No business of yours and utterly irrelevant either way. Disgusting post. If you had any sense of shame or honour you'd remove it. Not that I'm holding my breath.

If by 'Rob' you mean Tai's late father, then you should be ashamed. By what right do you arrogate the ability to know what he might think about anything? What a disgustingly snide, putrid post that was.

I've most frequently heard the phrase "gating tart" said in jest when one of your own side's riders has surprisingly made one of his half-dozen decent starts of the season and clung on to win a race!

To be fair I frequently rise to the lure on certain other threads.

Every once in a while the trout could give the fly a miss, Steve!

I wasn't at the meeting, but caught some of it on the TV. Without prejudice, as the lawyers say, I found this tweet from Tai Woffinden interesting: "See the boys bouncing down the straight in heat 2 at lake side and people wonder why i don't ride in uk"

This could just be me, but perhaps a little irony is involved?

I suspect not. Lakeside are very, very good at home -- think that's seven wins now and no-one has got closer to them than 10 points. Caught a fair bit of the action on the TV and looked a really good meeting. Arena-Essex can be a much maligned track at times; would be interested to know what regular Hammers fans think of the quality of racing this year. I suspect these two aspects may not be unrelated!

It's not easy to assess an answer which so comprehensively fails to address the question. My inference, and feel free to correct it if inaccurate, is that you feel Woffinden should be forced to sign an Elite League contract with a club. You might run into one or two slight legal difficulties there, given the rule of law and the abolition of slavery. My sympathies with you concerning your recent memory loss; it does, however, shed a light on the quality of your posts.

Out of interest, could you elaborate on this a touch? Are you suggesting some attempt should be made to stop him earning in Sweden and Poland? Or that he be forced to ride in the Elite League? You are aware of the meaning of recall, to officially order someone to return to a place?

Yep, Tai should be recalled instantly and made to fulfil the terms of his club contracts with, erm, well, with, ah, Wroclaw and Vetlanda actually.

You do understand how a forum works, don't you?

Kept it quite low at Poole to ensure back to back titles with the next season's champions! No, 12. It was the pivotal point that stymied the Robins revival. I rather suspect that, as a Swindon fan, 14 has stuck in your memory because that was when Wolves clinched it mathematically and consequently you've aligned it with the Skornicki double-point win. Congratulations to Starman for climbing all over a post which said "I think" rather than making an assertion of fact, for awarding himself a self-congratulatory smiley and then having to edit a post which said "Can't get anything right, can you...". He must be very proud.

Interesting sidelight that, thanks!

You're better educated, then?

For double points, yes. His mechanic told me afterwards that when Peter Adams walked towards him with the black and white helmet colour, he (the mechanic) was absolutely bricking it while he (Skornicki) was absolutely sanguine.

I think your fair may be slipping over into generous! Skornicki 2005 Arena Essex 5.96 - what we might regard as a fairly typical Sqora season. 2006 Oxford 5.94 - see above. 2007 Belle Vue 4.89 - nightmare year in a team that finished bottom of the table and with the league's only sub-7pt No.1 (Simon Stead, which is not a knock at him but just an indication of the Aces' struggles that year) 2008 Poole 5.56 - pretty much back to his old self 2009 Wolves 6.24 - the Peter Adams gold dust rubs off at his favourite home...!

Olsen tells the story here: http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/other-sport/speedway/2016/02/26/ole-olsen-i-nearly-quit-the-speedway-track/

You are, of course, able to justify this "as have most fans" assertion with some facts?

To take them in order, 1: It's not a fact. It's your opinion. 2: What's your point here? Riding in the British final is going to make him better known outside the UK? 3: Take it up with the parties concerned, not me.

No, he's available for the British World Cup team if selected. Two world titles? That's a lot of bad advice. Or to put it another way, disagreeing with you.

And the best way to "gain British sponsors to back speedway in this country" is to remove the country's best rider from the country's team riding the World Cup final in this country?

Kindly inform me how gently ridiculing your self-aggrandizing post No.70 equates to me missing the bigger picture.

robert72 will be on his trail in no time!

It's a matter of some amazement that your cogent analysis and incisive insights don't bring the nation's promoters flocking to your door. But life can be cruel like that.
