BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 8, 2016 I'm not part of that vast (according to you ) majority nor is anybody else I know who follows speedway . I would much rather see a team comprised of riders who didn't choose to be British out of convenience , and still showing their loyalty to British speedway where they learned their trade He learned his trade in Australia.

Guest Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Bomber,Tai,Danny,Craig with lambertl as reserve. As everyone knows I would leave tai out for missing the British final but nobody is strong enough to stand up and say what's right,if it was another GB rider then there would be calls to leave them out. Danny was British champ so deserves his place like the first 2 are GP riders, think cook could step up and be a hero. No place for Nichols but had tai,bomber or cook won the British final then I would of put in steve Worrall in instead of king Wow 100 pages, just goes to show R72 can keep people debating At least one objective has been achieved in this ongoing thread...! Jeez, is this topic still boring on? Well of course it is, lead by the one man hate band Robert72. Still he has all the attention he craves as people feed it's nonsense. of course Tai will be leading GB and get huge support at Cardiff. He is a popular and well loved world champion. WOFFY WOFFY WOFFY. Not everywhere and everyone from what I have seen according to some Posts in this lengthy but interesting thread.

robert72 845 Posted July 8, 2016 He learned his trade in Australia. He didn't learn it very well in Austrailia as he started off in the bottom league in the uk,most Aussies start a lot higher. So after all that he really learnt his trade in Britain and then deserted British speedway as he no longer needed it or the British fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted July 8, 2016 How many times to some people need it drumming into their heads that Tai Woffinden is British before it actually sinks in? Unbelievable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chris4gillian 1,832 Posted July 8, 2016 http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/5008/battle-of-britain Ooh, what's Tai holding in his right hand? Aussie? My arse lol.

I don't see any implication in robert72's comment that Tai Woffinden is an Australian, rather I view it as comparing him and his progress as against that demonstrated by Australian youngsters.

Think it is just showing ignorance.All Aussies that come over at the age Tai did start at the same level as Tai did.So what is the point of a comparison?
