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.
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.
