Neither will Holder and Batch (who nobody outside of the sport has ever heard of).

If the claim that Poland will only allow riders to go in one other league next year comes to fruition, you wouldn't see any anyway. Under-performing and being disruptive gets you the sack, whatever you do.

It might be if it isn't filled with disruptive types.

I think he's done his bit and I'd hate to think of him risking paralysis if that's the verdict. He has much to offer and I'd like to see him still involved in some way. The GPs have certainly missed his character though.

Didn't he do that at Redcar until they sacked him? As he was doubling up he departed with "I'm moving up, see you lot in ten years or so when I'm on the way back down." Since then he's had more clubs than an Indian juggling troupe and there must be a reason for that.

Richard F Hall.

Maybe the deadline has been moved?

Well he says he has a few hours left, on Twitter.

Nothing to stop Tai offering to ride for the current set-up and to share his knowledge with his team mates, but he wants to be manager, captain, selector, number one and head coach, but only when it suits him. He should stop trying to undermine everything by bleating to the press and social media and get back in the TEAM.

Erm.... Keep your foot well clear of that gun barrel.

Nobody outside of the sport takes speedway seriously.

Most people wouldn't 'HAVE' signed him in the first place.

Oh! Who'd have guessed that?

No point, he's so far over the hill you'd need binoculars to see him.

If the rules are kicked out the window it would be another nail in the coffin, much like the farce over the fours (or is it fives?).

Meanwhile, dozens of GM and Jawa engines have wrecked themselves for various reasons and THEY don't carry a warranty. There will always be the chance of problems with racing engines but there hasn't always been the chance of getting one with a warranty. Doubtless the naysayers on here will cream their pants at any negative incident that is reported.

"Team" is the key word, maybe they aren't. Look what Rosco has done with a "team" that looked like a one man band at the start of the season.

So Ford tells the world his riders are rubbish and there's little chance of any of them getting a job there next year? It wouldn't be a surprise if they threw all their remaining matches after that.

I think I remember the 1988 World Pairs at Bradford had SIX riders per race, once you get more than four it starts to get difficult to take everything in. To be honest, I consider the fours to be a bit of a Mickey Mouse event and don't care how they have it or even if, each to their own though and it's obvious from earlier posts that all ten teams could have been included.

Harley's use them in place of the rear chain, these are used between the engine and clutch.

Well he's still getting nowhere (except one side of an ever widening gulf).

I don't think they're ALL "anti-Tai, I think some are more likely anti his attitude. If he doesn't want to ride in the SWC fair enough (although patriots like Harris would probably ride for nothing) but why does he have to continue to undermine the position of the manager? He has had a few outbursts on Twitter, including some very belittling remarks, which are usually removed by the following morning. He would be more respected and listened to if he got back on with the job and used his influence from within. He seems to love the fact that he has what he calls "haters" but I think his attitude has probably swelled their numbers from a handful to more (particularly when he boasts that he'll retire young with a big house and stacks of money and they'll have nothing).

There are a few about, Kyle Newman has one.

I thought they had picked Cook, Lambert and one other (Ellis?) a few weeks ago? Wasn't that followed by Woffinden posting a picture of himself and Lambert on Twitter, saying that would have been his choice? He doesn't seem to accept the the manager makes the choice.

Did anyone go to the Ellis Perks barbecue afterwards?
