Spot on Steve ..I think nearly everyone see's it that way
-
Freddie did not ride well in two leagues when being World Champion while riding poorly in his own weaker league ..as I said when you come up with something that gets anywhere near what happened with Tai let me know ...but seeing you had about 5 wrong efforts hopes are not high . My theory makes perfect sense a rider who takes to much on then decides not to put much effort into one he cares about the less .what in Tai case was wolves . As I said the elite league has been littered with riders for many reasons decide not to try there hardest . If we took your concept it would mean that all riders try 100 % all the time and as we know that is clearly not the case
-
I am only sure on that 99 % Buzz . What I would do is look out for a fire at the Abbey any time soon .
-
I doubt it will be build but you can't be 100 % sure ..what you could be a 100 % sure about was that a stadium would not be build in 16 weeks in winter even thou last week we had Swindon fans saying that it could happen because TR told them so ..of course once the tills had filled up on sunday for so called goodbye to the abbey we our now told there will no stadium intill at least june and we will most likely start the season at the abbey .
-
Yet again another poor example as sweden is a much stronger league than the uk .try again . by the way you have not prove anything incorrect but please keep trying . Over the years there have been loads of Examples of riders not putting in 100 % effort in the uk I am sure all clubs have had one .. In Woffy case it because quite clear that he choose to put the uk last in 2014 in terms of bikes efforts etc ...I guess if your earning big money elsewhere then it's not going to matter that much, and that is the attitude that Woffy showed
-
They are all poor examples as not one shows a World Champion riding in his homeland in a weaker league riding poorly while being in great form in every other format when you do find me one then let me know. if you can't grasp that simple concept then maybe you should not be debating the subject ....As has been explained to you many times by many people it is of relevance how he has been getting on elsewhere as they are much harder leagues and has also been explained your not likely to be be worried by a format that puts you in against poor sub standard heat leaders when you have beating the likes of Emil ,Nicki etc all over Europe and ever more so when your World Champion .
-
More poor examples ...AJ is from Sweden so expect him to do better in his homeland ...unlike Tai who in his homeland in a much weaker league had a massive drop ..as has been said before when you were beating the top riders all over the world you hardly likely to be worried by a format that makes you take on Batch and Watt on a Monday night on your own track ..so with respect in tai case it makes a massive difference what he was doing elsewhere as most of the Wolves fans on this topic have said .
-
Why ... because there are plenty of mugs about ..you only have to read this topic to find them ..of course if you try to point out that a stadium can't be build in 16 weeks in winter it's classed as being negative and somehow anti Swindon ...even after todays statements still we have people thinking that we get into the new stadium by June etc ...not sure when the penny is going to drop for some .
-
So was he beating the top riders in Poland and Sweden at the same time why getting beat by second strings on his own track ? I don't think he was so as said it's not like Tai at all .
-
Because pk is his mid 40's and was the way down his form this year has shown that ..plus he was not World Champion and beating the words top riders on Sunday and Tuesday while on the Monday getting beat by second strings etc on his own track ....PK is a poor example to compare Tai to . By watching how slow he was ...Do you think he was using the same bikes for the uk as he using in Sweden ,Poland and gp's ? you don't start getting beat by the people and droping his average like he did unless there is something clearly wrong ...I watched him at Swindon going backwards after watching him a gp on some of the quickest bikes I have seen ...if there had been a gp next week at Swindon what bikes do you think he would have used ? Tai choose to carry on using his sub standard bikes in the uk that was clear for all to see .
-
Why would you need a lot of persuading ..the facts were there all to see he was only poor and slow in the uk ...did his injuries only effect in the uk ? did his work load only effect him in the uk ....it was quite clear that the uk and Wolves were his lowest priority ...not sure why people are trying to dress it up otherwise
-
Fair play to terry he sure got the mugs to part with there cash on sunday .goodbye to the abbey lol. Looks like the negitive people were correct .
-
Not sure if you were top of the El why you be top of the much stronger Swedish league ...not sure if he was riding v the same riders Hancock ,Emil ,Gollob ,Nicki etc as they don't ride in the El ....so pretty silly point ....Tai was flying high in the top leagues but in the weakest league his own he was shocking due to his poor bikes and bad attitude

Swindon 2016 - A New Era Starts...we Thought..
orion replied to dump that clutch's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Nothing to with being negative ....anyone with a tad of common sense understand that a stadium can't be build in 16 weeks in winter . People who think it can need to go and see there Doctor . -
Indeed ..what current World Champion has been great elsewhere but is rubbish in his own country the next year ....he beats Emil and Gollob on the sunday in Poland but then somehow he has no confidence come Monday when facing Troy Batchlor etc .. but then come Tuesday he's ok again in Sweden . yea ok .
-
Spot on ...why people have to going about formats and injuries, confidence etc when the fact was nothing was effecting his form in 2014 in Poland and Sweden where the leagues were much tougher ... the bottom line is he put little effort to bring in decent enough equipment and his form showed that ..no matter what he had done before his attitude towards Wolves that year was shocking

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The key is that the kind of people who don't like 20/20 and the kind of people who don't like plays offs etc ..the one thing speedway does not need is idea's like cricket has brought in that brought in massive crowds -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The reason they brought it in was to try to save it as was already a dead duck ..so not the reason your looking for . -

When the indian 20 /20 cricket started the biggest and best league in the whole world with massive crowds and awash with money and sponsors ..not quite as good as the county championship with it's 300 fans per match I grant you -
