BWitcher Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Show me proof that ALL youngsters want to be the next Woffy ? Oops you can't as it's the same old stevebrum making things up. lets hope future British riders don't follow him and desert their home country. You're right, no youngster wants to be a 2 time World Champion. Let's hope all future British riders follow Robert72 and be crap as a rider and spend the rest of their life as a keyboard warrior. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Irrelevant when the other leagues are on fixed nights with a light schedule. If I was in Tai's position I wouldn't be racing in the UK either.. and I would say 99% of those moaning would be the same. Correct. I cannot understand why people struggle to comprehend this.

If that makes them better and leads to more success, go for it. It's up to British Speedway to sort it's own problems out so that riders don't feel the need to 'clear off'. Speaking of being bright.. you'd have to be pretty dumb to work for about half the money for twice the hours and numerous varying days a week rather than two fixed ones.... that's what your advocating though.

But I guess that you think Jason Doyle is dumb as he is still riding in British Speedway and he should of been the current world champion,maybe you need to have a word with him oh and Chris Holder,they must both be dumb. You support a rider you don't see in your or his own country that must be great ? If that makes them better and leads to more success, go for it.

If Tai feels he has to ditch British Speedway in order to further his ambitions of being World Champion the so be it. It is STILL great to have a British World Champion. Naturally it saddens me that he has left but if British Speedway had been on the same level of Poland or Sweden, both from a financial point of view and also from a competative point of view too - he might have stayed. If you are going to blame anyone blame British Speedway for the plight it is in. THAT is not Tai's fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 He's a Brit, the others weren't, simple really.so with some sort of strange logic you think that he should ride here because he is British?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops you can't as it's the same old stevebrum making things up. lets hope future British riders don't follow him and desert their home country. show me the proof that they don't!! I would reckon a vast majority of young Brits want to be the next Tai Woffinden a multi world champion with huge amounts of ability and dedication. Why should he ride here just because he is British??? Stupid and pathetic arguement. Until the sport sorts itself out over here then a majority won't ride here it's quite simple. I want Tai to be world champion and give himself the best chance to do that. You on the other hand are a twisted very strange person. I'm going to Cardiff come and meet me and let's see which rider gets the best reception??? Then afterwards we can both go and have a chat with Tai and you can tell him how you feel.......hopefully he will respond!

But you are right, no up and coming youngsters want to be the next British World Champion. The gift that keeps giving. I will remind you who gets the biggest cheer at Cardiff by the way, or I could tell you now.

He is British. Just some very very sad people don't like the fact that he also loves the country he grew up in. You know the country where his family emigrated to, the country he grew up in, the country his friends are from. Your deluded if you think he doesn't have some affection for the place.

That proves he is British - he was born here. As Gavan says - he was brought up in Australia so it is only natural that he would have an affection for the place and the people.

New Science Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) To be honest I don't blame him for not racing in the British League (ah, those were the days), it's more the fact that he feels he's too good to bother with the British Final. People were making excuses for him last year saying it was the clash of dates that stopped him from riding in the semi-final, but I said at the time that was just an excuse and he never intended competing, as has been proved this year. I was cheering as loudly as anyone for him in 2013 in the gp's, but with each passing year he seems to alienate more and more British fans. I'd love to cheer the only Brit in the world championship, but I can't bring myself to..I know that Chris Harris isn't up to gp standard anymore, but I still wish he was in it.. just so I could cheer on a Brit! 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 Edited May 11, 2017 by New Science 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 That's true but not riding in the British Championship or SWC is certainly his fault. Is it? Was not riding for Britain the fault of Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson too? Just because they wanted the individual glory of riding in the British Final but not represent their country... Tai's not so selfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
