SCB Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Think you willo find it was Darcy Ward that did did the runner not Doyle. He was riding a mini motor bike but he wasn't charged if I remember what I read. No. Back in 2007 Jason Doyle was caught drink driving and tried to get away from the police in Blackpool. It's probably not that. People have to apply for there work permit before the old runs out, if the old one runs out they cant apply for another 12 months.

stevebrum Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Doyle did get done for drink driving over here in about 2007...silly boy tried to run from the police too....That's the only black mark I can think of he may have against him. Must be an Aussie thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potter2310 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 If memory serves, didn't Doyley have an issue with his visa last year?? Maybe left it a bit late and didn't get over here for the start of the (Somerset) fixtures?!! Was 2 seasons ago, i belive that occasion he waited waited and waited to apply for the visa and were he took so long to apply he didn't leave enough time to have the application cleared which ment he missed the beginning part of the season for the Rebels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think you'll find you are wrong! Doyley lost some big sponsors due to his misdemeanour(s) whilst at Poole!! Did Darcy lose some of his sponsors then as well due to his mis-demeanors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think the point is that Darcy has never actually been convicted of a crime. He seems to be Teflon coated where the law is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be Teflon coated where the law is concerned. Didn't he get fined for drugs he had in Australia as that was the reason he bolted on the mini motorbike?. Guess he's just so unlucky to be in the wrong place when these things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Did Darcy lose some of his sponsors then as well due to his mis-demeanors? Nope! Not guilty m'lud!! Its all to do with any (alleged or proven) misdemeanours during the UK speedway season!! Edited January 6, 2014 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan62 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Slightly off topic, but photo's on facebook show that the inner curb is missing from the 1st and 2nd bend. Anyone know if this is linked to changing the track shape or do we have to have different ones in the Elite League? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Interesting! Perhaps the track is getting a little nip and tuck afterall then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yep. Noticed this myself on the pictures. And all the riders there were commenting on how good the track was. So maybe they have done a bit if work on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Swindon and Leicester in tug of war over Morris, with Sheffield also involved - according to today's Sun Sports pages!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is there anymore Swindon assets that Leicester want as they have Mads & Jason already?. Good luck to all 3 though & looking forward to seeing Leicester Robins in 2014 at the Abbey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thought Nick Morris was in the Swindon team. So did the Swindon management fans and speedway world. But I agree with Morris. He's got to do what's best for him. And if that's potentially Leicester and Sheffield then good luck nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right both swindon and king's lynn told these 2 respective riders that their services were not required for 2014. MK was particulary gutted and expected to be staying at kl and jd was also rather surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Kings Lynn let him go Swindon had moved in another direction. Still doesn't matter does it, signed up or not, everyone is fair game by the looks of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
