EnglishRoundabout Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I find it incredible that it happens. And although I wasn't at the recent Swindon meeting when these alleged offences took place, if it is true then I have lost yet more respect for the people that have any influence in the sport. I would love to see Ward race in Swindon colours (even if it is for a couple of months) but for goodness sake, let it be done with integrity.

Starman2006 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Will the UK Visa people take into account Darcy's misdemeanours when considering his application? Or don't they come into it? Anyone know the minuatia of Visas? No they won't take it into account. He got a visa before this last episode and that wasn't a problem, so i really don't see why this should be this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, his ban from speedway is not a criminal offence, so once he's sorted out his normal visa issues he should be down the pub with Middlo pretty damn soon.. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 How you have changed your tune. I had you down as a bloke who was more in favour of Swindon over the years. Seem to recall you wishing Swindon well on many occasions. Surely you don't think skullduggery doesn't go on with every club in speedway? ( not that I am supporting this dispicable approach for one minute by the way) Until speedway gets rid of the fact that averages are the integral part of team building and indeed achieving results, this sport will be riddled with misdemeanours. We are Steve Brum's new Poole....funny how having an agenda with any particular poster on here develops into bitterness towards there club...

dump that clutch Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 the funny thing here is that all the people claiming Batch's 3 e/f's are blatant obviously wasn't there. I know looking from the outside in, it does look like we did a 'Poole' ... but if you were there you would have seen that in fact it wasn't as obvious as people are making out. On a track that was so slick, Batch was buzzing round Cook and Masters in one race before pulling up, then to stop racing intentionally coming out the last corner in front with Zagar & Nicholls all over him just doesn't ring right, this is after the race when his engine did go pop... I heard that where I stand by the first corner so with all the alleged shenanigans, for me personally, nothing underhand went on. So don't jump on the bandwagon and slate Swindon for cheating, dropping points on purpose to shoehorn somebody else in the team... let's give Belle Vue some credit here for out trapping our boys an taking the win, which they thoroughly deserved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it from the centre-green and couldn't see much wrong...as usual the whingy whiny armchair/keyboard warriors/winkers always look for the negatives. Belle Vue are an excellent outfit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritPete Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The sensible move would be Ward in,and Kyle out. It would be unfair, but something has to be done, and I rather fancy that Rosco had this sorted out some time ago! I have not heard any speculation about the other incoming rider though.

StarCrazy Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I think it's fairly obvious that Darcy is going to be a Robin. From what Kelvin said on Sky last night, Zengi is going to be the one to go. Shame, I would let Howarth go, don't rate him at all. If he wasn't in the Swindon team, Rossiter wouldn't have had him as Team GB reserve at Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritPete Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 He'll be back,but Ward will not. (Although you never know) It's all speculation anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Did anyone else notice how many times Doyle was out on the track supporting his team mates, when Lambert needed fuel, when Masters fell etc. I don't think I saw Bachelor once out on track helping out other Swindon riders. Doyle seems to have matured into a world class rider and a genuine leader. We should do whatever is necessary to get him back at Swindon next season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
