He's not really a naughty boy and lots of people like watching him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbold Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 "Everyone looks forward to watching him race and speedway is not the same with out him" I can't say I really noticed his absence in the last five GPs. P.S. If everyone's so confident that Darcy will get off because the F.I.M.'s case won't stand up thanks to an off-duty policeman and wrongly calibrated instruments, what's the point of the petition? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sommelier Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Perhaps I am a bit naive then. I have been fortunate enough to know a few riders to speak to off track, all of whom like a good drink and could easily drink most under the table but all of whom were equally strict that it didnt happen within 48 hours of racing and that they wouldnt want to be out on track with someone who did. I kinda wanted to believe that was a majority feeling but obviously from what you say it cant be Yews I totally agree with your comments, it seems speedway is still very un-professional compared to other motor sports all but a few.

At least the originator is showing some interest in what is happening and trying in their own way to present their feelings on the topic - as "so many experts" on this thread do? Personally, I will not sign the petition but if others feel they should in what is supposed to be a democratic society they should have every right to do so - even if an overall opinion is that the petition could be/it is regarded as misguided?

Please sign this petition so we can continue to watch Darcy race and for his career in speedway. highlighted a couple of things. Darcy Ward hasnt worked hard at all. He has a sublime natural talent on a bike he finds it easy. People like Tai and Nicki have worked hard to add to their talent and if Ward had an ounce of their commitment he could be world champion. As for a massive loss not really. Sure he is good to watch but the gp's without him last season were perfectly good so if he wasnt there it wouldnt stop me watching them. At the end of the day we all want to see Ward back on the track but it needs to be a different Ward , one who wont mess up again, and im afraid the people who crawl to him and call themselves fans by setting up a petition arent really doing him any favours 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why it will when (or if) it is presented to the FIM the merits or otherwise that will see it succeed or fail.

All im saying is the petition means nothing and is very poorly written Oh dear! Several editors will be shocked to read your comment on my English! In what way does the petition mean nothing? It is calling for a rethink in the Darcy Ward affair and for him to be allowed to resume his speedway career. The petition's writing style may not be of 'The Times' standard but it gets across when read carefully the objectives for its presentation!
