YerRopes Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Bothered enough to come on this thread!! Not quite.. I read this thread to find out exactly what Darcy said and the reasons why.. I'm not bothered whether he ever goes back to Poole or not Not bothered Skidder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I've criticised Darcy in the past, but can't see anything wrong with this tweet. He and holder have been the two stars you associate with poole for this decade, so it is an end of an era. And this year's top flight will be arguably the weakest ever. That's what he's pointing out here, and it's hard to deny that it's true. Spot on. That's exactly the point he was making. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Can't see anything wrong with what Darcy has said to be honest. He is still a bit of a fool irrelevent of the tragedy that happened to him but in this case there is nothing to be seen here!

damosuzuki Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Exactly, end of an era, that's how I took it. Oh and by the way, some wheelchair bound people find it very difficult to keep warm. I would think if you have no leg movement it would be. Trying to have a go at him on that basis is pathetic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Darcy is entitled to his opinion, can't say it means anything at all to the top flight. Bit foot in mouth if he suggesting not supporting the top flight if he wants to run a meeting at a club he has a long association with. However it's not the first time and won't be the last he makes such a flammable post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I must rate as one of the most critical of speedway fans re: Darcy Ward, however when reading that post I took it to mean that Poole are now without Chris and himself riding for the team, nothing more nothing less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the significance of the 'what even is speedway in UK. Anymore' bit. Seems to me he's decrying the sport over here in total, not just Poole.

Shadders Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Some people reading far too much into the DW tweet. Team speedway is slowly dying on its arse. Too expensive to run, not enough people paying through the gate. It can only go one way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 The problem with the English language is it can be ambiguous and people will read things how they want. I think it was an innocent tweet and don't believe he was having a go at Poole - why would he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Twitter is a strange thing! First time I saw this I was convinced he was having a go at Poole - saying that he would not be at Poole because they had droped Chris Holder. Then later, I realised it probably meant that times have changed and that neither of them are at Poole any longer. But it could be read either way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could be read either way. sadly it's the lack of punctuation and the word 'and' which means it's 50-50 I expect, but as I already have said I'm definitely not a Darcy fan but I didn't read it negatively,just that neither he nor Chris would be lining up at WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I like getting a dig in a Ward where ever possible but even I think people are reading this wrong. I don't think he meant it in the way that the OP has read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I read it the same as Badger and SCB and I'm no Ward sycophant! Seems like the OP's agenda blurs his vision 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
