how about you answer in reply to what me and Bwitcher are asking??? Im telling you i know that back in the day riders got exactly the same money. The reason i know this is because of Mark Loram. If it has changedthen please provide the evidence and cut the crap that because your a failed rider you know!! i love it mate. His experiance in the sport is enough to tell us that we are all wrong!!!

I havent seen the odds and cant check skybet on my work pc but from what ive been told these are the 4 prices for these riders. Howarth 10/1 Auty 12/1 Garrity 16/1 Stead 25/1 Surely those odds are upside down??? Garrity and Stead better riders then Howarth and Auty, whoever compiled those odds cant know much about the sport!

Its likely that they may have offered Tai more money to ride once he had made his intention not to ride. However its not money that is stopping him from riding Mate BWitcher knows far more than you about this like we all do. Ask Mark Loram what the riders get for the British Final because i can tell you 100% that back when he was riding there was no contract to do the meeting plus ALL riders were on the same money, thats ALL riders! And if we are assessing stupidity you rank very high on that list He cant and wont provide anything As far as Tai is concerned he is a closed book. He throws in accusations and even brings Rob Woffinden into discussions to try and validate things. Dont waste your breath with individuals like him Yes they would get the same money to ride in the event its always been the same. But yes there may be some corporate money going towards Tai to promote it which other riders wouldnt get because they wouldnt have been asked! Ah because you tried and failed to become a rider makes you more knowledgeable does it?? Ive been involved in speedway for 40 years including having very close links to the Loram family so im pretty damn sure i know as much if not more than you how it works

Title is Pooles to lose as it was right from the off. When you can have the likes of Kurtz, or Pedersen at reserve then you shouldnt really be worrying to much about the other sides

i get the reasons as to why but it could lead to fixture chaos later on if the weather intervenes!

Yes they do which is why their equipment is all there Yes they have equipment in Poland for that very reason You know by now he makes things up and just finds any angle to have a pop at Tai

Seem to remember Risager being dropped for last season!! He has been solid this season and there cant be to many better second strings in the league yet some want him dropped!!!

Very strange decision Well lets hope when Poole start up again there are no rain offs and they risk missing the cut off to get matches in!

dear oh dear people He has to ride for his Polish club its a contractual agreement he has no choice If you care to take 5 minute to read the responses of the other riders, Pedersen , Hancock, Iversen to name 3, then you would realise ALL the riders are up in arms about this and moaning about it. The reason they are all moaning??? THEY ARE CONTRACTED TO RIDE!!!!!!!! Tai missing the British Final because of his diary around it is perfectly understandable to those people who actually know the reasons. Or are you fools suggesting he drops the Cardiff GP??? No of course not. He isnt contracted to do the British Final and was never going to with all the GP's around the dates. Now people look at his diary around the GP and jump all over it when it is so completely different!!! Obviously people who have no idea how the sport is run, or simply Tai haters How you keep banging on and Tai bashing is even more laughable

i think I speak for everyone on the forum when I call you a total t0sser. Do us all a favour and eff off complete waste of space on this forum. You want Josh Bates in the World Cup side instead of Tai???? You total b3ll3nd

fool The Danish Final was a stepping stone to the World Crown, the British Final now isnt Also the Danish Final wasnt arranged at the time of a GP and neither did Olsen ride in as many countries as Tai So to compare the two is utterly foolish but then again i expect nothing less from you Hope to see you at Cardiff, i will be the one waving the Union Jack cheering on our 2x World Champ. Im sure you will be doing the same And yes Olsen is a legend but then so will Tai be when he wins his third one!

I called a group of people pathetic if their reasons for not supporting Tai is because he isnt riding in the british final or think he is an aussie If you think thats name calling or take offence then i think you are perhaps being a tad precious

Who has? I think it is pathetic that people dont support Tai because he doesnt ride over here and for the most absurd reasons feel he isnt even British

spot on again Im a Brit end of story and yes none of the riders for my club will make the gp's but i was behind EVERY brit as i say even Havvy who i used to boo regularly. Im a West Ham fan but if England played France i would hope Payet has a shocker rather then bending the ball in from 25 yards like usual! Just a question who would fans support in a run off for the World Title ( Holder v Tai Iversen v Tai Doyle v Tai Zagar v Tai I would think people who support the clubs of the non brits would still want to see Tai win

You want Risager out rather than Kerr? Im sure you are the only fan with that opinion. Risager is the ONLY witch this season to have done his job I agree with the reserves. You need the odd occasion when your reserves get 10 or more between them. Cant see that happening with our 2 ever

and if the Danish final was right by a gp weekend or the Danish qualifier was then would they all have ridden??? so your point is totally irrelevent I get a feeling your wrong. Ive cheered for Rickardsson and Gollob when they raced in the gp but not in a race when a Brit was in it. I didnt have time for Havvy really but i cheered him on against Rickardsson because im British. 95% of the Brits in the crowd will want Tai to win , its the very very small minority that will not want him to win spot on post. shame there is a few pathetic few on here

People who think that Barker doesnt improve the Witches obviously dont know to much about the sport. In 13 meetings this season Kerr has hit double figures twice and both of those early on. His form has been poor usually getting between 5-7 points a meeting even from second string. Barker riding as heat leader will be good for 8+ most meetings which moves Risager to second string getting the same and 16 points minimum most meetings from those 2 will be an improvement

Am i missing something or has Barker left Glasgow? Hope we have someone lined up immediately or its a waste of time letting Lewis go. After the injuries he has suffered i hope he gets fixed up somewhere pretty soon

i was responding to Skidder who is a poole fan so don't get your knickers in a twist for what it's worth Tsunami isn't all bad. Robert72 I have nothing to say

Can't understand why the league fixtures aren't every week for every team. It's happening at my club Ipswich far to much this season having 2 or 3 Thursday's without a meeting then running one on a Saturday!! In June and July ALL clubs should have a home meeting every week as the weather should be ok most weeks. Lack of meetings in the summer months leaves a fixture jam at the end of the season with clubs struggling to fulfil fixtures before the cut off. Happens every season yet still clubs have weeks without a home meeting!!!

he top scored for Wolves because even though the track wasn't good he got on with it unlike a certain Poole rider who currently leads the world championship!

i applaud you for not mentioning Tai! What the hell had me riding at Lakeside got to do with anything!!! I mentioned how I enjoyed watching quality riders adapt!! Darcy Ward loved Lakeside you could hardly call him a trick track expert!!! Riders have to learn to adapt some are beaten before they even start. Wolves is a hard place to master and Lindgren hated it at first but knuckled down and showed he could master it. I'm really unsure of the point your trying to make

yep! As I said would be nice if other people showed humility at times but never going to happen

its all about skill and throttle control. Like to see riders able to adapt and others who just give up because they lack the skill. Nothing more exciting than watching Mark Loram flying round Lynn or Bradford but for me far more skill involved when he used to ride at Lakeside and Eastbourne and he was superb on these smaller tracks. All in the mind in my opinion

I'm a grown up I can admit when I'm wrong in here unlike a few others
