Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted July 15, 2014 Sure it was said on tonight's coverage that Sweden is now on a World Cup break Theres no way he would take a break if he would have missed a polish or swedish fixture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,245 Posted July 15, 2014 Although I don't think there should be a guest on principle, I suppose I hope there is a decent guest to make the meeting bit interesting as think we going to beat them easily anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy jimmy 298 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) He will have a doctor note so a guest should be available. Of course he will miss UK over other leagues, he makes more in one week in Poland and Sweden than in 2 months here. You want to keep the best then pay them accordingly. And lose the "he owes us" crap, he stopped owing Wolverhampton the day you won the league with him in it. Lindgren walked out on you last pre season and Woffinden will this pre season. You don't keep World Champions on the cheap and the BSPA need to work that out. Edited July 15, 2014 by jimmy jimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted July 15, 2014 He won't be the first this year who can't be arsed riding against The Aces and with facilities being handed out to our opponents it seems the powers that be don't give a monkeys about Belle Vue. Who'd have thought it, nowt changes does it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,248 Posted July 15, 2014 What are the facts about pay then, as everyone seems to know - or are assumptions being made. I do know that certain riders get well paid in poland but not so sure about sweden. Top riders in the uk don't do too badly I can assure you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 15, 2014 Pull out during the meeting. Took 4 rides and scored 10points. Not riding in heat 15 isn't same as pulling out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 16, 2014 Any word on the guest for Tai? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fish keeper 165 Posted July 16, 2014 If Tai is to tired to ride maybe he should sit out the WC to recharge his batters for the rest of the season not going to win it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted July 16, 2014 Took 4 rides and scored 10points. Not riding in heat 15 isn't same as pulling out Of course it is if he was asked to and he said he couldn't do it! Tai is his own worst enemy as he doesn't like letting people down, seems to me he was ill at Wolves Monday yet still rode.Isn't that commitment? He shouldn't have rode in either meeting but I'm not knocking a speedway rider for giving it a go then admitting defeat. Too many don't turn up with the lamest excuses. If Tai is to tired to ride maybe he should sit out the WC to recharge his batters for the rest of the season not going to win it anyway. This shows up the pay argument as a load of rubbish as riders are very poorly paid in the World Cup yet he wants to ride in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) After watching life of Tai a few weeks ago the travelling is tough but how many of you think that if Tai wasn't the World Champ he wouldn't have signed for Wolves this year. I feel that Tai was pressured into riding in Britain because he is the World Champ. Lets remember it took Tai a long time to sign the Wolves deal. I do feel for Tai because like he said on life of Tai Britain Monday, Sweden Tuesday, Britain again, GP's Saturday and Poland Sunday. I hope Wolves are allowed to use suitable guests (even though they shouldn't be allowed) So that the paying public aren't being robbed. Zagar has just done exactly the same schedule Only thing he did don't do was the bike ride Edited July 16, 2014 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
