no the track at Poole is usually so good I'm shocked!

are you for real?? Don't start a fight with me again??? Sorry are you in charge here then??? I will do and say as I please on here and I will tell you that your a fool if I believe what you are writing is daft. Same as you trolled on here before to get a reaction and you still do it.

He has annoyed a FEW fans not the majority not by a long chalk yet quite simply you like to have a pop when not knowing the facts. His actions HAVE NOT split support. There will be a few fools like yourself who may feel the need to boo him but the vast majority will be cheering him on as a BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION - BORN TO BRITISH PARENT - WHO HAD NO CHOICE WHERE HE GREW UP - AND WILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR AUSTRALIA! Not sure if i can actually spell that out any clearer. Oh and you also mention that this thread clearly shows the split!!!! Well just for your information when i posted that the people slagging off Tai are pathetic i got 23 LIKES , yes 23 , not 3 or 4 that the posts of the Tai haters get 23 incase you misread what i wrote. That hardly shows a divided thread really. And look at the Tai haters on here, yourself, speedibee, Robert72. Not exactly a line up of people that hold any credibility as a decent poster on here. And yes the odd Poole fan backing you up. Seems there is still that bee in the bonnet of Poole fans that Tai was actually a better, and far more consistent rider than Darcy, and likely to keep adding world crowns. Some Poole fans hated that fact. Sadly the tragedy that happened means we will never know if Darcy would have been as good as Tai

you really are quite a tiresome loathsome individual. your agenda on every thread leads back to Tai and quite frankly we are all a bit bored of you now pal. If you had half a brain cell you would understand the reasons why Tai isnt riding the British Final yet you choose to ignore or in your case lack the intellect to have any sort of reasonable debate.

Your entitled to your opinion but im english and my country comes before any club allegiance. I may not have liked Havelock that much but im glad he won the world crown. I dont understand that in a Gp if there was a race between Holder , Ward , Janowski and Harris that an English person would want Harris to come last because the other 3 riders rode for their Poole club. That to me is just strange. By all means cheer for Holder in a race of no Brits but when he is up against Harris you must want the Brit surely?? Would you still cheer for Holder if say he moved to another Elite league club? If the answer is no then you put your club before country and i have no idea why people do it. For my sins im a West Ham fan and do i want Dimitri Payet to score for France if we play him??? No i want him to be sent off if anything!

strange attitude to have. You dont have to like someone but its a bit strange you cant support your own country in an international event. I never really liked Havelock but i sure as hell cheered him on when he won his world title or raced for team GB. How anyone can cheer for say Holder or Janowski when they race against Woffinden is beyond me. Not many football fans outside Manchester United like Rooney but when he plays for England we all cheer if he scores. yeah well donr mate resorting to abuse. you know absolutly nothing about the sport or you would know the real reasons why he isnt riding in the British Final instead of just being a lemming. Name me one rider in the last 5 years that has put as much into British Speedway than Woffinden?? Scott Nicholls lol. People who resort to abuse and name calling have lost the argument already. You want an argument pal im here

Well done everyone! We get a British World Champion and we get told to boo him because ( and delete which you want) he isnt British / doesnt ride in the UK / doesnt ride in the British Final. What a sad pathetic bunch you all are

Should be a 6 point Premier league rider............................we know it wont be!

Well I guess you know how hollow victorys feel. Eastbourne and Belle Vue away spring easily to my mind

pathetic that you put a cheap shot in on every post. do us all a favour and stop all the Tai bashing its quite boring and tiresome

He enjoyed his time at number one but did feel more pressure mainly in league racing as he had a target on his back and never really like the Peterborough track as in his own words you didnt need to be skillful to ride it just pop out the start and have fast bikes, where Mark relied on his ability rather than his gating prowess, watch him in his Eastbourne or Lakeside days shows you how much natural talent he had In the GP's he was always on the back foot after a dismal 2 races and out in Berlin on a very tricky wet track where passing was very difficult. After that he went to Cardiff and had that nasty crash before in his final eliminator doing a rodeo down the back straight and even then almost catching Walasek. This was the days of 6 rounds and after that he was well off the pace

i remember that well and Mark wasnt excluded, However there was a lot of discussion before the re- run as Tony , quite rightly, wasnt at fault. Mark just sat on his bike shrugging his shoulders not getting involved. There was talk of the exclusion being reversed and if im right both Crump and Adams complained that you couldnt do that as the decision was already made. Crump i believe then won the final. It was possibly that decision along with the one with Stefan Danno (vojens?) that cost Tony the title that year

i knew Butler was reserve in 1989 and only got in because of Pedersens injury just couldnt remember what injury

I think (and i may be proved wrong) that Troy Butler only got in to the final because Jan O' Pedersen broke his arm or wrist go-karting (i think) and Butler was first reserve. The previous year Butler had won the what was National League riders championship beaten Mark Loram into second. Mark then won it in 1989 and we told him he had to make the world final the next year to emulate Butler lol

you mean by booking a has been in Fisher who simply is good at Berwick and pretty poor everywhere else

Its still down to ability and yes making the right decisions when in the pack. One of if not the best racer we have ever seen in Mark Loram rarely if ever was involved in accidents or took anyone off by charging through at the wrong time. No one better than Mark in getting their wheels in line. Then you look at Darcy, young and talented but often put himself in the wrong place and had many falls. Sadly we will never get to see if he could have changed

bit of an over reaction The elite league is the highest league yes but it isnt exactly elite riders anymore which is what was trying to be said. Its like the premiership. Say all the world stars left our big clubs, it would still be the top league in english football just not as good as it once was. Nothing wrong with the second tier of speedway, great racing , no politics, and a much closer league with more teams

Thank you. i wasnt trying to be anti-poole just certain fans cant afford to go every week and im sure they will pick and choose their meetings. I spend around £60 when i attend Ipswich and i dont have the time to always go or use that money when i have children. Therefore i look at the fixtures and see who i would rather watch. All im saying is that if Poole streamroller teams then those fans who just about afford to go every week might turn round and say 'its only Leicester this week , we wil thrash them so im saving my money' It has nothing to do about 'real fans' its to do in my case about more important things to use my money on

dont be so daft. Poole will either hit or be very close to 60 in this meeting........yawn

Everybody beats Lindgren lol get a grip mate he top scored last night. Still a class act, not as good as he once was but a weapon riding at number 4 for any side

blinkered attitude. People more than ever pick and choose their meetings these days. I can't get to my club every week due to family and work so I pick the meetings I go to. For example I won't go and see Ipswich v Redcar but will when we face Glasgow. Back in 1998 we steamrollered everyone and myself and many others I know chose what meetings we went to. What's the point in spending nigh on £60 including fuel to watch boring racing with one team thrashing the other. Poole get big crowds when they win as we all know when they struggled the fans disappeared. If Poole keep winning by big margins it doesn't help the sport as a whole to have a dominant team. Anyway I have 3/1 on Belle Vue and I'm happy enough with their two away wins so far

you don't like to harp on but you pop up the next day harping on. Priceless

in the words of Michael Winner..........calm down dear

spot on. its the sheer blinkered attitude of some (not all) Poole fans that when their club is criticised their first response is to attack whoever said it rather than actually look at the situation. To have an opinion different to others isnt wrong, to blindly defend every single thing and resort to abuse just shows some people in a bad light. Red Panda dont become another Starman with juvenile comments, dumb posts and abuse when challenged, im sure your better than that.

wow you having a meltdown there arent you. A lot of Belle Vue fans on here were quite rightly ashamed of the water pipe fiasco and quite rightly feel a bit ashamed over the current situation, the difference is they admit to it and happily talk about it. You are talking about one maybe two issues. Go through the list of things that Poole have been involved in and then you will see why Poole get slated its not rocket science now. It is acceptable to ask about a current situation re Belle Vue and its farcical and yes a bit naughty but in my eyes doesnt compare to what Ford has done time and again over the years. Please read back over the thread and there is a complete list if you need to check. Oh and yes there are some complete ass**les on here. They are the ones who have a complete meltdown when told exactly how it is.
