Being outspoken means stating your opinions frankly and clearly, it doesn’t mean being too inarticulate to express yourself in normal language. What Tai is known for is having his brains in his throttle hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai always seems to have a chip on his shoulder and be looking for ways to be controversial - never seems to engage well with the interviewer. Compare that to Emil - both riders of similar standard but Emil much more interesting and easier to listen to. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s hanging on to his “we beat Ipswich on aggregate” for dear life. He’s mentioned it numerous times on various threads. It’s as if he knows Belle Vue aren’t looking as strong this year and he’s feeling a bit insecure about their chances. I mean, they did lose at Birmingham! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted May 15 Author Report Share Posted May 15 An old cliche but you can meet a team 6 times over a season and get different results each time. Any earlier result means very little when it comes to the play offs. Belle Vue won both league meetings at Foxhall last year, but we walloped them by 18 in the play off semis. They finished top and were the best side in the league last year, we scraped in 4th but knocked them out in the semi finals. You just really don’t know when the play offs come around. Just have to make sure you get there first and foremost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Sheffield's team ratified by the league before or after that date? If after then there is every possibility that a new list needs to be issued (this may have been overlooked?) and perhaps Edwards won't be on it? Genuinely don't know, so not stirring, just asking the question really... Edwards and Gilkes were announced on 20/11/23, completing the Tigers line-up. Gilkes was named as the Rising Star because he had an established Premier Green Sheet of 3.67 (as per the RS list). Edwards is also a Rising Star, but has a 3.00 Green Sheet. Gilkes average would not have fat in the Tigers line-up if he had been named at #6. Even though Gilkes' averages was higher than Edwards, he was named at #7 because the Regs state that the named Rising Star only moves from #7 if his average takes him into the top five.

That speaks for itself, but speedway needs every avenue of support it can get and mouthing off is not the way to get it. It’s a pity because I know from personal experience that Tai can be a very nice guy behind the scenes. I just don’t know why he he speaks the way he does in the public eye sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
