Gavan Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Doez your cousin think he rocky balboa lol You sad little man The sad thing is we should be all cheering him on tonight in the gp but for a large majority that is no longer the case. He has lost so much support in this country. Sure, as Stevebrum puts it, he will get the biggest cheer at Cardiff. There are a lot of people who attend this one meeting. At grass roots club fan level he has lost a ton of support for his snub of anything British. Refuses to ride for his country, the British championship or his own countries league. To be honest I couln't care less if he wins tonight or scores zero. And that is a shame. People on here saying it his his choice as the British league is rubbish. Well perhaps if he said I am riding in it, the league would be more enticing? I said it before and I say again. The most unpopular British world champion we have ever had. A real shame but the lislike for him is totally self inflicted. You are so deluded in your opinion its unreal All true brits will cheer him on. just 1 or 2 keyboard warriors who wont. At grass roots club level he has loads of support, its just the odd few oddballs like yourself who dont He isnt the most unpopular World Champion we have ever had. I would say that was Havelock.........didnt he get banned for something once?? Oh sorry he rode for Poole!!!!! What about Michael Lee? Wouldnt say he was exactly Mr Clean either. Who are you cheering for in the GP? Holder, Hancock, Lindback, Magic, Doyle?? All ex Poole riders, 2 of whom dont want to ride for Poole and the other 3 dont want to ride over here.................oh same as Tai!!!

The White Knight Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Start again and go back and find what i wrote......if you can find where i said i would 'smash his face in' then please show me. I told him that if he told my cousin what he had wrote then he better not come face to face with him. Try reading what i have written. Otherwise your simply just a liar That is his modus operandi Gavan - he knows little else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember Mauger/Olsen,Michanek all getting boos but mostly that was because of the respect they had as great riders.Woffinden is no different no more unpopular than Lee Carter he has real support just a few on here who moan most of us see the bigger picture.!!!!

The non-British born don't have any nationality links. They have no real allegiance to British speedway. But the "British-born Australian" should. That's the difference.

Let's go back to last seasons World Championship, Doyle was a cert to become world champion until that freak accident,he rides British speedway. Tai spat his dummy out and thinks he is bigger than British speedway unless it's on his terms and runs out of rides abroad then comes crawling back.

Give it a rest your brain must be hurting! He rides where he thinks it is best for him to be able to try and win the world title and that means not riding here. He didn't crawl back , he came back to do extra meetings to keep himself sharp. You are so anti Tai that you totally forget the facts and make yourself look stupid you really are the gift that keeps giving. Was watching the Mark Loram DVD try having a look and hear Marks views on the BSPA and what they do for youngsters and why he isn't involved 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm not sure he's the most unpopular British World Champion, my opinion is very much like your's on him, however I recall Mike Lee also divided opinion and remember personally being gutted as a kid when I walked out of my first world final trip abroad in 1980. Very true about Michael Lee. In the 1981 final when he came off a massive cheer came up from the crowd. Not sure why he was unpopular. I think at that time most British fans seemed to support the USA! Or, at least, it seemed like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Must admit that I'm on the same page as you. Off to Warsaw tomorrow and my 2 nine foot Tai Woffinden flags wont be travelling. Woffinden has decided British speedway has served his purpose for him and he wants nothing more to do with it. Great while he was developing his talent, National,Premier, Elite leagues. British Championships, wild card to the GP, World cup final. But now British speedway has served its purpose and he's a World star then its bye bye., I'm sick of people making excuses for him, yet again he wants to ride in the World games because its good for him and him only,same as his Elite league cameo last year when he had a blank few weeks to spare us Don't expect this guy to give anything back to British speedway for the assistance it has given him in his career. He has all the excuses in the book for why he can't do a British Final, ride in the World Cup or do a training school,its all hot air, hell he couldn't even turn out for Peter Karlsson's testimonial , a guy who flew out all over Europe last year to assist him. He seems to think he is representing Britain by simply riding in the GP although factually he is more likely to sing Australia's national anthem than the British one. Chris Harris and Mark Loram may never achieve Woffinden's achievements but give me these 2 riders anyday, proud of what it meant to represent GB Been having the Tai Woffinden debate with quite a few Brits at this weeks GP in Warsaw. Opinion like on this forum is pretty split. Some see him as the blue eyed boy of British speedway, some are annoyed by his actions and his treatment of British speedway and its fans. The lady I sat next to in Warsaw was a big fan and said " What have you got against him" I showed her the above post and she said " fair comment " Another guy at the airport said the same today. The problem is Tai Woffinden could have 99 % of British fans on his side by just taking the trouble to ride in the British Final and represent Team GB in the Speedway World Cup.I get it that some will never like him but that's their problem. Surely it would be better to have all the British fans pulling for you rather than splitting opinion,I don't think he cares but he should.

New Science Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Something I else I noticed being at the Gp this weekend. I thought Tai Woffinden rode really well and with first pick in the semi final fully expected him to make the final.Not to be and after a rerun he comes in 3rd and is eliminated. He then proceeds to do not one but two laps of honour on the Warsaw track. The usual rule of thumb is that if you are a home rider and eliminated you do a lap of honour to thank your home fans, if you're not then get off the track and back to the pits.with the others. He may think its ' all about him ' but it isn't ! not the time or his place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have said that a number of times now. I had to explain to you that changing your mind isn't lying - you obviously have a problem understanding English, never mind writing it. As for the rest of your Post - unintelligible claptrap as usual. I don't know what you were taught at School - but it certainly wasn't English. :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Utter rubbish as usual. That should read 'for a large minority'.Your opinion. Even someone who was at the Warsaw GP found that many no longer support the guy. You can continue to beat the Woffinden drum but he has lost the support of a large majority of British fans. I myself am not anti Woffinden. If he came back to British speedway league, rode for TeamGb and rode in the national championships he would get support back. But certainly not with the way he has treated British fans currently as mugs. But I guess some would support him even if he said it to their face.

Please explain why you think he should come back and ride in the British League??
