Tai Woffinden

[screm]

It's so funny every other day someone says they are no longer replying to me but carry on, let's face it this forum would be dull without me.

 

 

 

ooooooh get you.

[stevebrum]

So if the British Elite League go to One night a week (won't happen) they will quit the Polish league ?

Nicki P has been Box Office for many years.

Why would they need to quit the Polish league?

No one has ever suggested they have to choose which league to ride in for this to happen.

The majority have already picked the Polish league over riding in the UK.

There has to be a compromise for the UK leagues to survive, and would save the EL getting any weaker than it already has.

Might happen is a better description.

I would like to thank everyone for pushing my tai thread over 100 pages, there was a bet that I couldn't get it over 100 pages but thanks to the I won't reply again to R72 brigade but did so helping the thread go over 100 pages and raised a good sum of money for a cancer charity

 

I wonder how many pages this thread will reach or if the other one will reach 120 pages I am sure any post I make the trolls with be out in force

 

Congratulations, care to tell us how much you raised.

Top Riders said they can't do different nights in the uk and it must be one set night so I guess now they will start to depart Poland as they are now racing on different nights,let's see what happens.

Yes £150 which is amazing and yes it was donated as I have seen the proof.

Put up or shut up then

I certainly don't think Tai should be the captain of GB for the World Cup, that honour should go to someone who doesn't think it beneath him to ride in the British Championship, can speak on TV without thinking it's clever to swear, and knows the words of the British national anthem and is prepared to sing it.

I'll put myself forward then. I am a well known British Speedway rider, have even got Justin Elkins email address to prove it. I have experience at Ben Fund meetings, dontate by DD to charities each month, I;m very well advised, only swear when in the company of men aged between 18-40, have been able to trace my British heritage back to the 1500's, and most importantly of all, have a union jack rug in my lounge.

 

Just waiting on Rosco's call now.

Did you know you won't be popular for saying what you have above but there are those who will fully agree.

I always thought it sad that things did not work out at making speedway grade for Justin Elkins. He seemed to have so many mechanical problems and persevered for years but achieved so little.

I do remember him though as a Wimbled in the CL era (2002-2005) when one night he stormed to an 18 point maximum. But after that sadly it was back to persistent engine problems. He moved on to Stoke - started to look good YET AGAIN then all the troubles returned.

I did hear but cannot confirm that he now works in a supermarket. Off track he seemed a really nice guy.

[Arson fire]

Wonder if Elkins stacks shelves in Tesco?? Frowned upon on this very forum i heard.

You had your chance at Cardiff and 40,000 put you in your place.

[solrac]

I'm no Tai fan but blimey, is it that much of a big deal? Speedway needs big personalities, thank god for Tai, NickI, Darcy etc..

 

He swore, so what, move on.

[Trees]

Maybe you missed it but the GPs are thriving, British Speedway is not. Woffy is in the GPs, he's not in the British league. That suggests he IS working.

Great, not!

Anything shouldn't go Wackie, anarchy will reign!

here we, here we, here we fcking go!

[Keefyboy]

I like many others on hear did,nt see or hear the interview but from what I gather he used foul language , this being the case then he needs to take a good look in the mirror,this is a family sporting event and he was bang out of order , he will loose the respect of many people if this continues and personally I think I he should apologise to all fans of all ages .

They can be big personalities on track without being idiot twats off it.

Clearly the forum doesn't like the word either, it 'filtered' the word out.

The thing with this uproar here is that the swearing is just the latest thing following that he can't be arsed to ride for a British team and support speedway in his own country, supposedly due to the travelling though others seem to manage it after all he is only 25. At that age most feel as though they're indestructible and can do anything. Then we have the fact that he then couldn't be arsed to ride and support his own national championship which I believe would have been two meetings, that quite frankly is pathetic. He's turned his back on British fans it would seem, oh sorry he did manage the travelling to show up at Cardiff but then again that was for himself. He's obviously going to be riding for Team GB in the world cup but thats because he can't get there any other way as he's always been a wannabe Aussie. I wouldn't pick him even though it weakens us because if he can't support the sport in his own country any other time don't bother now so give someone else a go. I was pleased when he started racing for GB but now I have no respect for him and his childish petulant way in which he conducts himself. I felt sorry for Lindback on saturday as he'd just won the biggest GP on the circuit and that childish moron wouldn't get himself of the track so Lindback could take the plaudits he deserved. I for one was absolutely delighted he didn't win not that anyone would have thought it from his behaviour. Even the sky interviewer couldn't get a word in edgeways with Woffinden running his motormouth off. Great rider, unfortunately also a complete Tosser who needs to show more respect for the sport and fans that put him where he is now.

Top Post but expect abuse for saying the truth

Well said. I wonder if it is any coincidence that the 2 meetings in GB that Tai will compete in this season are both sponsored by his sponsor.

Why do you keep posting this one line.

 

The only person that attracts abuse is yourself.

 

I can accept differing views from the likes of Star Lady, Trees and others even though their views are different to mine, because they actually bring something to the table.

 

You don't bring anything to table except a wooden spoon to stir people up and wind them up then cry victim.

 

I don't believe your were a rider.

 

If you were you would have revealed who you are.

 

I don't believe you were at Cardiff.

 

 

And don't believe you will be at Manchester.

 

Either bring something to the table for discussion, and stop playing the victim and L might have a bit of respect for you, but as things stand I pity for you as you come across as a very bitter and twisted individual.

[Sir Sidney]

Or perhaps that one is a Grand Prix round (as a part of the world individual championship) and one is the World cup (the most prestigious team competition). I'd venture that any rider with world class aspirations would ride in those regardless of who was the sponsor.

 

For what it's worth:

I was at Cardiff and didn't hear the comment live. I have subsequently seen the interview. I don't think Tai was wise to swear, and I would expect that BSI / FIM might well have given him a warning. Am I offended - not really - but I'd prefer he didn't do it again. I was at Cardiff with family including early teen relations. Given the music they listen to I suspect they wouldn't have even noticed - which perhaps says something about the society we live in.

 

Should the BSPA have Tai as team captain? Again, I would expect that they might tell him the standards they expect. I would be more worried that the captain can lead by example on track and motivate and inspire his team. I have no idea how his team mates feel about him, but I would bet that they would rather have him in the team than not.
