Has to be a decision for a promoter/owner to make, after consulting with relevant people and checking compliance with law and regulations. Then it's a question of assessing the potential risk factors and measures taken to help prevent relapse and are they working and sufficient. Personally, I'd draw the line at convicted sex offenders and murderers.

That philosophy hasn't worked for him so far in his life , doubt he will ever change.

The Sprint Race Debate
TINYS replied to False dawn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Should not be a sprint race at all. -
That's defo the way I remember and did it, a wooden peg was always best
-
A clothes peg and some stiff card was the elite option.

I must admit that I'm not convinced about the awarding of WC points as part of qualifying. However, when I read in the Speedway Star this week that it is mathematically possible for the championship to be decided in the afternoon at Torun in front of a few hundred fans, it did give me pause for thought. It might not even be on TV. At the very least I think there should not be a sprint race at the final round. What's the general consensus?

He's done his time and that should be the end of it. Garrity was a talented rider and thrilling to watch. I'd have no problem with him racing for the Foxes. If racing helps him stay on the straight and narrow, everybody benefits.
-
Another blank week for Foxes fans, with no away meetings and no home meeting until next Monday, while Belle Vue and Ipswich have a home and away fixture, Leicester two aways, and King's Lynn and Sheffield a home each.

i think that might only be part of the news, there will surely be something bigger otherwise why would they want fans there

Hard to pick between them at the moment. Both destined for the top of the sport. Cairns more a Robert lambert type of rider while Rushen more a Loram. It’s great to see and both riding for the same team only pushes them on to beat each other and the opposition. Be interesting to see who has the better career. At the moment they are both extremely raw.

Best rider/s for coming from the back.

I am showing my age with this comment but Ronnie Moore in the days of handicap league racing was brilliant. Starting on a 30 yard handicap at Wimbledon he would regularly be in the lead by the end of the first lap. He was also a master of team riding his partner to victory. -
I think I would prefer to keep Allen over Edwards if making a double change. But who's the best 2 pointer available, feel like they'd be signing someone very unlikely to beat any opposition riders. Plus Wright, may not get back to his previous form straight away.? I think an Allen / Lambert or Edwards / Lambert combination would score more than Wright & a 2 pointer.

Someone needs to hang there head in shame,from whoever granted him his lincence to race to whoever booked him,he should be nowhere near this sport !
-
Hancock will always be the exception gate on a fast motor try to stay out of trouble hope for the best ,fair play neither Doyle or Freddie would wish to compete like that .I just genuinely think that they will never win the title and will only get more injuries trying to do so plus time is catching up with them .

Agreed in the early days in my opinion he was better than T Rick and more of a natural on a bike, but Tony had the extra dedication that propelled him to the absolute top level, but those days with Loram and Henka at Lynn were the best times ever in my period following the sport. You also had brilliant entertainment on the second bend with the hard as nails fan Nutter bellowing Richard Knight at 20 thousand decibels on the ride round pre race then disappearing back into the bar for the whole meeting, knocking back 10-15 pints of flat beer and have a look on his face that said I will chin anyone looking in my direction.
