BWitcher Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 So with tai earning hundreds of thousands then why did he quit team gb ? For the same reasons Lee Richardson and Scott Nicholls did. I wish the block on here was like on facebook , so even if someone quotes a blocked user I can't see it, although it is mildly amusing , seeing people who are too thick to realise they are blocked still posting replies haha Even more amusing when you post this and nobody had even quoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobnob Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 All these people on here spouting their self righteous views no one really knows what went on between the BSPA and Woofy and to be honest that should stay between them, I hope they do sort out their differences for the benefit of youngster's coming throu. As for him not riding over here surely he has the right to earn his money where he believe@s he gets the best deal and with the polish rules he can only do two leagues. whether he ride's for team gb is his choice its not compulsory to ride its an invitation to ride. I am disappointed he has chosen not to ride but that's his decision and I respect it. I wish all you lot getting all brave behind the keyboard would pack it in and just get behind the rest of team gb, some of you seem to have a real dislike of Tai, I don't like the tattoos and piercings but that's his choice I just like to see him on a bike. Some of you could do with actually getting on a bike and seeing what its really like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Orion is one of the people on here that i actually have no idea what he likes or dislikes.He generally wants confrontation and is never positive on any issue a crying shame really.So lets this get this right ..you been banned about 20 times for being confrontation etc etc and you post this ...do me a favour and look up irony Edited May 16, 2017 by orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 For the same reasons Lee Richardson and Scott Nicholls did. Even more amusing when you post this and nobody had even quoted. They both had different reasons. LR was about funding for National side, SN was about training and support for GB riders - policy on SEC was the straw which hurt the camel. He has now recognised the work being done by the BSPA. As far as I can see Tai's reasons are the lack of doing things his way, using his people - or have I got that wrong?

The simple facts are Richardson, Nicholls and Woffinden all stopped riding for GB due to disagreements with the BSPA. There is one common factor involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Money..so far wide of the mark. Watch the Mark Loram DVD that will tell you all you need to know about the BSPA and why Mark doesn't get involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggering how people deny something they have posted. You have concocted your version using the elements that fit your narrative and ignoring others, you cannot deny it, it is there for all to see. The common factor is the BSPA. However, if you have agendas you'll ignore that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you could do with actually getting on a bike and seeing what its really like. what makes you think if the bspa were to exceed to Woffindens demands ,that it would benefit youngsters coming through ? 2 years before he threw his toys out of the pram , Woffinden was going to do great things for the benefit of British speedway and especially the youngsters . so while everything was rosy , tell me what exactly he did for anyones benefit other than his own , then I will have a clear picture of what we are actually missing out on through the BSPA being stubborn and continuing to put their faith In the likes of Poultec and Neil Vatcher . instead of handing British speedways future lock stock and 2 smoking barrels over to Woffinden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 2 leagues, your home league and two more, Tai could race in the UK, Poland and Sweden if he so wished .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed he could and if he was greedy and money was all he was interested in he could do that. However, he'd rather not have the hassle of travelling backwards and forwards, racing on all different nights of the week and work to a set schedule. As do most in his position. It doesn't work for some, Freddie Lindgren for example prefers to stay busy. That is the choice that British speedway has taken, it's not Tai's fault. The not riding in British Final and for Team GB are different issues and yes I am disappointed that he doesn't. However, none of us are in the position to make a proper judgement of that situation as despite what some may try and claim we don't know the full story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard him say the reason he doesn't race here is because he can only race in two leagues so has he got this written in his Polish contract unlike everyone else?
