4thbender Posted Thursday at 05:21 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:21 PM I love Tai, but give him a Testimonial Meeting in respect of his long service to British Speedway? Are they having a laugh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted Thursday at 07:31 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:31 PM Testimonials used to be 10 years at one club (or more if contracts bought out by BSPA like Kyle Howarth’s), prior to 2024 Woffinden has not done a full season in UK since 2014, just a few meetings here and there at end of season when it’s suited him to earn a few extra quid, it of a joke this one really 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted Friday at 06:16 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:16 AM I wonder if his British final appearance was on the proviso he could have a testimonial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTheAce Posted Friday at 07:04 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:04 AM One thing this AGM as confirmed is jack holder deciding to race in Uk. Giving Poole Sheffield so holder bros can return to Poole for a bumper crowd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his testimonial is awarded on the basis of his services as British speedway's ambassador to Poland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyK86 Posted Saturday at 12:25 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:25 AM Not surprised we have let Kyle go, great captain and service to the club but you could tell things were going a bit stale for him last season. He is a very frustrating rider to watch as he will ride out of his skin one heat and beat a top rider then in the next he will be well off the pace against reserves. Looking forward to the cup tie against Poole, interesting to see how they line up but always good to have a different team visit and maybe they are doing it to test the waters and a possible return to the top league which would be a boost for the sport.

4BenMoran Posted Saturday at 12:34 AM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:34 AM Still believe having 3 reserves in Rowe, Gilkes and Flint will bite us in the arse, sometimes at home but especially away. If top four don’t get 40+ points each meeting then can see more defeats than wins making top 4 a big challenge 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted Saturday at 12:45 AM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:45 AM Pickering had a good month in 2024 and that was it rest of year rode to his average of 6, he needs two point a meeting on that at least. Woffinden the main worry, if he’s not 100% come March/April we are basically carrying him, OK he might be 10/20 people through the gates but that’s not points to a team total.

Are they having a laugh? Sure Tai has raced more than 10 seasons in Britain. Would be the mid 2000's he started for Scunny. He was also at Rye House before Wolves.
