What's wrong with that? He obviously wants his child to have dual nationality. So what?

Is a British Lions team going to race in Western Australia early next year? I have found this on the 2019-20 calendar of the Pinjar Park Speedway in Perth. 

GREAT BRITAIN VS AUSTRALIA SOLO TEAMS TBC (see January 17 & 18)

Has Woffy anything to do with it?

Hopefully it goes ahead although more likely (hopefully) to be a team of Brits who have wintered in AUS rather than a selected squad sent over at additional cost.

I don't think King should be anywhere near the GB side anymore, had his chance. 

That’s great but the whole point of the thread is to name the strongest team, so who comes in instead?

Should be called England. No Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish riders ride in the squad and haven’t for as long as I can remember. 
 

im Welsh but still can’t see why they keep the TEAM GB tag. 
 

 

Probably can't ride as England in case the public mix us up with Georgia who may well, but are highly unlikely too,  have a larger talent pool to pick from

... Think Steve is talking about the England teams of the 70s most probably. And who of that generation can argue that those teams were great ?

Just after those days when Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs were "British" too?

They were, because that is how they were affiliated into the world of speedway back then. New Zealanders and Australians, as much as it seems strange now had no other way of getting into the World Championships etc

Seems that some sort of Test Match (Western Australia v Great Britain) does go ahead next Saturday !

 

TAI WOFFINDEN TO RACE AT PERTH MOTORPLEX.

Two times British Champion, three times World Champion, twice winner of The Rob Woffinden Classic and current Western ...Australian Speedway Solo Champion Tai Woffinden is in town and booked to race at the fabulous Perth Motorplex on Saturday 7th December.

Marshall McDiarmid, President of the Speedway Motorcycle Club of WA and Perth Motorplex Manager Gavin Migro teamed together to ensure they secured this huge event for WA speedway fans.

Tai Woffinden will also race the following week at the Pinjar Park Motorcycle Speedway in Neerubup in Perths northern suburbs the following Saturday night for the running of the Rob Woffinden Classic. He has previously won the title twice and is the defending RWC Champion.

Joining Tai Woffinden at Perth Motorplex will be three other British riders who together form a British Team who will contest a series of events against a strong West Australian side.

Team GB include,
Jack Smith, son of former British Champ, Andy Smith.
Leon Flint, the 16 year old Berwick Bandits flyer
Drew Kemp 2019 British under 19 CHAMPION.

Headlining the Team WA will be former International rider, Frank Smart, the in form Dan Winchester and Matt Marson.

Tai is down under in the Southern hemisphere for some R & R to recover from a bruising European season and his World Grand Prix commitments. He will head back to the UK in the new year, however while in Perth he gives of his time to perform in a couple of shows for his WA fans, much to our delight.

Tai set the Pinjar Park track on fire last January winning the RWC and the WA State Championship and was responsible for some of the largest crowds the new track has seen in its relatively short existence.

This is a great opportunity to see Tai Woffinden and his fellow British team mates perform, an opportunity we don't get to see often in Perth, and I urge you not to miss either of these two huge speedway Meetings.

Graeme Sinden

Better than the clique who so badly embarrassed themselves when faced with up-to-date snapping!
