Gavan 5,050 Posted April 16, 2015 After the first month of the season is over with what are peoples thoughts on who should be in the World Cup Squad? Do we run with the tried and tested or throw youngsters in? This would be my squad of 7 WOFFINDEN HARRIS NICHOLLS LAMBERT LAWSON HOWARTH KING If Scott cant be persuaded to ride then i would call up Stead. Just please no Kennett!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted April 16, 2015 Personally wouldn't have Woffy. He didn't want British speedway this season, we ain't gonna win so use Harris & King for experience and put Robert Lambert, Kyle Howarth and Kyle Newman. If we need to have a squad fill it with youngsters not been there not done its. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At Kings Lynn id go Woffinden, Lambert, Stead, Harris with King in reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted April 16, 2015 so you would expect people to pay out despite missing our best rider by far. At Kings Lynn id go Woffinden, Lambert, Stead, Harris with King in reserve Up to individuals whether they pay up or not. I value loyalty and this year Woffy hasn't shown any to British speedway so I see no reason to show any to him. GB are not going to win in 2015 so build for the future IMHO.

Bagpuss 10,814 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Tai Woffinden doesn't owe British Speedway anything as far as I'm concerned, if he feels its best to cut down on his riding and travelling then I don't blame him for cutting the UK out of his schedule at all. He has to be the first name on the team sheet for me as our one truly world class rider. Edited April 16, 2015 by Gordon Bennett 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GB are not going to win in 2015 so build for the future IMHO. Other opinions are available, terms and conditions apply so to build for the future we should leave out a 23 year old former world champ!! i appreciate that your entitled to an opnion but thats mad to me. If were building for the future lets leave out Harris. Older and doesnt offer much as a rider 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GB are not going to win in 2015 so build for the future IMHO. Other opinions are available, terms and conditions apply What loyalty has British Speedway shown to Woffinden? For instance in 2013 when he was riding in the SEC and the BSPA afforded him or Wolverhampton no help. Last year he promoted speedway in this country like no other has done, probably at the detriment to his own career. He is the only truly world class rider we have and should always be No. 1 on the team sheet. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we need to have a squad fill it with youngsters not been there not done its. Wow really How can you leave out a 23 year old ex world champ and number 4 in the world? He is the future lol Riders like Stead, Cook , King and Kennett are the riders who have been there not done it. If anyone seriously thinks leaving out Woffinden is a good idea i think they need their heads tested. There is no way Kyle Newman as good a rider as he is should be in a World Cup squad. Lawson Lambert and Howarth are all ahead of Newman. If you think Newman should be in then what about Garrity, Blackbird , Auty, Steve Worrall? All as good if not better than Newman And i wouldnt have any of them near a Team GB squad personally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
