Wouldn’t touch the lad with a barge pole, but desperate times clearly. Nothing we'll ever have to worry about, always did get a sudden bout of illness when he got north of the M6!

Have to be absolutely crazy to put him anywhere speedway again imo. Although if he does sign for Plymouth when they are at Poole, the Police station is near the entrance to the stadium, so he won't have far to go if he does anything! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedway riders are an eclectic bunch,alleged rapists, drug use,grooming people in glass houses etc,garrity has been inside,hopefully the judicial system works,and he has learnt a lesson and makes the most of having a second chance in life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Steve Worrall, as a speedway rider, would be highly offended to be tarred under the same brush as any of the alleged above. Considering last season when his testimonial meeting was cancelled he collected together all the food he had arranged and donated it to the local homeless shelter. There are many, many wonderful speedway riders out there and I'd love to invite anyone below with similar stories. Let's change the next few pages into something positive and not rats who mug grannies and get a few years with a free bed and breakfast paid by the tax payers, eh? I'd love to know who the nice lads of speedway are. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might get one from NORA, however. Which wouldn't help Plymouth, but thankfully keep him away from our leagues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biffa 84 Posted March 22 While not wanting to see Garrity granted a licence, why would he be defused a licence? Is there a section where convictions etc have to be declared or something like that? Just interested to why a licence can be declined/denied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted March 22 I`m not sure what the fuss is about or the debate, there are no circumstances where I see a team going anywhere near Garrity, licensed or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
