Hodgy 976 Posted October 19, 2018 Tai Woffinden is the most successful British Individual World Champion. Fact. Impossible to compare different eras. Move on. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve You have to pay for it ...if you don't like or follow a sport anymore and you want to have it on in the background do you really think you would get it for free .

I pay though, for the channels, as football's on. Don't subscribe for the speedway. Yes, some fans are watching as freeloaders while I pay my subs. Works both ways, Steve. Do you pay?

moxey63 1,785 Posted October 19, 2018 If we judge Tai's titles putting him up there as Britain's best. Surely all those tracks and fans from the 70s makes speedway back then better than it is now. Is that right, BWitcher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, the fans and the number of tracks are responsible for riders being better in the old days? Interesting thought... Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve No Steve, not what I’m saying or what I said. Not sure why you thought so. People will have their opinion regarding best ever British rider, based on their experience and very often favouritism. It is impossible to compare Tai to other riders from yesteryear. However, I can’t think of a better British rider during my era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
