When Rickardsson and Gollob rode for us at Ipswich i still cheered for Loram and Louis .............Im unfortunately a West Ham fan. If England played Portugal i would not be cheering on Jose Fonte but i would be cheering Harry Kane (who plays for a team i detest). Guess im just patriotic rather then blinded

Never said i was there.....................never said there was dust again or not because i wouldnt know. Just questioning why your views are always different to anyone else who was there

You think that people that go Cardiff are not speedway fans??? I dont go to a sporting event i dont have an interest in. Hate Rugby and Cricket and funnily enough never been. Ok narrow it down to 25000 speedway fans then.................still know who will get the biggest cheer. Do you think that all fans go every week? I go to Ipswich 5 or 6 times a season. I would suggest many other fans do the same. People dont have the time or the finances or even the desire to go every week. when i was younger it was Ipswich Thursday, Hackney Friday, Arena Saturday and Rye House Sunday. Im married with a family i dont go so much now. But i go to Cardiff (apart from 3 times). Im pretty sure a lot of fans are the same. Facts are facts........ Tai is British and a 2x World Champion and people abuse him because he doesnt race here and doesnt agree with the BSPA. Crazy Can you please give a valued response as to why you think he should race here? And saying ' Because he is British' isnt a good enough response And do you honestly think him not racing here is affecting British speedway?

Are real speedway fans that worried that he isnt riding here?? Im certainly not and ive no idea why others are. Im proud of being British and myself along with 30000 others will show you how proud when Tai is announced at Cardiff

Do you act thick on purpose or you just playing a game with everyone??

your opinion is rubbish of course. Cant change facts. Born in England to English parents......................so enlighten me how he is an Aussie im fascinated

You need to read my posts carefully bless you. I wasnt there i cant give a valid comment. All i was saying is that yet again Poole fans disagree in the majority with Shovlar as per usual. Forget the fact you call me anti-Poole , im talking about your own fans calling him out I praise Poole and their riders just as much as i slag off Matt Ford and the chuckle brothers on here. Just made a comment about Shanes on the Poole thread but guess you ignore that. Face facts that 99 times out of 100 Shovlar will post a polar opposite opinion to every other Poole fan..............apart from Starman...........tells you all you need to know

Seems harsh on Shanes who is coming along in great strides that some Poole fans want him to leave. Saw Shanes ride for Somerset at Ipswich last season and he struggled to gate and mainly overrode the bike and made mistakes. Saw him ride for us the other week at Ipswich and it was a different rider completely so he is coming on in leaps and bounds riding for Poole. Why would you get rid of a young Brit??

Surely its better to have an article in the paper then to not have one at all? And yes why wouldnt they be interested in going to their local track and watching speedway?? Why would they expect a top world rider to be at their local track? Lets be fair they would only see the worlds best if they went to Swindon and Wolves so why would they assume the world best would ride here? Im disappointed in Tai with the way he looks. Think he looks daft with the tattoos and piercings. Am i disappointed he doesnt ride over here or for Team GB? Hell no. I want him to do whats right for him and his career. I want the Brit to be World Champion. As ive said watch the Mark Loram DVD, he explains very very clearly the problems with the BSPA and the way the sport is run and the lack of help for any youngsters coming through. No wonder Tai cant be bothered in the same way Nicholls and Richardson did before him (interesting footnote on Richardson on the Loram DVD!)

As i said just seems to be the usual 2 that see things different all the time..............who could that be lol. Sorry for all you decent speedway fans who support Poole that they have a go at if you disagree with them. Personally i call it being unbiased

Think we will edge this one but Howarth will be a thorn in our side and it is good to see him kick on this year. Branford at reserve will prove a handful but Bjerre is a big loss, cant see Josh going as poor as he did last time. Could be very close

Shows how much you know then. I have regularly disagreed with chris4gillian yet you choose to ignore that, cant think why!! You talk about lapdogs...........................your post was liked by Starman theres a shock

Mark Loram was very well supported, quite possibly along with PC the most popular British World Champion Never said Tai was as well supported as those two. Fact is Tai is far more popular than Havelock ever was and possibly more than Lee Tai is doing no damage to British Speedway if you think he is your are somewhat deluded. If you think the damage he is doing is because he doesnt ride here your so far off the mark its laughable. My newspaper had a column on him on Saturday and then again on Sunday. I wonder how many people read the Saturday column, decide to tune in to support a Brit and saw him do well and saw possibly one of the best gp's we have seen in ages??? Hell you never know it might have created a few new fans who might then check to see where their local track is and pop along, so all in all good for British Speedway. The damage to British Speedway was happening long before Tai stopped riding here, only a blinkered Tai hater would lay the blame at his door

what a sad and pathetic attitude to have. No way back from what??? The fact he doesnt ride in our league??? Stupid argument No rider will ever have 100% support. Lets be fair more people disliked Havvy and a number booed Lee as well. And let me reword your last sentence A REAL PITY THAT A FEW PEOPLE ON A SPEEDWAY FORUM NO LONGER CHEER HIM ON.

Wasting your breath mate , Shovlar is always right even when proved wrong! A few keyboard warriors (and lets be fair the vast majority of them on here dont exactly appear the sharpest tools) dont tell the whole truth. Biggest cheer at Cardiff will be for Tai..................Shovlar, Orion , Speedibee and Robert72 slowly rocking in the corner lol

Obviously i wasnt at Poole .....................but its always the same person (Shovlar) saying something completely different to any other fan. Then along comes his lapdog (Starman) to try and back him up. Do Poole fans honestly take these 2 guys seriously?? I do love the (totally biased) match reports.................loved the fact that after the Swindon match he apparently wrote a report but he deleted it by accident lol

Please explain why you think he should come back and ride in the British League?? If your answer is ' because he is British' then that just shows your lack of understanding

spat his dummy out!! Give it a rest your brain must be hurting! He rides where he thinks it is best for him to be able to try and win the world title and that means not riding here. He didn't crawl back , he came back to do extra meetings to keep himself sharp. You are so anti Tai that you totally forget the facts and make yourself look stupid you really are the gift that keeps giving. Was watching the Mark Loram DVD try having a look and hear Marks views on the BSPA and what they do for youngsters and why he isn't involved

You sad little man You are so deluded in your opinion its unreal All true brits will cheer him on. just 1 or 2 keyboard warriors who wont. At grass roots club level he has loads of support, its just the odd few oddballs like yourself who dont He isnt the most unpopular World Champion we have ever had. I would say that was Havelock.........didnt he get banned for something once?? Oh sorry he rode for Poole!!!!! What about Michael Lee? Wouldnt say he was exactly Mr Clean either. Who are you cheering for in the GP? Holder, Hancock, Lindback, Magic, Doyle?? All ex Poole riders, 2 of whom dont want to ride for Poole and the other 3 dont want to ride over here.................oh same as Tai!!!

what??? a track cant cope with dirt?? Please enlighten me how this is possible. Plus there is somewhere in between no dirt and loads of dirt

Start again and go back and find what i wrote......if you can find where i said i would 'smash his face in' then please show me. I told him that if he told my cousin what he had wrote then he better not come face to face with him. Try reading what i have written. Otherwise your simply just a liar

take your words back I've never threatened to beat anyone up! I got banned last time for using the word troll which I found strange

Couldnt care less who riders ride for hey are either disliked or liked. Lot of time for Holder , far less time for Ward. Never a fan of David Norris even when he rode for us. Didnt dislike Darcy but anyone that does and did the stuff he did will lose a lot of respect from a vast majority of law abiding citizens.

Seriously give it up because you are looking more foolish everytime you post. British wife, Has residency, passport and Acu speedway licence. Please state how Tai has dual nationality

Ex grass trackers dont do well at Speedway? Wigg, Tatum, Doncaster, Cross, Cox, Smith , Schofield, Loram, Screen , Stonehewer just to name some
