pugwash Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) But that situation really did once happen in speedway, not with police officers I grant you. Oxford needed a guest for the absent John Davies, he was absent because he had joined Reading, and on this occasion the guest chosen was John Davies, must be the only time a rider has guested for himself. Couldn't happen in any other sport. Edited March 26, 2015 by pugwash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To avoid any gustix-type confusion. Am I right in thinking that 'John Davies' is any relation to the peroxide-coiffed burger merchant John Davis?

Yes quite a close relative, but no relation to Steve Davis, who was no relation to Joe Davis who made mint balls I believe, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only allowed to guest as John Davies and not John Davis due to the 45 day regulation imposed by the FIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remain a little confused as surely one of them was married to that Mrs Boswell from Liverpool but still managed to conduct orchestras in his spare time, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 It seems that Darcy is playing the role of team captain in the pits. He should not have been allowed anywhere near the track and it would also make more sense to keep him out of the pit area. He is not a rider on the team or a machanic. So if anything he should be sitting in the crowd or tucked away in the office with Matt. No doubt he is proving that they can't manage without him as team captain and Majic is just there as a pretender to the role. He must be keeping his feet under the table and getting ready for when he makes his come back. Who will be the poor Bu***r who has to give up his place in the team just to make way for the super hero Golden Boy, who never does any wrong.
