  1. This is a speedway forum ..people are going have opinions about riders that's the whole point ...if don't you enjoy that fair enough but suggest you don't read or go on forums if your going get upset .
  2. You only to look on here to see that opinion is divided about him ..his actions towards uk speedway have no doubt upset quite a lot of the speedway public
  3. Silly post ...righty or wrongly people are allowed an opinion ...when you become a pro sportsman and even more so a high profile one like Tai you going to get stick and praise and people passing judgement on you it's part of the job . if you can't take that they you should quit .. there nothing more childish than people saying why don't you say it to his face etc it only comes second to can you ride a speedway bike ...that is play ground stuff .
  4. Sadly looking at the crowds in the Pl is does look like the public do not feel the same ....as I said many, many times every idea that uk speedway comes up with always means that the crowd will take about drop ..it's been the same mistake they have been doing for the last 20 years . Who are these GP riders who can't be arsed ? what fans at what clubs are moaning about AJ ,Doyle ,Puk ,Fast Fred ,Harris etc about lack of effort ? nothing worst than just saying things like that without little thought
  5. Who said it's for the better ? it's one saying people we need change and another to change to something that is worst ...as I said because of budgets racenights etc it will never work in the uk ...your have teams losing to stay in the same division or lose to drop down one ..in pl football etc the rewards are massive to be there in speedway teams sometimes are better off where they are .
  6. Are they ? that's why they got rid of ko etc as most thought there were two many .
  7. Normal unworkable madness ...where do you start with the million reasons why this could never work . I reckon you would end teams trying to lose on purpose to stay up and go down
  8. And your first thought is was to come on here and read and post about it ...added you own crock ..as people keep telling you if have no interest why read and keep added to it . the most odd mind set ive seen on any subject
  9. Nothing false about calling it the Elite at all ..it's the top division (elite ) in the uk unless you know a league that is stronger . This another one of those odd mind set again that happens speedway when is comes to PL and El ..people for some odd reason have a problem with El name thou quite clearly the Pl name if look at it is far more false .
  10. Not really the height of stupidity is thinking that we should run something on a model like the pl that has clearly not worked ..the snobbery in speedway it's quite odd it tends to be from the pl and nl towards the El in some cases it almost hate and wanting it to fail . What is driving speedway to oblivion is the mindless my league is better than your league mind set and fans not understanding that speedway has problems all round in every league.
  11. We got pl speedway at weekends and the crowds are poor ..so quite clearly that not going to help save British speedway ...just anything else in sport etc the bigger the names the better the crowd .
  12. No fans most of the time ..as had been say we keep what a great product it is but the crowds are dipping below 400 at some tracks ..if don't to el matches how would know if the racing was better ?
  13. Of course it's elite as it has the strongest teams in the uk hence the name ..unless you think there is a stronger league with better teams in the uk of course ...this has been explained a million times . It's always been the most odd thing in Speedway moaning about the name of the El that that quite clearly has logic why it has it's name , but then nothing about the name of the premier what makes no sense.. using your logic what Premier riders in the world ride in the PL ?
  14. The teams in trouble have little to do with the rules or the league etc ...Cov and Swindon are in trouble because there home might be taken from them ..that can't happen to any team in any league ...the lions are just poorly ran and I have no doubt they could do really well with right people running them .
  15. Another poor post on the subject ...yet again with the view that somehow Pl is going well and is some great role model to follow ..as has said a million times teams in the pl find it just as hard to get by ..the crowds are poor and it's all relative to what is paid to riders ..in the last weeks the El and some big crowds and some great racing . Why anyone what's to go by the rules of the league that fans have little interest in watching is madness ....all you are is just another pl fan who wants your league to better than my league and can't wait for the El to go wrong .. Speedway main problem is people coming up with plans to get less people to watch the sport .yours is another . One day people will wake and understand the Pl is not doing well and it's not a good product . but for some reason that can't be explained they buried there heads in the sand and say the only forward is to be like them ..madness
  16. What leics beating Swindon last week you mean ? are you telling me that somehow results in yesteryear were more unprecdictable ? just like always most of the time the home team wins in speedway . Not a fan of some the rules this year but there has been good match after good match this year ..of course that fact or view is not going to be popular as a lot of people for some odd reason just want to be negative all the time and almost hope that every match is poor and the league fails
  17. Sounds like another meeting ..for all the knocking of the el the matches have been very good this year .
  18. That why he spoty last year I guess ...must be lots of strawberry eaters in December
  19. No your memory lets you down Lakeside ran rr for Davidson that night with a doctors note ...what was amazing seeing the info was given out before the weekend is that the same rider rode in Poland on the Sunday ...at no time before the Monday was jd was not a lakeside rider anymore and the rr was used for him ....there was a massive debate about the subject that ran for about 6 or 7 pages on here . Got to be the most funny doctors note of all time ...saying a rider was unfit to ride only for him to ride somewhere else the day before
  20. Surely he has to miss the gp or the Polish matches as Tai given his moral stance about the British Final ....lets wait and see
  21. Why would I get emotional ? I said at the time the meeting was a con and it would not be the last match or the last laps at the abbey ...as I said you need to try harder to get a bite
  22. And Don't forget the JD one before the Lakeside v Swindon one leg semi final play off ...it was given out on the Friday even thou Jd was down to ride in Poland on the sunday what he did before being unfit for the semi final on the Monday ...
