Tom Turner Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 trust me there are 2 groups of Poole fans! I think it's good to see the majority of you realise what Ward has done and don't want him back. I can understand those who want him back because if his ability. What I don't get is those who say he should be back as he has been punished. That's an opinion not anti poole So Darcy Ward should never be allowed to ride again, for anybody? You would like a lifetime ban for him, is that right? I think the "sensible" fans would all agree that was ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "sensible" fans would all agree that was ridiculous. Gavan hasn't said that at all - a lifetime ban that is. He said he can understand why many Poole supporters on here wouldn't want Ward back riding for Poole. Ward needs a ban that will hurt more than his pride. He's obviously not learnt by his mistakes otherwise this last episode wouldn't have happened. Each misdemeanour has been when he has imbibed too much alcohol. All different offences - but with the same root cause... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought I was pretty good at English but must admit I've never heard of that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is an acceptable time to want him back? I personally would love to have Darcy back next year, but then I'm not the sort of person to hold a grudge. I'm sure the majority of Poole fans will want him back and would be over the moon if we were lucky enough to have him again next season.

foreverblue Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Personally I think he will be back next season if and when the ban allows and it wont matter what the fans think, there is only one man that will decide and he loves darcy.

At the end of the day it's Matt's money that is going into the club, so only he can decide what's best. If that means Darcy is back so be it, I like him as a rider he is a good to watch but that's it! Some tough love needed with him I think. Gavan said we shouldn't want him back. So who should want him? Another team? Is it just Poole who shouldn't want him back? When is an acceptable time to want him back?

Would rather have Holder back tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 It's not sensible vs not so sensible at all. I just don't care that much about what Darcy did. He was marginally over the limit, it was wrong, he could of put others at risk, he is paying the price, he hasn't taken a pay cheque in months and hopefully he will have learned his lesson this time. I still think he is one of the very best riders in the world, he's provided me with some of the best races I've ever seen and I'd love to see many more, especially riding for my home team. Darcy knows everybody thinks he's a massive wang, he knows there will be no more chances after this one, so I am confident his lesson has been learned the hard way. Stevebrum, the above comment says it all. Nowhere did I say he should go scottfree. He has been suspensed, not making any earnings. How much more kicking do you do to someone who is down? The example you quote were different circumstances. Where am i saying he should be kicked when he is down?? Please don't make things up. The examples i quoted were different circumstances? Really?? Read the quoted post and tell me what was different. Stefan Danno failed a breath test before a GP in Poland, what is different about those circumstances? http://www.theargus.co.uk/archive/2000/09/25/6790547.Speedway_star_s_breath_test_shock/?ref=arc He was then banned for 8 months, do you expect the ban to be any less? http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Speedway%3A+GP+stunner+for+Danno.-a068355819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 So would I. I'd take Holder over Ward any day.. The first rider however, that I would have on your team sheet, would be Magic. If, of course he's prepared to ride here, now he's in the Gp's full time. But of course, nobody actually knows if Ward will be available to ride next year!

Poole Quay 7 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) I'd take Holder over Ward any day.. The first rider however, that I would have on your team sheet, would be Magic. If, of course he's prepared to ride here, now he's in the Gp's full time. But of course, nobody actually knows if Ward will be available to ride next year! judging by the way MF is talking, it would appear he would like Darcy to return subject to the length of the ban of course. The final decision on the length of the ban will take into account the time he has already spent not riding. People can guess and speculate on the length and apparently, we should know in November. Maybe a year away from riding in the UK would do the lad some good!?.......Time will tell. I will reiterate again I would like Chris back and hopefully in the team building we can also accommodate Magic!

Spot on Jacques, Poole's best rider these last few months has been Magic...(a decent bloke too).. If Poole could get Noddy get back aswell, then Poole would be the team to beat again next year. Surely Poole wouldn't re-invest in the 'car-crash'that is Ward... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "sensible" fans would all agree that was ridiculous. did I actually say that? This is half the issue with a minority of Poole fans reading what is written and twisting it. I said I can 100% understand why Poole fans don't want him next year. If he gets a month ban or 6 month ban is irrelevant I just don't think fans want him back. I never mentioned a lifetime ban or not riding. Just because fe isn't at Poole doesn't stop him riding in Poland or Sweden does it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think he should be banned for 12 months but probably be 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he can be trusted for a full season which he needs to prove next year by keeping his nose clean. Then and only then would i like to see him back at Poole.

justathought Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Darcy Ward will be back at Poole. Do you honestly think they will let him ride for someone else in the uk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Darcy isn't banned he will be back at Poole 100%. I'd happily put money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Darcy Ward will be back at Poole. Do you honestly think they will let him ride for someone else in the uk. I reckon they'd loan him out for a season whilst he cleans himself up. Moreover, I bet he'd happily go to Swindon or KIngs Lynn for a year.

LisaColette Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Darcy Ward will be back at Poole. Do you honestly think they will let him ride for someone else in the uk. Him and Holder have both said in the past that will ride for Poole or not in England at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
