While some may feel Garrity had paid his debt to society, I wouldn't want him at my track if I was a promoter & I wouldn't attend a meeting in which he was riding.

I certainly wouldn’t either. Damn thug.

So, a pretty impressive performance from Garrity on a track that's tricky and not as well prepared as it used to be when he rode last.

Won the pairs meeting with Will Boraston, scoring 14 out of 15 and only dropping 1 point to Alfie Bowtell.

Is he NDL eligible?  Where would he fit in the Buxton team?  Can they get him in for the next meeting?

Would imagine a few Championship promoters will be interested if he rides like that on his first meeting back

Boooooooo Garrity!!

Booooooooo!!!!

Good luck to the lad....

He effed up, big style, when addicted to drugs...

He might end up effing up again...

But, at least, he is giving it a go...

I shall pick you up on 2 points. The track has changed for the better ,to be used by the modern High reving rocket ships of today. Its smooth and has less deep dirt which modern machines thrive on unlike the old days.

2, i believe his average even with reductions would be too high for ndl.

Are you saying that someone who has committed a crime isn't allowed to earn a living once released or that its just speedway because you used to watch it. The crime itself doesn't matter but should the person not be allowed to sort out their own life .

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.    Not one that many share though!

Didn't he start speedway in the first place in an attempt to put his criminal life behind him?

Personally I'm very conflicted by Garrity being there. 

I'm an avid supporter of the club (I designed their bulls logo) and I'm over the moon that they're back as they're now my local track - I was there Saturday for the FGA meeting (great day, sunburnt to hell) but having an ex-convict ride there with the crimes he committed doesn't sit well with me. I'd have a stronger opinion if he was handed a team place - hopefully this is just a one off.

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 !

[paulnolan]

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.

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

[Hamish McRaker]

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.

Unfortunately the majority on here would bring back hanging to stop murderers re offending.

Except it didn't, he came into Speedway with Chris Morton and David Gordon taking him as a Belle Vue "Trainee" which kept him out of custody at that time. The probation service stayed close and he got off to a great start in the sport only to be poached away from his mentors and then slipped back into his old ways until it all caught up with him. He's bitten plenty of people along the way, mixes with the wrong folk in the wrong places which is why his early release failed and he was recalled. He is a very likeable lad though.
