Not saying that you are telling stories or not. But I do feel that if your source does not want be revealed then it should not come into the public forum. I have been told things in the past but unless I have been told by a source that I can quote them I have never ever gone on a public forum to reveal what has been said. And of course because I have never met you I will have a tendency to be sceptical as to what you say, as I am sure you would be if the boot was on the other foot.

So because Steve Shovlar tells us it has to be correct. For me the jury is still out and we are none the wiser as to what happened or has happened. Steve says he has it from reliable source but won't reveal his source. That means one of two things. (1) His source has told him in good faith, but does not want to be public associated, in which no matter how much Steve wants or feels that we should be told he should not reveal it on a public forum. (2) He is telling stories. I suppose it depends who or what you want to believe, but for me we still have not got to the bottom of whole episode.

Would be very interesting to find out what social media Promoters use and what they do read. I think that they could learn a lot about what fans have to say by reading forums after all fans are their customers and with any business if you don't listen to your customers your business is less likely to succeed. I have long held believe that clubs should have an elected fans elected representative who could be a go between fans and Promoters and maybe spend sometime at end of season to give their views and ideas when the major decisions are been made.

Strange has anybody noticed that Robert 72 and Vincent Blackshadow aew never on the forum at the same time.

I never mentioned his relationship with the BSPA. I said that he had not claimed any expenses and fund his own World Cup campaign.

How can Tai be expecting top expenses when he is on record and clearly stated that he did not claim expenses. Or is Robert accusing Tai of been a liar?

What over the top expenses. Tai funded his own World Cup campaign. He was paid zero expenses.

Probably giving Poole fans a break from watching their team getting stuff at Swindon.

As far as I am aware no they cannot.

Tough one. But if everyone rides to their abilities then I think that we can overcome the Monarchs.

In 2013 Tai Woffinden gain a GP wildcard. That same year Tai was crowned Champion of the World. Mocked by many that gain entry via the back door, serious misgivings about his credentials and something a 100-1 shot to win the title it is highly unlikely that he was at the time heavily sponsored. So how did the rider come from no where to win his World title, with little backing. What was his winning formula. And to prove a point he won it again two years later, the first British rider to do soin modern speedway history. Surely whether or not you like the guy or not he should be listened to and act as quickly as we possibly can. Further along the line he lead Team GB to a silver medal in the WTC. We have seen in the past others who have walked away from the Team GB not just Tai. The worrying thing as far as I am concerned is if the lack ambition for National team what is next. I can honestly see the amalgamation of the Premier League and Elite League with teams built to Premier League standard, enjoy the likes of Holder, Doyle, Zagar, Iversen and co while you can because I doubt the will be riding in this country soon.

(1) Could well be down to access to the track the stadium is very much used by the greyhound people who own the stadium, part from the evening meetings they also have meetings in the afternoon during the week, this is something that has happened over the last 4 to 5 years. At Scunthorpe they will have 24/7 access. (2) Maybe the clue is in the article, which says stadium owners like the interval later, I would guess that its down to the Stadium owners insist on an interval unless in extreme cases like weather or a rider having an accident. Its far more easy if you own your own stadium than when you are working within what the stadium owners want and will allow you to do. Maybe the answer is that we move to a purpose built stadium and move out of Owlerton, but we all know how difficult that can be. Maybe the answer is that we move out of Owlerton and

And Matt Ford has left Poole to become Wolves Promoter.

For me no rules broken. No Problem. Would Matt Ford in the same situation have done the same for Poole? Of course he would the mans a winner and loves to win. Looks like the Wolves have play a blinder just at the right time.

Would not like to say how this one will go. Somerset for the last couple of seasons have come to Sheffield and turned us over, but I think that we are capable of beating them. But we need everyone has to be at the top of their game and that is something that we have not seen yet this season. Should be a very good close tense meeting.

Was that necessary.

Well Done for spotting the deliberate mistake. Should read Garrity at 5.

If we are going replace one or both of the reserves then it has to be with riders that will do better than what we have already got. And I don't see anyone out there that could do it. I think it is wrong to put all of blame at the reserves, all season the team has been pretty inconsistent. One thing that the Management needs to do is stop tinkering with the riding order. If all of the team are fit qw should stick with. (1) Stead (2) Berge (3) Howarth (4) Bates (5) Howarth (6) Sissis (7) Greaves

Breaking news Jason Garrity returns back into the Sheffield line up after coming through a fitness test.

Apologies misread your post.

You rate Ipswich better than your own team then?

And while is at it we can ask him to do the following; Build a some hostels for the homeless. Donate some more to his local hospital Build some soup kitchens Donate some food to the all the food banks in the UK. Build a track in Poland and start his own team for British riders to join.

I can understand individual rider sponsorship fair enough. But to back a Speedway nation against your own country I find very galling. Its not even as though his club had any connection with any of the Aussie riders.

Alan Hedley Newcastle.

Absolutely spot on. The BSPA now needs to listen to Tai take on board his words and react to them. What we don't need to hear or read is that a Promoter of a British team is sponsoring Team Australia.
