dazzafl Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 it's about time he gives something back to British Speedway and the Future as he was happy to use British Speedway when he needed it but now thinks he is to big for it. tell you what out of curiosity.. please outline what he can do so you will be happy.. please take into consideration where he rides week in and out his GP's including travelling times and spending time with his new wife and his R&R (which he is entitled to) and then tell us all how he can do more for british speedway other than being the only British rider on the World GP stage.. I await your full and consise run down on what he can do more for the British public who for the majority love him and he will get a massive roar at Cardiff thats for sure..

Ride in the British Final Ride for Team GB in the World Cup Run the occasional training school in Britain as was proposed That will do for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPNY Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hes multiple British & World Champion. He's one of a minority of people in this world who actually loves what he does for a living. He gets cheered on by 10's of thousands every Sunday in Poland and will be given a hero's reception by about 40k people in Cardiff next month. In Short, I don't think he cares about Rob's opinion of him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly think that he will have over 40,000 fans giving him a heroes welcome this year, my sides are splitting with laughter, he clearly doesn't care about British Fans and many will rather support Johnny Foreigner than him now.

speedibee Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I may be completely wrong here and going from memory. But I seem to recall Tai offering to hire a track out in Europe but the bspa weren't prepared to cover travel costs. As I say don't take that as a statement of fact as it's just something I seem to recall. so Tai wants to hire a track ,but wants the BSPA to pay ,that would be right , I don't post here very often, probably because no matter what you say, someone jumps down your throat... But, to use football as a comparison, did the fans turn on Paul Scholes or John Terry when they refused to play for their country or do foreign fans slag off their countrymen for plying their trade in a foreign country because the pay and standard is better??? Yes I know circumstances are different before the keyboard warriors start flexing their fingers but you get the analogy. Every time a speedway rider gets on a bike they risk death and serious injury to entertain a few hardy soles that stand by what (in this country) can only be described as an industry that is devoid of ideas and is living in the past, so why shouldn't someone look after number 1? Most people on here would earn a better wage if they could and I reckon 90% of the people on here would do exactly the same if they had a similar level of talent on a bike. This guy wanted to raise the level of awareness and the profile of speedway in this country when he first became World Champ and raised thousands for charity on the back of him being the biggest name in the country. No-one on here will truly know what has happened between Tai and the powers that be, some accuse Tai of spitting his dummy out, others say the BSPA has a lack of professionalism....WE DONT KNOW THE TRUTH... Yes he has chosen not to ride for the UK at this time but he stated it wasn't permanent and left the door open, this suggests that if the problem could be sorted he would return.... Don't forget without him we wouldn't have gotten the Silver ..... We'd have been embarrassed at our newest stadium... And as for giving something back, he is still young and at his peak, let him concentrate on what he does best, he may have offered to help, he may not have, again it's speculation... We don't know... As for the people who question his tattoos and persona.... Get a bloody grip !!! of course he left the door open . might be some other plum opportunities like the world games he fancies cherry picking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert72 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 He has the last 5 years so why would this be any different. I will give you a few clues, he turned his back on the British fans by Not wanting to represent the British national team,he also decided he was not doing either the British final or British speedway. Why should he get a heroes welcome, what has he done for British fans ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Ok well he hasn't ridden in UK for a few years now, he didn't ride in the BF last year, hes not representing GB because we are run by amateurs. Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean he wont get a fantastic reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made a lot of fans dislike him but I guess there will always be the happy clappers who are not concerned that they won't see him ride in the country he was born in anymore.

RPNY Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) I was a happy clapper when Beckham was at Real Madrid too. Oh well. And just to back up my claim that the BSPA are not the sharpest, I see Robert Lambert - by FAR our brightest prospect isn't in the British Final. Rory Schlein is tho. Top work guys...

Lambert is not in because he didn't qualify....for whatever reason and for once the BSPA have done the right thing and not managed to find a way to wangle him in. Schlien did qualify...whether he should have been eligible is a matter of opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway that has nothing to do with Tai and everything to do with how an antiquated system hasnt been adjusted for modern climate. Lambert is not in because he didn't qualify....for whatever reason and for once the BSPA have done the right thing and not managed to find a way to wangle him in. Schlien did qualify...whether he should have been eligible is a matter of opinion. Star Lady I will respectfully disagree with you on this one. It is madness that Lambert isnt in and riders like Schlien, Robbo, Bridger (I am a fan of all 3 by the way) are. Certain riders should be seeded based on form. Better for everyone involved.
