Star Lady Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thought that was at the start of a race. From memory of the BV incident the other year, you don't have to use them you just have to wear them. So as long as they were still round his neck it was legal. Makes sense to me cos if the goggles are filled in with shale it's safer to slip them down round the neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings us nicely on to dirt deflectors and whether they are "fit for purpose"?. But thinking about it I expect Briggo would argue that hasn't made any claims as to where the dirt gets deflected to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thinking about it I expect Briggo would argue that hasn't made any claims as to where the dirt gets deflected to. I dont think they serve any purpose at all. Another idea to make a quick buck. Ward ,Holder Woffy and Batch are another set of people with short term memory loss .Without UK speedway they never would have never made it in speedway in the first place ,a fact forgotten when they become big time and slag it off .Ward is even worst seeing the amount of people in the uk who put there hands into there pockets to help him out in his hour of need . Yep without British speedway none would have got to and been where they are were. But on the flip side, had you been professional at something wouldn't you have appreciated the help like Darcy has got ?? My guess it would be yes.

waytogo28 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 If nothing else I hope that we can now end this allegedly deep emotional link to Darcy Ward, just as he has decided to cut his ties with UK speedway. Let's just remember some terrific, thrilling racing he did on track and that we also supported him generously when he had his life changing accident. He struggled with expressing himself intelligently when he was riding and let his bike skills speak for him. Now it's over. Let him Twitter on.

SteveLyric2 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Anyway back to the thread.......Anyone know what the SCB Appeal process is?? Assuming CH wants to race in UK again next year then I would think that any club considering signing him would be proactive in supporting an appeal for his 9 month suspension to be reduced by at least a month?!

No idea on the process ,but I would like to think that there is provision for any failed appeal to include the possibility an extension of the original ban.

However long the suspension ends up being, it doesn't start until the fine has been paid (£3000). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm sure I've read somewhere that he can resume racing from April 13th 2018?! Maybe read it in the SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be true but in other cases where the fine wasn't paid the suspension continued, then again, the fine might have already been paid.

Dave Jones Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I can't see any reason for an appeal, Holder is out of UK speedway for this season given the transfer window date. Then we have 5 months break for the close season, providing he pays his fine he can be back in action 4 weeks after next season starts. When you break it down it's not much of a ban really, and I doubt 3 grand will inconvenience him either. I suppose his biggest issue will be a work permit for 2018.

jenga Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) we were discussing this ban the other night . danny bird got a ban, BUT his suspension from british speedway did not start until he paid his fine . danny didnt pay the fine , so his ban is still pending . also i hope the ban is only in force during the actual british speedway season and not during the close season .

I hope he does appeal, so the ban then will be suspended until the hearing, which means he will miss more of 2018 when it is upheld (and extended). He looked a shadow of his former self last night... I wonder if Poole fans really want him back? Edited August 13, 2017 by TheReturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked a shadow of his former self last night... I wonder if Poole fans really want him back? Don't disagree with any of that. "Batchelor withdrew from the same meeting owing to injury and, on production of a medical certificate, the SCB took no further action against him." I bet Fricke is glad he didn't take chapman up on his offer. 'Broken neck? Get on that bike or you're fired you soft Aussie whinger'. Are there any depths chapman isn't prepared to stoop to? Belle Vue fans already had the heads up long before we moved the new stadium, but it has just been one thing after another. The man has no shame, he must be a proper nasty piece of work, no wonder British speedway is in so bad a state with him calling the shots.

rocketman77 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) There is more too his ban than just his refusal to ride that night on a track that Was fit to race on.

Starboy118 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 So it's self employed when it suits, but 'denied a living' when it doesn't? Exactly! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea youd appreciate the help like darcy ward has got yet wouldnt go slagging british speedway off on social media like Ward has done. The guy is an absolute pillock. I hope he doesnt gain another penny out of uk speedway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Chapman was the Chairman?...anybody with an inkling of any sense would realise that the decision of CH ban from British speedway would be made by the committee, Chapman may of been the catalyst for the push for the ban but the final decision would of been made by the committee which he probably doesn't get a vote on...or I could be completely wrong?
