Gunner85 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I Am sure Rossiter and the BSPA will not be too happy with his dig at British SPEEDWAY. He is entitled to his opinion but not exactly helpful to British Speedway. he did come across well and was onhist in his answers. it would great to have another British World Champion in 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalan Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just watched the programme, thought he came across really well and interacted with the other guests very well. Don't get this constant Tai bashing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have BT sport, you can get the app and watch it on catch up or I believe if you open up the menu it comes under the heading of Action Women where you will find this Clare Balding series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I’m not a fan of tai but I thought he cane across really well , however the show itself was dire with the last 10 mins turning into some poor mans kids show 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm not a fan but he came across well and the race they showed highlighted the old chestnut first out of the start always wins not to be true, it was a great race and a good plug for our sport. Strange considering his criticisms of the GB set up especially the diet that he admitted to a weakness for burgers etc, hope he gets that someone to put the lock on his fridge:). England never have a hope of winning the World Cup or the European championship but I bet Frank Lampard never thought about not turning out for his country. Rather than walking away I think riding and changing things having an influence within the set up would be a better way for him to go.

I suspect any potential offer by BT to televise British Speedway would be significant improved if Tai was leading a team next year. Appearances in shows like this, being mentioned by name in BT's most recent ad...they know they can market the guy. Another new rule, this year, has put a block on many top riders not riding in this country as you are only allowed 1 x 8point rider in a team. This has lead to the current World Champion, Doyle, moving clubs( I am sure a lot of Swindon fans are happy with that) & Wolves losing their spearhead & GP rider, Lindgren. Most top riders will be reassessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could stop acting like a petulant little twit on twitter he'd have the whole PR thing covered and I'm sure would be well liked.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Instead of getting the fighty bird to kick the tuna buttys off tai’s head why not get the soccer player to do a full throttle practice start on a speedway bike in the studio , that would of been pure entertainment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just watched it... Shame he cannot lead the Sport forwards in this country... Ticks a lot of boxes from the marketing side in trying to attract a younger audience.. Confident, positive, an engaging personality, ambitious and tattoos...!! What's not to like? Came across very well... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was the lack of TV money that stopped then having Freddie...as it's obvious they went for the cheaper option of Jacob...or Freddie wanted too much.

Not at all convinced that is the case. Lack of tv money as said above a far more likely factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
