Far better chance than getting SPOTY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear_Bottom Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Tried this for Havvy some time ago but the form needs huge amounts of info not generally known to the general public. As a marketing and publicity exercise couldn't/shouldn't the BSPA do this every time we get a World Champion (it doesn't happen that often so shouldn't put them to too much inconvenience!) ???

Far better chance than getting SPOTY! You will get big odds on SPOTY. IMO.The English Rugby Team will probably STILL get that for FAILING such is the nature of the programme Edited October 16, 2015 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've filled in the form, but I've got to the bit where it asks for letters of support. If anyone would like to PM me and send a paragraph on why they think he should gain an honour I would be grateful. It also asks those who support the application to include for name, how you know him, how long you have admired him. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill94d Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Not after his display at the end of the Aussie GP. Cap on backwards and going to die of thirst before the end of the national anthem. Bit of growing up still to do to get to the Briggs/Mauger status yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackie Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 This weekend saw a true British World Champion crowned for the third time #44, and hopefully in 11 days time a young man from Wiltshire will pick up the gold in motorcycle grand prix racing, the first since Barry Sheen 38 years ago! Hamilton & especially Danny Kent (if he picks up those 2 points in Valencia) more deserving of honours imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseguy Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 You will get big odds on SPOTY. IMO.The English Rugby Team will probably STILL get that for FAILING such is the nature of the programme You can get odds of 200/1 with Ladbrokes that Tai will be S.P.O.T.Y bare in mind it is voted by the general public, the votes will probably be split between Ennis, Cook and Hamilton not sure how many people actually vote in these things but I remember a so called betting sting a few years ago when Ryan Giggs won it Now if every speedway fan in Britain voted a few times for Tai, and cover the cost of the phone bill by having a couple quid on Tai...........
