spin king Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why are Sky showing Tai's rides at Wolves? Probably giving Poole fans a break from watching their team getting stuff at Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why are Sky showing Tai's rides at Wolves? Oh dear. The fact you even have to ask such a question is staggering. Well done Sky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Oh dear. The fact you even have to ask such a question is staggering. Well done Sky. It was a fair question. So let's be clear, Yes Tai is World Champion (for now), but he's just another rider. A rider who turned his back on British speedway which Pearson and team gloss over, and now he's back Sky are falling over themselves to promote him. This felt less about the World Champion riding in the UK and more about a PR exercise to big up Tai... remind me again, whose Tai's PR officer? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yawn , Lovers gonna Love Correct, I hear there was a big crowd at Monmore tonight? Looks like the lovers out-numbered the haters. Besides, what the hell is there to complain about? We got to see five extra races on Sky tonight.. that's nothing but a positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much it did for the self esteem of the other six Wolves riders. Not blaming Woffinden for this, but the Wolves promotion should be ashamed of themselves. Those six riders have got the team to challenge for the play offs and now it appears they are just by-standers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris4gillian Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) This thread has completely and utterly proved that gavan and chris gillian are the same person. Hilarious. I assume you jest. While Gavan and I may share the same opinion on some points (not all), my posts are less direct and confrontational (no offence meant Gavan). I have also had some private messages in the past with Dazzafl (and a few others) so he (like them) know I'm not Gavan. Anyone is free to do the same if you really, REALLY believe we're the same person. Personally I find it quite hilarious that we're being compared bearing in mind I'm a lifelong Pirate supporter and Gavan certainly is not! No they post identical messages talk in the same tone etc, its clear for most to see. I beg to differ on that. Read my posts on the previous pages and read Gavan's. Completely un-identical from start to finish. Oh and I won't call you any names...as that's not my style unless pushed beyond the boundaries of common sense, which you've actually managed to surpass. Why are Sky showing Tai's rides at Wolves? Because thousands and thousands of UK speedway supporters appreciate him - despite the handful of haters on here. Am hardly going to fly from Melbourne to Essex to meet some strange Ipswich/Poole fan am i? although when i visit home i will give you a shout, depends if im closer to poole or essex at the time though chris :rofl: Feel free to drop by Southampton anytime as I live there, not Poole! Something you would know if you bothered to look at my profile. Edited August 23, 2016 by chris4gillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure the Wolves boys are more than happy that they have had the team strengthened and have a better chance of winning the league. Tai and Thorssell are great mates , same with Howarth and possibly Tai riding inspired Clegg as well. You do post some strange stuff when trying to bash Tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I did not blame Tai, therefore I was not Tai bashing. I didn't mention strengthening the Wolves team merely that a TEAM consists of SEVEN riders not just the one, a fact that seems to have escaped Sky, Pearson and it appears your good self.

EDITED to correct fat finger spelling disorder Probably quite aware they aren’t the World Champion and happy to have their chances of a title medal increased since we are imposing our thoughts to be those of the Wolves team….

Shale Searcher Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Tai is back for one reason only, his European leagues are now into the play off stages, one team is in, one isn't, so he's just maintaining his weekly racing level.. Ok, it benefits Wolverhampton, but that is a by-product of the situation. Wonder if the added numbers to the attendance, provides enough additional revenue to pay his wage....?

EDITED to correct fat finger spelling disorder Wow you do have some weird views. as i said you dont think the Wolves guys want him there lol last night the 2x British World Champion had his first ride back in the league of course they will show that , guess what it kinds of helps to promote the sport! Swindons team consists of 7 riders but 1 of them is the main drawcard and points scorer same at Wolves. Im afraid you couldnt be more wrong in the way you think. Tais return is detrimantal to the morale of the other Wolves riders.............sorry im hurting Oh right so as your profile says your from Southampton ill take that as gospel shall i? Its clear your both the same person. As many people have already said. lol you keep going buddy you making yourself look quite the t0sser really.......takes some doing.

It’s completely ridiculous to impose that stance as though it is Woffinden exclusive though. Harris, Iversen, Doyle, Holder, Charles Wright, Danny Ayres, Ben Morley etc generally all race for reason only, to make money, it is literally their job. It is also questionable that increased attendances are needed to pay his wages, that’s just an additional caveat of strawmaismim thrown in to shine a negative light on the situation. This posturing of Woffidnen is isn't healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said try reading I did not say the Wolves riders didn't want him there. Resorted to name calling again just because someone has a differing viewpoint to yourself. Didn't take long did it.
