The poor lamb.

Probably the same that Nicki P, Gollob, Hampel (plus any of the top Poles), Hancock, Sajfutdinov, Vaculik plus the scores of others who no longer race here or want to race here. Just at a guess.

Olsen, like Mauger, Briggs were household names. I've been a speedway fan since 1972 and speak to plenty of people about our great sport - not one has ever mentioned Crump, Loram, Havelock as riders they have even heard of. What do you know about the deal that the young riders are on with Bomber - why are they part of his pit crew?? I am good friends with one of the lads so i will be interested to know what facts you want to discuss. Learning about the goings on behind the scenes yes, learning from the best NO. Parents and kids live in a very different world where swearing and smoking when young seems commonplace, likewise tattooing and body modification. Shows how little you really know what kids want or need (I have worked with kids my professional and personal life so have a good understanding of what is considered a 'role model') and most sensible kids know you don't need to copy what others do. But it's a lifestyle choice. Tai's manager Pete Adams already asked the GP riders what would get them back and they all said one night racing - like Tai. Words spoken by Adams so if you choose to not believe then more fool you. It's all just a suggestion that Tai was offered a deal to ride in the UK. Care to show me the OFFICIAL link that confirms this please as ive only seen comments on social media. If you are taking that as fact as a reason to attack Tai then again how silly are you. He absolutely should have been seeded direct to the British Final and should have ridden it. Like Scott Nicholls, Lee Richardson before him have all fallen out with the governing bodies and refused to ride in official meetings. So you say it's nothing to do with the governing body then? ? Hahaha haha haha

I'd ask you to explain which points I'm clueless about but it would be more of the usual garbage and anti tai tirade. You don't like tai, we get it. Just accept others have eyes open and can see a bigger picture than the one you see thru the Woffinden red misted glasses you wear. At least you are giving the forum a chuckle at your ongoing outbursts on the same thing over and over. I will await your considered response to explain which points I have made which are 'crap' with rationale . By the way, saying all of it is crap is an automatic fail. Inspire me. what facts would you like and what facts are you confirming? Priceless

So would I but they won't be this weak again.

Outside of speedway nobody knows who Bomber, Crump, Rickardsson,Adams or Nicki P are So you're point? I take it you have one? ? Bomber has signed 3 young riders to team Harris and he gets cheap labour from them on match days. I'm sure that's a great help. Not. Young riders aspire to be the best, the world champion. They don't aspire to be someone who struggles in the GP's. At least we have a superb role model who would get all the GP boys back in the EL if they listened to his wise words, so it's the governing bodies fault Tai doesn't ride here and shame on them allowing our top flight to be so low down the pecking order in Europe.

Is there a better time for any team to travel to title favourites Poole on Wednesday? Hugely decimated we should be targeting all 4 points and I believe we can do it. Poole with there backs against the walls on this one so we may see a completely different fighting animal to the ones that limped at Monmore on Monday. If we don't win then I can't see any team coming away with anything all season as that is what everyone thought before the season started. The depleted title favourites versus the in form Wolves - surely if can only be one result? 41-51

the same Tai who is running training schools in the UK and trying to drag the BSPA into the real world you mean? Thank god somebody cares about its future and we have Tai to thank for that. Or just shows him up as the arrogant oaf he really is I'd say So you keep saying however his dedication to winning 2 titles in be 3 years , trying to get the BSPA to listen to what ALL the top riders want and need and now also running training schools over here proves you wrong everytime. I don't see Bomber or Scottie doing that. That's what a true Brit does, hopefully he will get honoured at the end of the season as well. if we had more like Tai looking towards the future we might be in a much better place by now. Instead we have Scottie who can't be bothered to ride in the WC but now will make a comeback probably now the WC is in the country. What a hypocrite if he does. If more riders were open like Tai we would have a better WC team by now.

The Aussies do exactly the same in their national title. Do you actually have a point before I lose the will.

I think it's fair too for ALL EDR riders that move up.

With Lakeside losing top spot in the league they need something out this meeting unless they might start slipping away. I reckon the Hammers will take a losing point tho. Unless Swindon have really turned a corner which we have a glimpse in the past couple of matches.

Why does it? Nicki P has or had a house in Stevenage i believe but that made no difference to him racing in the UK. Fail to see the relevance.

They should yes. Tai doesn't ride here so by the same theory he doesn't have to either. Good that we can agree on something.

The expected and predictable retort. Where are all the Aussies for their National title, no show for the Ben fund meeting. Thank god we have such a great role model who is setting up training schools to help the BRITISH youngsters - on top of all his great charity work. All the other top riders could learn a lot from our great talent. One day the BSPA will listen to him and the top boys and change to get them back. No doubt Tai will lead the way with that too.

Oops, I meant to add it was the obvious blue blinded ones and the troll.

They WERE a list of riders that potentially would ride here. Good luck with finding a meaningful list of riders waiting for a call.

No issue to me, you come across far worse so I can live with that. Don't forget to attack our great British world champion again tho to prove my point.

There is a list! If was announced prior to the start of the season. Whether any of them are interested however remains a valid point!

Excellent summary of the current predicament. Whatever changes you make to the 1-5 will always see you having the 2 weakest reserves and reserves help you win regardless what the top 5 do.

Correct, hopefully you give noddy as much stick for not bothering to compete in the Aussie championships. Wonder which country our great World Champion has on his passport. He wouldn't want to ride for Poole with such anti fans.

Quite possibly, I'm sure all the supposed 'nice' riders have off days. Including Woffy which was the point I was trying to make to the Tai troll poster Robert72.

I'm not disputing that, however last year was pretty similar racing wise. It is certainly a question I will ask at the end of season talk in tho! That was correct. Kurtz was comfortably clear when his bike suddenly stopped just coming out the 3rd bend and fell. Max then had the time to catch him. Besides one ride (in heat 12) he was completely out his depth.

Can see a big difference if people are rammed into the home straight (like tonight) at Wolves against a few dotted throughout at Brandon. Interestingly the Bees official line is a big crowd, yet reports on here are poor. Someone is lying.

As someone that publicly states the racing is the most important thing I'd say he has to be aware.

That's good to hear. Guess Briggo is just rude to the average fan. What Hans has achieved was superb , Tai is still achieving and could go down as one of the all time greats in years to come also. What a pleasant guy and role model to youngsters too.
