BWitcher 12,453 Posted April 29, 2015 If British speedway paid the pay, the top riders would amazingly find ways to fit it into their schedules as they did in the old days. Incorrect. Do you think they pay big money in Denmark? Or in the Czech and German leagues that some riders will ride in? The biggest beef with riders is the schedule, as it would be with anyone in their position. One night a week racing, Woffinden would be racing here. As would Hancock. and that of course is your opinion , which you are welcome to .. of course despite the tone of the posting it does not constitute any sort of statute , and concequently does not override anyone elses view . When your views are xenophobic and racist, as yours are, they are redundant. We all know your beef. We all know why you rant as you do, indeed you stormed off the forum for some time the last time you were on here ranting when the truth was pointed out. Some riders have the ability to cut the mustard, others don't. You should actually be happy, the more of these riders don't ride here, the more places open up for riders of lesser ability.

orion 7,615 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Which other main nation has fixtures on 5 different nights of the week spread haphazardly throughout the season? IF the main nations had the same format there own riders would still be likely ride in there own leagues ....I guess the answer to my question was no one Edited April 29, 2015 by orion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedibee 3,091 Posted April 29, 2015 IF the main nations had the same format there own riders would still be likely ride in there own leagues ....I guess the answer to my question was no one never expected to see you get an answer, question wasn't convenient enough , I never got an answer from Sidney either , same reason he couldn't answer without ruining his own argument . so just kept quiet ..

Trees 2,814 Posted April 29, 2015 Everyone Of those bar Harris has at one time or another decided that they didnt want Brititsh speedway eithe so as usual a terrible argumentThe other riders aren't British! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted April 29, 2015 He doesn't reckon British speedway is worth the candle NOW . but he was quite happy to make use of it to get started . I'm sure he doesn't he doesn't think Scunthorpe , Rye House , Poole or Wolverhampton are worth the candle now, they have served their purpose and they and their supporters can go swivel as far as he's concerned . personally I'm Glad he's gone .British speedway is no worse for his absence and with any luck it will make a few promoters think twice before employing GP riders , and might even make them consider if it's worth running the worlds training scheme, only to get kicked in the teeth as soon as the riders they have trained thing they are too big for Britain any longer Zagar iversen and AJ didnt learn to ride here ,so they are free to do as they please. Batchelor has never opted out . so that leaves former British speedway academy rider Holder, who did , That is a load of tosh speedibee. I don't see a lot of loyalty to Riders in British Speedway except from the Supporters of course. Tai, on the other hand, owes British Speedway nothing. British Speedway owes Tai a lot because of all the Publicity Events that he attended during his year as World Champion. Everyone said what a wonderful, hard working World Champion he was - and - I agree with them. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Tai, should he win another World Championship would do the same again - Promoting BRITISH Speedway in the Media, on Television and any way he could..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct he owes nobody anything. Chris Van Straaten will tell you he owes British Speedway nothing so he doesn't need 'asking'. Quite what Matt Ford has to do with it, who knows but I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel 'owed'. Now we know you have views that are, to put it mildy, bordering on xenophobic and racist, but the reality is, slavery doesn't exist anymore. Woffinden isn't 'owned' by anyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course he doesn't owe them anything. He gave good value for money to all of those Tracks he rode for and probably increased attendances at all of them too. Those Tracks reaped the benefits of having Tai riding for them and were, presumably, happy to do so. I owe my first Employer for giving me a job - I don't think so. I worked very hard whilst I was there and they paid me for it. Much the same as Tai really................ 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted April 29, 2015 To be honest, I don't care if he does or he doesn't. I've been to sixteen meetings already this season and haven't thought about him once. The sport will carry on in this country regardless of him ever riding here again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted April 29, 2015 I don't quite feel like that cityrebel I'm just very disappointed with his decision to not race here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
