One of the best crowds of the season by all accounts and for a poor line up its a good job he was there as the crowd could have been in three figures.

As I said earlier if he could only be bothered about british speedway and actually do what we pay to watch him do think what the crowd could of been Edited October 26, 2018 by THE DEAN MACHINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to watch him race and hopefully get beat and I do pay to watch when I’m not mechanicing, I was helping the pole on Monday ,I don’t like woffinden in the same way I don’t like Cradley but I still would like them to get back to the Cradley that they were Edited October 26, 2018 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Cradley, completely agree. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you want Tai to ride in the UK and earn less money than he can make abroad?? its the system here that’s messed up, not Tai or any of the top boys. The BSPA are happy to alienate Tai (making the then British champ and World champion ride in a British semi final) and they will do exactly the same to Robert. They don’t make it easier for them to ride here, so don’t expect Tai to come rushing back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know the difference between the level this meeting was and what Tai does during the season. He has done his season, worked hard and come out of it fully fit and with the title. Why would he race in a meeting for about £50 a race. He would have earnt more selling his candles and to see how many people he stopped to talk to, have picture taken and spend time I think many were very happy he was in n the sidelines instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
