stratton 1,491 Posted March 12, 2015 Got an idea...why not all the Darcy Ward supporters and apologists start an on-line petition to get him reinstated, like the one for Jeremy Clarkson? Surely Ward can get more signatures on his petition than Clarkson is doing? What could possibly go wrong? Total rubbish, please Enlighten me?Do you like speedway?.?

But Ward still deserves his punishment and MUST be made to serve his Ban. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,359 Posted March 12, 2015 Yes - for me sidney. But Ward still deserves his punishment and MUST be made to serve his Ban. What planet you on, ? Darcy will serve his ban, there will be no reprieve there will be no reduced sentence, he will be back riding at the end of june. Hope that clears things up..

I agree WK certainly,what do you think a massive fine ? goes to Charity ?he has Ward i believe got away off very lightly.On another subject you never really agreed with the decimation of the one off final like myself , this years GP series is not the top 16 riders in the world it should be but it is not what do you think?

Hope that clears things up.. For what it is worth - he should NOT receive a Wild Card for any of the 2015 GP Series either.

No - you are right, it isn't. However sidney, I honestly do not care enough about the GPs to worry about it. I know what I prefer(red) but you cannot go back unfortunately. Sadly.

If he does get a wild card, then that will be sanctioned by the FIM, But thats down to them, and not anybody on here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,359 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I agree. But it would not be right. Or perhaps you would think differently? So long as he's served his time then yes, if he gets a wild card then so beit. But Darcy knows, if he should put one foot out of place, the FIM will bounce him from one side of the pits to the other.. But i don't think he will be so silly again...

I sincerely hope that you are right, I really do.... Personally I have my doubts. He is undoubtedly a brilliant Rider - but no Rider is bigger than the Sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't agree more, no rider is bigger than the sport, the same as no footballer is bigger than the English game, without naming names... I really do think he's learn't his lesson in a very hard way this time, and i sincerly hope, on his return we see the REAL Darcy Ward on a speedway bike..

Yes Ward is BUT he should have to earn the right to ride in the GP's again not have it handed it to him on a plate with a wild card. I dont believe that he has learnt a thing from this (only have to see his comments on Twitter to see that) so force him to earn something for a change. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh...the lure of the bottle...time will tell. And as the subject of football was raised (and keeping in-theme with the lure of the bottle), was the World Cup any the worse off for never featuring George Best back in the late 60's and early 70's?
