Aces51 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 he isnt going to say its the BSPA's fault is he.. let be honest here It's no less credible than anything Tai has said and at least we can understand what he is saying. It's a gracious, response wishing Tai well but making clear he is not going to beg, which has to be right. It would seem that Tai didn't give Rosco any explanation so it seems everyone is in the dark about his specific reasons. Do we know what this successful business is that Tai has created?

Steve Shovlar Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) What gives you the right to take the piss out of me Addio? who the fuc. are you a total nobody in my book another prize c... of the forum.Showing your true colours there. On topic, As I said yesterday, this has nothing to do with the bspa so they won't be involved. Doesn't take a genius to see what's going on here.

sparkafag Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 he isnt going to say its the BSPA's fault is he.. let be honest here i think we can all be clear.. if something is on Tai's mind he will just come out with it yes he hasnt given us all the details but i think the comments "i have had enough of being taken for a mug or being mugged off" and "i wish i could buy the BSPA and run it like i run my business" . Surely if he is the kind of persons who will say something that is on his mind he would say it was the fault of the BSPA if that was the thing that was on his mind? It is all well and good to simply fob of he hasn’t given detail, but in most instance the detail is massively important, if you leave it to people to decipher tweets and thoughts they will generally loose interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzafl Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) I kind of guess.. the full rant wont come out yet because he has to ride over here for the rest of the season and he wont want any grief.. cant take back a tweet.. look.. whatever has gone on we know its between him and the BSPA I am pretty sure it will come out in the end and us all drawing conclusions from cryptic tweets is stupid.. we cant cure anything we can get the BSPA to do anything and we cant get Tai to do anything... we need to go with the flow and see what pans out really..

Star Lady Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Errrr no we do not KNOW it's between him and the BSPA because he hasn't said it is. You, I and everyone else can assume that to be the case but we cannot know. Oh heck I'm begining to sound like someone else now Incidentally is media training part of his great plan do you think, cos he really should be first in line for the lessons if it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is outspoken and isn’t that bothered about the BSPA, but not to the point that he would be outspoken enough to speak out against them while racing in Britain? That’s not outspoken then, that’s selective choice of being outspoken on subjects that suit. If the stance is that what has gone on is between him and the BSPA, that’s totally fine, but surely then keep it that way? Instead it is sort of throwing the BSPA under the bus, but not really, and neither to the point the BSPA can reply nor to the point the comments are said with the courage of conviction for people they are being said to (his fans) to get behind, instead I assume most are just left wondering why he is leaving Team GB in the lurch. For what it is worth I think it is absurdly unfair on Woffinden that people attempt to speak on his behalf (I don’t just mean you) it doesn’t do him the favours people often think it does, instead, rightly or wrongly, adds further noise to a lot of what is said – which is all that this situation has done IMO.

Phil The Ace Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) His latest "toys out the pram" is all to do with expenses from the world cup;) He wanted X amount BSPA said "NO" we will only give you this amount. Tais said sod you. I'm off for a year. That's the straw that broke the camels back. This just adds to his frustration with the BSPA overall I'm not tais biggest fan. But there is no denying that he is world class and Britain's greatest ever rider in the making. Will we win the SWC without him - NO CHANCE will we win the SWC with him - NO but he will help us achieve a medal in the mean time. Therefore the BSPA need to listen to him because whatever he's done it's worked but also tai needs to understand the BSPA and British speedway is not like Poland or the PZM. There budget is unlimited. Ours isn't. We will just have to work that little harder to achieve our goals. And if/when we do the win will be even sweeter.

Yes originally I heard he paid his own. He said it himself. No one will ever know the truth.

madame muck Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 He didn't claim for any expenses??!!

dazzafl Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) He didn't claim for any expenses??!! didn't claim for any flights/travel/fuel or accomodation costs for his team to be there... you would think food and drink would be sorted by the team at least.. i would think so anyway Edited August 18, 2016 by Dazzafl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) No garlic bread or wedges. Would be no surprise if it's down to finance. Unfortunately, it is understandable that the BSPA, which is made up of promoters and promotions who are not exactly awash with money, want to keep a tight hold on the purse strings. I guess their logic is that they don't actually gain too much from a successful GB team. Whole episode begs a few questions? Is the World Cup a viable entity? Is money being made? And if so who gets it? Edited August 18, 2016 by salty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) didn't claim for any flights/travel/fuel or accomodation costs for his team to be there... you would think food and drink would be sorted by the team at least.. i would think so anyway Surely, he wouldn't be allowed to claim expenses travelwise, except from his UK home address to Belle Vue and back home.... So around 160 miles @ 48p tops.. Surely he wasn't expecting travel costs from Poland or where ever else he rides in Europe....

Woz01 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 All this over pizza? Brilliant. Clubs don't pay mechanics expenses so why should GB? Mechanics are employed by the rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
