archie21 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 There was a few rumours circulating round the stadium. One is true; it's safe to say it's not only a hand injury. So it looks as if it is true that he has been sacked. Is this another team Playing the rule book instead of telling the truth and comming clean to all.

I'm sure more will follow from the promotion soon as to the details of what is what. All I can say is I heard different stories and 1 is definitely true.

So all we all can do is wait and see what develops on this and hope that the Sheffield management come clean and let the fans know what did happen and stop the rumours.

Of course; I do think the promotion needs to stop all the rumours. If you read the program, it says it all by saying we (the promotion have decided to not use Garrity for the rest of the season) forgive me I haven't got the program to hand for the exact words. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work it out. Shame as he is/was a fan favourite. However Jason will be Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've been going almost weekly for 38 years now and I have some very fond memories of racing at Owlerton. I can honestly say that not one race from this season has stuck in my memory. Last night was the icing on the cake...I will be seriously considering spending my £20 weekly on enjoying myself instead of being bored to tears every Thursday (or Wednesday) night So, you weren't there the night Newcastle was there and Garrity and Lambert had a terrific race as described by the Updates site: Heat 11: Garrity, Lambert, Sissis, Phillips 4-2 (34-31) 61.7 Line Up: Garrity, Sissis, Lambert, R/R - Comments: Fantastic race between Garrity and Lambert. Best we've seen at Sheffield all season. Both riders were tough on each other consistently passing each other. But Garrity held on for the win.

Im sure a statement will follow soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 It says in the programme that Sheffield won't be using Garrity for the rest of the season because of his hand injury, how true, who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 From the Coventry web site, regarding their match tomorrow:- Ben Barker and Adam Roynon step in for the Bees as Jason Garrity is injured and Josh Bates is competing in the second round of the World Under-21 final at Pardubice.

Bostonian Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Surely if it was an issue with Sheffield, Jason would leave/be sacked and he would carry on riding for Coventry, otherwise he's not getting paid at all. Also, It's not Coventrys fault if Garrity has fell out with Sheffield, therefore they would need him in their side? Why would Coventry cover up a story for Sheffield's benefit? Not heard the rumours etc but be very strange if it was a cover up IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also heard the rumours, but if two clubs have put out that he has a hand injury, then it's not impossible that he might actually have a hand injury!

IronScorpion Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 but riders are pulling out of meetings through sudden illness, migraine, toothache etc at a moments notice. Normally, you can't see a doctor within 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScunnyDan Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Having been to Sheffield twice in one week (went to the PLRC last Sunday) I can honestly say I think them two meetings are the worst I've seen this season. I do not know how Sheff fans can keep watching FTG racing week in week out. Well done Sheffield on your win on Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 When the current Promotion took over, they spent a lot of time and money on trying to get the track back in to a good state, but it does seem to have deteriorated back to what it had become. You barely get your shoes mucky when walking on it these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
