steve roberts Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Killed on the track 1 Derek "Tink" Maynard, Belle Vue rider, killed at Norwich I think in the 60's. A collision with his team mate, sad. 2 I read in the Kenny Carter book there was a rider killed at Ellesmere Port in the early days of KC career, lost control and hit the track tractor - maybe why now tractor/graders go off the track to park. 3 Wasnt there a rider at Poole, just dropped dead when racing, not an racing accident, just something burst inside him causing instant death, they reckoned he was dead before he hit the track. Read it, cant remember name or when. I think that the rider was Stuart Shirley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Craig Featherby at Peterborough 1983. Another very sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 But I guess your remember DW43 but not them This poster is becoming even more sick, now hiding behind riders who were sadly killed to continue his lies and bitter attacks on Tai Woffinden and now Darcy Ward. Ward received support because folk got of their butts and raised money for him, whereas you do nothing but tarnish the memory of riders with your insanity on this forum. You should be utterly ashamed, but of course you won't be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkafag Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Robert72 stinks of MJJ, crass and utterly classless in an attempt to garner any kind of reply possible, but ultimately deserve to be ridiculed for their stupidity. If the idea of this thread was to create interest and see how many replies it could get it has taken a rather grotesque turn for the worst over the course of the last 5 pages or so.

waiheke1 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think that the rider was Stuart Shirley?Stuart Shirley did die at elle a mere port in 1977. Not sure of Kenny carters involvement or if this was mentioned in the kc biography.Chris pride died in 78, in a race kc was involved in, and this definitely is referred to in the kc biography.

chris4gillian Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Why o why are you all still giving the lying coward a thread to post his fantasies on? I stated previously that I wouldn't respond to any of his posts on this thread again (even though he continues to reply to my posts to others) and I stand by that. I also made a mistake in posting that my mother used to babysit for Middlo when he was a child, something which is a fact, but the lying coward has jumped on it and has been trying to (unsuccessfully) ridicule and rile me over it ever since but I just laugh at his efforts to do so. Can I appeal to the adults among us to stop responding to his bull crap so that this thread can be put to bed now that Tai has been rightly named as Team GB captain for next Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read it, cant remember name or when. That was, as others have said, Kevin Holden. As we're naming people who have died, let's not forget Vic Harding too.

You should be utterly ashamed, but of course you won't be. Were you dragged up to be an uneducated idiot or it just happened? Did you know the riders or their families and do you know any rider in a wheelchair ? People have been taken for mugs giving to a rider who can afford a home on the Gold Coast. Let's all Support DW and forget our own Ricky Ashworth and others, after all this country is good at that. Didn't Darcy need a uk holiday home too maybe you and your buddies can chip in towards it.

Star Lady Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 The only excuse that I consider reasonable for the two absences is that todays practice session was arranged at short notice and they had already embarked on other plans. Lambert is reportedly on holiday. No idea about Woffinden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posts like this are the reason people reply, because this utter gibberish doesn’t deserve to go unchallenged and also being utterly obliterated due to the completely insensitive nature of the content. Attempting to portion a form of guilt or even a slight tint of blame at a guy who ended up in a wheelchair over the Ricky Ashworth situation is vile, genuinely disgusting, it shows a complete lack of sensitivity or understanding towards both situations and the good work people put in to aid both riders. You should stop aligning yourself closely to injured riders or riders who passed away, its crass in its nature whether you either know them or are using their situation to spawn a reaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in the real world it's what a lot of people think, most people are fed up with the DW43 all the time, there are British riders badly hurt too who didn't make a good living like Darcy where's the support for them ?

No, no it isn’t – you are deluded. The vast majority of right minded people don’t become “fed up” with someone who ends up in a wheelchair as a result of a speedway accident. You, and whoever the hell would spend time in your company might have led yourself to believe “a lot of people” think that, they don’t. They may have grown tired of Ward’s general behaviour and conduct pre-injury but that is not connected to his state of peril or what has happened to any other rider irrespective of their nationality, people can and do separate the two things. You are showing yourself up to be a complete and utter moron referencing “DW43” in the way you do. As a part of your brethren, the community you chose to join and seemingly understand so much about you should have the brains, the savvy and the sensitivity to be able to remove your thoughts about Ward the person and the situation he found himself in and how the speedway community reacted to it. You crass classless idiot. Edited July 25, 2016 by The Mockingjay 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was no fan of Darcy Ward, although I admired his ability as a speedway rider. I have commented in the past that he was fortunate to be receiving so much attention when compared to other riders in a similar plight...

As I've said before, in the real world you speak of you would have been shunned a long long time ago for the stuff you come out with re Woffinden, now you've decided to drop it a few more notches and bring the dead and injured into your pathetic crusade.

Everybody admired his talent and everybody was saddened to his loss to racing but to keep pushing the DW43 pot out begging when the same rider boasted he has put a lot of money aside from the huge amount he was paid, I hear the poles have seen the light, help those in need like ashworth not someone in wards financial position, didn't he recently go to Vegas after buying his Gold Coast house, I am not alone in my thoughts.

So what if he did go to Vegas? Good, good on him and thank Christ he is still in a position where he can - and great that he has a home that will afford him as comfortable a position as possible in later life, that is an amazing thing, great to see that for an injured rider. You’re comments re what is made by him, and was or wasn’t made by others is flat out disrespectful to the people of in particular Berwick and Sheffield who put on meetings and events to raise funds for Ashworth, it is disrespecting any fan in the country who put their hand in their pocket and contributed to guys like Ricky Ashworth, any injured rider or the SRBF, it is distasteful - you’re just to dense to realise that, either that or posting it with the sole intention of provoking a reaction which makes you an absolute cretin, as is anyone that shares that thought with you - making reference to others who supposedly think like you offers no validity to your thoughts or posts, not one single iota.

Can i get your boss's number please - you're supposedly working up in scotland today and all you've done is use this forum - i don't think you're performing well. Unless you're a rent boy of course and are just waiting for punters to come in, which if so, please accept my apologies.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
