Guest Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Interestingly, BT Sport has an audience share of 0.2% according to wikipedia, compared to BBC's 100% That would mean that by audience share, Tai polled 3x as many votes as the BBC winner Andy Murray....WOW!!! It's amazing what you can do when you play with statistics. It is indeed - but not when the figures are ACTUAL nationwide interest shown rather than surmise. On your theory speedway is a sport with mass nationwide interest which, sadly, we know otherwise is the case. Reality and not conjecture is the key factor. The figures I produced are not juggling - just how the Poll results went. Edited December 25, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but you're still coming across as someone who is determined to undermine this in any way that you can. I'm not really sure what your motivation is here. So, the BBC SPOTY programme - which is nationally known competition - proved more popular than a vote for a minority personality on a minority channel. Well, of course it did. We all know that. I just don't see what you're trying to achieve with your posts other than try to knock the fact that Tai Woffinden won a vote on a TV show. Maybe I'm just missing your point. Or are you going to try and say that you're not making a point but merely bringing up facts without opinion? (No offence, but this is a speedway forum, so if you constantly try to say how rubbish speedway is to speedway supporters you must expect some opposition.)

All I posted was the comparative voting figures for both polls. I made no other comment. As I see it and you say "merely bringing up facts without opinion." You comment that I constantly say "how rubbish speedway is to speedway supporters'? Not so, take a look in some of the other forums. On some of them, believe it or not, where I have been thanked for being helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is what exactly you are on about! I sub-edited for newspapers for some 58 years but am pleased I never had to face a contribution from you. You seem to specialise in only giving half responses that just create confusion. At the moment you have deviated away from a comparison of voting figures on two Polls to matters that are not in anyway related to them. Just to remind you: two sportsman polls were recently held. The voting figures for each have been collated on here. This was done so those BSF people interested could possibly make comparisons in regard to the results and the popularity of the sports featured. The original Post of these final voting figures made no comment in favour of either Poll. Net result from your end: a seeming criticism of me because you are possibly seeing figures that cause you upset which are allied to your seeming viewpoint "always wear rose coloured spectacles when reading and writing about speedway."

I could just be like you of course, and miss the point every time, except the times when you try to stick a knife in the sport that gave you such a great living. You do yourself no favours by doing so. About 5 years ago you tried this with Parsloes, constantly slagging speedway but praising and mentioning Stock Car racing which seemed to be your new hobby horse at the time. You now return(without your stocks this time) and expect others to accept that you can constantly run things down without getting a response. At the end of the day, if speedway is not for you these days, then sod off back the stocks forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 At the moment you have deviated away from a comparison of voting figures on two Polls to matters that are not in anyway related to them. In the same way you deviated away from the original subject into a non-stop attempt to analyse figures that were irrelevant as the minority clue is in the title? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
