Ignoring the twaddle. He has a contract with a Polish club, to which you confirm pay him millions. Therefore assume he does as they say.

Yes or no wouldn't create much of a forum. Understand your point but debating why we think yes or no is as far as it need go. Unfortunately we usually end up in the same place. PS - Yes

Doesn't matter who proposed the suggestion. My point was, for someone so vocal towards others charitable contributions yet only offer a token gesture for a UK Speedway pass, comes across as a tad hypocritical.

Don't recall I have ever said I know more about Speedway riders Pay in Poland - only stating multi millionaire is news to me. I do read of riders often not being paid. I was responding to 'your' quote advising you would donate £50 for a free pass, well done. Recommend you 'read your own posts", might help you 'get your facts right'.

Very big difference between revenue and profit. Assume that power doesn't come cheap. Speedway multi millionaire does sound a tad exaggerated. Nice of you to offer a token gesture for a UK Speedway pass, very admiral. Maybe you should take your own advice and do a bit more, at least offer Ben the going rate. Given? Contributed to years of pay days and buckets.

'Multi Millionaire'!!! You sure??? GOSH not British enough for you? What is your contribution to British Speedway, other than demanding free entry? Hope to hear you are contributing, raising funds, as a former rider.

Understand we like to look after our own - but surely the +100k he has raised for sick children confirms his dedication to a chosen charity and deserves the utmost credit. You appear to keep ignoring that fact!

Why? It's very easy to understand. We nearly completed a page of positive debating.

If his bike is sick I guess he is out of the race. Surely pushing a dead / poorly bike to the edge of the green is quite different to riding on it.

The usual suspects responses highlight their lack of ability to debate, so won't waste much time on it. Banging the same drum despite numerous factual responses - 'assuming' Tai chose Britain for an easy GP route, Crump comparison is completely different situation, Tai's fault British Speedway is in a mess and therefore makes a better living elsewhere, raising over 100k for a 'British' children's hospital counts for nothing. What a traitor... 'You're'! That lacks credibility.

You do appear to have a personal vendetta. Not Tai's decision to relocate to Oz after being born in Blighty. Surely it's understandable he has a connection with Australia, the country he was brought up. He had the choice but decided his allegiance was with nationality of birth and parentage - respect, accept and understand that decision. Yes, maybe he has an accent and is a tad cock sure but hey!!! He's 2 times British World Champion. We don't have much success to shout about these days. Embrace it!!!

Same as yours, I assume.

My assumptions added to yours in brackets. Seriously, this situation highlights how out of control we are. Strange thing to me is in my opinion I'm not convinced it strengthens Panthers that much - short term.

That's just about finished me and probably Peterborough Speedway. No longer feel I want to follow a sport that is run by complete and utter incompetent / biased members. All in the best interests of the sport. Take a bow BSPA.

It wasn't his decision. Ford builds the team and makes the changes, from what I have read.

It was your post that stated only Poole & BV had maintained attendances. BurntFaceMan's response says it all - the 'Diluting' comparisons make it simple to understand. Seriously, what exactly do you want Poole to do, follow the unsucceful clubs and risk closure? Do you really believe that will improve things?

So you are actually agreeing with me. Poole and BV have maintained or increased attendances the way they do business. Yet you think they should follow those less succesful to save the sport? Think it should be the other way round - then we might actually get somewhere.

Really don't understand the negativity towads Poole's succesful business model. Think jealousy is creeping in, I'm very jealous of their success. Sure we would all feel great if it were our clubs status. It's up to the others to up their game not for to Poole dumb down. For the predicted response. Yes within the rules ;o)

Agree. First point and most important, they both walked away from an awful looking collision. In my opinion PK's view of Dudek's retirement was hindered by KK & NKI as they crossed between 4th and 1st bend. Therefore naturally went for the outside, just as Dudek shut off and drifted wide. Unfortunate incident but to me Dudek's EF caused the stoppage.

And Scunthorpe

There are not more riders than fans and MOST matches do finish. If you are just going to make things up that's not an opinion. As you often refer.

You are either on a wind up or have been in a coma for several years.

Not everyone, only the usual suspects. Well deserved award - especially as not from these parts... http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.30026

Thanks! That's very helpful Jack.

Does that help?
