    Its not all bad news - last night, at the same time that England were going out of the WC, Tai Woffinden won The Speedway Grand Prix Series for 2015 for England.

    Lets not talk about the fact that he was brought up in Oz since 4 years old and has a broad Oz accent.

    Or that 7 people actually give a s*** about it. :wink:
    Yeah, prob true.
    However, 70,000 people were at the British GP this year at Millenium Stadium- so, not too shabby- just proves that we British public are real Sports fans/supporters - therein maybe that lies the problem.
    Speedway is one of those sports that is totally ignored by mainstream media, yet has a large fanbase and attracts big crowds. I keep meaning to go and watch a,.at h but never get round to it.
    I do wonder what speedway fans make of the exposure of woman's football.
    Women's football ?

    The sport where we got to the semi finals of WC after showing bottle and team spirit.

    Wrong target.

    Well done to them. I believe tai wofeden has won the world title by also showing bottle, determination and courage.

    Maybe its a motorbike thing. Only those that watch it are interested in the sport.

    You never see motorbikes advertised on the telly, but millions ride them and have a deep affection for them.

    I think you will find there are no spreedway fans on here - however, there are many speedway fans.

    Yes, tears of joy on Tais face when Greg rolled in last to give him the title.
    SPOTY ? - after all, who else is there?

    It's a sport where who ever get round the 1st bend in front wins 9 times out of ten.
