Oddly enough Starman I am not remotely interested as to whether Poole do well this Season or not - I really couldn't care less. I DO though, care about our Sport's image. Allowing Ward to "Get Off' (Ford/Middleditch) without some sort of proper punishment would be a terrible message to send to to the Sport itself AND the Public at large.
I do not want him hung - but I do think that an example should be made of him to act as a deterrent to others.
There is a lot more at stake here than Poole Speedway - the way Speedway is perceived by the General Public is important too. We are trying to encourage new people to come and see our Sport and really we should be seen as coming down hard on Drug/Alcohol abuse.
