IronScorpion Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I got 7 laughs on this one Report post Posted April 1 Rob Godfrey has had to use his high status figure head to finally find a rider to replace Jake Allen although, it has restrictions in place. The said rider is J Garrity which will not go down with some on here, but it is with the proviso that he travels from his "home", tagged & with a guard in a standard vehicle. All his operational gear will be maintained at the club & will travel from the EWR , when required. His attendance is based on him being able to travel "home" before midnight. On the proviso where this is not possible, IIR can & may be used. Another option which was looked in to was the possibility of signing Maksym Drabik, as he is still unable to ride to ride in Poland due to the use of a banned substance. This, however, is still under review as it was an IV drip given & authorised by his club doctor. As far as we are aware, under ACU rules, he can still ride in another country but under their Governing Body. Note; IIR translates to irate inmate replacement 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased for Jake, really, & with the travel situations for some riders riding in Europe, I can see him supplementing his wages with guest appearances in the Championship & Premiership. To be fair IS were clubs not going to stick with (and stand by) the riders they had (if they could) and each club was to honour the rider places once the pandemic restrictions were lifted so if Jake can now race in the UK surely Scunny must have the first options on his services... it would be hard on Josh Macdonald but it is a two way street... is it to much to expect a little bit of loyalty from riders surely considering every thing we have been through over the last 18 months or has he been made an offer elsewhere he cant refuse.... if he couldn't do Scunny in the UK he maybe shouldn't be allowed to start for anyone else... I appreciate circumstances change but as the season hasn't started yet there may be an argument... or maybe not... I'm sure there will be an opinion or two on the matter for sure...

Scunny kept his spot for him and then he said he wasn't coming so fair enough but should he change his mind an now want to race over here should Scunny not have "first dibbs" on him so to speak...

Possibly but for me it's about loyalty and having a bit of a concience and not being mercenary... but I am a bit old fashioned in my views... I know there is a lot of Mickey taking on here but if it was one of our riders I wouldn't be happy if we found ourselves in the same situation... and when something similar happened at Worky a few year back I was bouncing but these thing do happen and who gives a monkey's what anyone else thinks these days... However I don't think we know what the full situation is and doubt we will ever find out... Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Some teams have managed to spark some interest and enthusiasm... and good luck to them. My team, no such thing, same old same old... If Jake comes over and rides for someone else, that'd be the final straw for me. I've never felt so despondent going into a new season. Think my time as a supporter/volunteer is coming to an end.

Honestly Treat this year as it is... bit of a non-entity... after what we have been through with this Covid carry on just enjoy that you; your club and the sport is still standing...

If you can find two mopeds reinforced and strong enough to lug two fat old farts like me and RG round the track then I'm in... might have more luck with two mobility scooters... they are greener... But on a serious note not a bad idea... and I am deffo in... Regards THJ Oh and two wide load signs for across our backs...
