trees are hardly moving and my washing was hanging lanky on the line this afternoon. Yes it's blooming cold and there would have been a very small crowd so why not tell the truth instead of inventing weather that isn't here. It's sadly becoming the norm now for Lynn to treat fans like morons.

So is his autobiography the "massive project" that's in the thread title? I see from Amazon it's launched on May 18th. If it is, it kinds of hits all the "want to help British speedway" comments on the head

Get Nicki P instead of Holder. Well I can dream.

Love the sentiment but isn't Dudek from the dark side ?

Spot the monster rider
