Nothing wrong with that at all . Thou Garrity is scumbag i expect if he was earning money from speedway i doubt he would have done this at this present time and it brings home that speedway riders are having no income . none of that means you should go out and rob people or that i sticking up for him in any way . Nothing stupid or anything to be outraged about in that post . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Some riders have baggage & reputations like Gollob, N Pederson, Ward, Barker, Garrity & others but teams still sign them or use them as guests for there own liking. We liked Garrity as a rider as he was approachable in the pits & he was entertaining on the track & in the talk ins after meetings in the clubhouse. He might have his demons which resulted in the attacks so more will come out in the court in May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 2 hours ago, Richard Weston said: I would have thought Birmingham Speedway would have suspended the rider in question, pending the outcome of the Crown Court hearing. This would be normal business procedure with anyone involved in a serious court case. Would the SCB have a view on this situation? I fail to see what purpose it would do given the season has no chance of starting before the court date. Birmingham have already issued a statement, and its true there is nothing else to add. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case would it surprise anyone if he got a non-custodial sentence, or a suspended sentence at worst? Then what? He'll be free to walk the streets again. Trendy Lefties will be preaching "rehabilitation", some will even preach "compassion" and "forgiveness". As it stands, he's not suspended from the team, and if speedway started again, so would he. And here's a forecast....just like Erik Cantona was forgiven for his crime, Garrity will be given a second chance, will rack up the points and be forgiven by the fans too. Just a guess like...
