moomin man 76 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Probably the sensible thing to do, as his career was on a downward trajectory. It would be better to remember Davey Watt positively for his earlier career, rather than for his struggles of the past couple of the seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonh Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good racer in his day, remember watching him at the Isle Of Wight. Good Luck Dave with the future..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhamboy66 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yes happy retirement. A good servant to British speedway and a damn good rider at his peak. Sad to see him struggling so badly at Rye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 All very confusing- this is a translation of a sportowefakty article, published after the announcement.  " The supporters of Steel Rzeszów do not have to worry about the end of Davey Watt's career. The 39-year-old declared that if needed, the cranes would be able to count on him, but only in emergency. Right now, Chris Harris, Nicklas Porsing and Josh Grajczonek are in the squad, but Watt will be at the disposal of Janusz Stachyra in the event of a collision or injury " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Announced via twitter. And Facebook. Good decision to get out while he's still in one piece and I wish him all the best for whatever his plans are for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) R & R, Davey rang me last nite, I'm in Aussie & said that he has finished riding in England but will see out his contract with his polish club if need be. Â Well it official now, congrats on ur career brother, it's been a pleasure & a privilege being there with u from start to finish....

hagonshocker Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good luck to Davey it has been a very good career but he obviously feels the time is right now, a very loyal and dependable rider but above all a really decent fellow who was always good with supporters and conducted himself superbly in front of the cameras , I reckon he'd be an asset for BT or someone with the expanding coverage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I thought Watt had retired about two seasons ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Sorry to see him go but all good things come to an end. I loved having him at Lakeside both as a guest and as the three years he a team member. At his best, a great stylist and formidable second heatleader. Best wishes for the future Davey, wishing you success in whatever you do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
