New info came to light over the 'mitigating circumstances' we are commenting on that so i cant see how its repeating other posts.

so as we all knew it wasn't a reason for as professional sportsman to get drunk before riding. Surely Middlo can't back up his mitigating circumstances comment now. If Darcy feels the need to get drunk over his parents break up then perhaps he should have asked Tai or Emil how they coped with a dying parent. It can be dressed up any which way but the fact remains that Ward messed up big time no excuses

We know that jesus christ man change the record. Everyone including Poole fans are telling you to stop typing. If someone gets stopped for drink driving does it matter how much over the limit they are? Tiny bit over is just a fine in your eyes. Please dont comment about this issuee when quite clearly you are deluded

why are you not getting this!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT DRINK ANYTHING THE NIGHT BERFORE YOU ARE DUE TO RIDE A SPEEDWAY BIKE!!!!! OVER THE LIMIT IS OVER THE LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is you are correct. So with drink drivers that are over the limit we dont do anything because they werent falling over drunk!! You are quite clearly either thick or trolling

totally irrelevent come on man get in the real world

you need to give up now mate. so get pissed but if you can stand up and cock a leg over a bike then give it a go! your argument is so flawed its unreal

seriously please look at what you are writing before posting. Danno 8 month ban for being the same amount over the limit as Ward. If he doesnt get 8 months then there is skullduggery going on. I agree more than 8 months might be excessive but to just fine him would probably make a lot of people turn their back on the sport altogether. Of course celebs do drugs. Ive no doubt that footballers and maybe some riders do as well. Celebs and football players get pissed as well. Darcy Ward can drink as much as he wants when he hasnt got to race. A celeb or footballer can drink as much as they like when they dont have to perform. The fact is when you have a professional job to do you should not be under the influence its not even an opinion. Darcy wasnt and deserves to be banned. Didnt Rio Ferdinand get an 8 month ban for missing a test? Wasnt even found to be on anything yet still got banned so your arguments dont really hold up. If a footballer was breath tested before a game do you not think they would get banned if over the limit? Jockeys get banned for being drunk before a meeting and not allowed to ride. I suggest before you post comments do a bit of research

No he doesnt deserve a 2 year ban who has said that? He deserves an 8 month ban same as Danno had. A fine would be of no use what so ever and probably paid for by the Poole promotion anyway. Or probably the ' Darcy can do no wrong' club will have a collection in the interval at a meeting lol

well said mate. Was sort of hoping the Poole promotion would take some sort of stance but as if they would

How is it good news? Dont get your thinking at all! Rider fails an alcohol test but because he is a world class rider he should be alowed to race? Dont get your logic

Has nothing to do with it. Wether you are a big name gp star or a run of the mill national league rider the rules are the same. I love to watch Darcy ride but its the wrong message if he doesnt get a ban

why is it anti poole? a rider fails a breath test and is in line for a ban. His club/s should in some way be seen to not condone this. That is all that is being said. The anti Poole thing is against the fans that still treat him like a hero

hard sometimes dirty yes professional with his routine .............totally Ward isnt fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as Nicki with regards to attitude

spot on. You would think the promotion at Poole would have some form of morals and not allow Darcy to ride. Oh hang on this is Poole where the world is different. Bet the Poole fans will cheer and applaud him and greet him like some sort of hero. Then we have to listen to them tomorrow when they tell us Darcy got on the mike and apologised so all is ok. Disgraceful attitude

its comments like yours that give Poole fans a bad name. One of your riders has failed an alcohol test or have you missed that!

because he moaned about it like a big jessie. Christ even laid it down like a novice early on. Steve Worrall moaned about the track but said its the same for everyone. Dakota North, Simon Gustafsson all said track was poor but at least tried. Bit more effort from a Grand Prix star and Swindon may have got something

Nicki Pedersen is a hard bordering on dirty rider. Nicki Pedersen is also professional in his attitude to his fitness regime and attitude to the sport Darcy Ward isnt and will never achieve close to what Pedersen has done in the sport wil he continues to behave like a lout out of control of his personal life

Because back then riders rode on all tracks not just slick smooth ones. Im an Ipswich fan and Chris was very much a white line merchant who didnt always like it rutty but ive seen him win a British Final on a very wet track and his run off with Loram showed he could ride. To many riders today not prepared to risk themselves like they used to. Batchelor being one

Darcy Ward should get a same 8 month ban as Danno its simple. Danno was apparantly blotto but it doesnt matter how much over you are - you are still over. Darcys ' other ' indescretions should have no bearing on the outcome here. This is purely about the alcohol incident. Personally anything more than 8 months i feel would be harsh. Anything less than 8 months is a cowardly way out just because of who he is. Pathetically still nothing from the mouths of the Poole promotion or on the Poole website.

Just read that Darcy feels HE DOESNT DESERVE A BAN OR FINE!!! Is he for real? People around him are letting him down big time. he realy is clueless as an individual that much is clear so those advising him must be the same to let him come out with that statement

Ive just read that Darcy feels he doesnt deserve a ban or fine!!!!!!!!!! Who is advising him? He clearly has no remorse what so ever! Absolute joke.

Absolutly. Only interested in Poole Speedway not British Speedway

Think the biggest farce was Troy Batchelor. Disgraceful attitude. Made worse by laying the bike down for no reason gifting the other side a 5-0. Track wasnt good but some of his team mates showed him how to give it a go

i take it back apologies crap! i comment on a lot of topics on a lot of differen part of the forum. name me one club that has caused more controversy than Poole in the last 5 years? name me one rider that has caused more controversy than Ward in the last 3 years? i comment on the Poole thread because 9 times out of 10 thats where the main debates are. The fact its a Poole rider in trouble means im going to comment on here, same as if it was Iversen i would be on the Lynn thread

doesnt make a difference at all. your over the limit your over the limit end of. he shouldnt have had a drink saturday night wether it was 5 pints or 10.
