Starman2006 2,354 Posted May 12, 2017 Always found Darcy good as gold in any small dealings I've had with him in the past before and after at Swindon, when he rode against us for Poole I loved nothing better than us to beat him but away from the track no problem at all with him...felt he grew up a lot after his ban I mean yes he still may say the odd thing that irks some but he's not alone, Tai s similar in some respects but quite different in others but both are fascinating individuals. I tend to find some of the more experienced gp guys a bit hot and cold particularly Holder very hard to fathom out some times have had good experiences regarding him (no wise cracks) and a couple off tetchy ones, best to just leave alone there probably lol As for you bottom two sentances. They do not want to get involved with fans. They tend to stick with there own. As i said, Darcy had his moments, but he was also a very nice lad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,634 Posted May 12, 2017 Just going back to any potential changes in Poole's line-up, as far as Shanes is concerned lets not forget that each team has to retain at least 2 British riders that rode or are qualified to ride in the NL!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottyfan 824 Posted May 12, 2017 So?? Is that really important? Would Woffinden be helping him if he WAS'NT his wife's brother?? I don't think so!! If it was, let's say for example, James 'no relation ' Shanes, Woffinden would be helping him would he?? Of course he wouldn't.....and you know it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was, let's say for example, James 'no relation ' Shanes, Woffinden would be helping him would he?? Of course he wouldn't.....and you know it!! That's cos it's all about Tai! Just going back to any potential changes in Poole's line-up, as far as Shanes is concerned lets not forget that each team has to retain at least 2 British riders that rode or are qualified to ride in the NL!!This has already been discussed, just get Kerr back (unless he's already got a team place.) Although i hope Shanes lasts the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The odd phonecall, text and advice?? Hardly any different. Tai im sure has advised many kids over the years, like I'm sure Darcy has. I really don't see why it's an issue or any different. It's not like he had to drive to Birmingham to help him is it?! Darcy is doing no more than Tai. Helping someone because he wants too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What more can Darcy do ,you do remember he's wheelchair bound, so it can only be a phone call or text Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 13, 2017 What more can Darcy do ,you do remember he's wheelchair bound, so it can only be a phone call or text And what more do you expect Woffinden to do who has a busy career as well. It's just a comparison. It's not meant as anything personal (unlike those who attack Tai despite doing nothing different to what Darcy is doing!). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
