Danny Ayres, I'm in shock at hearing of his death, What can I say about Danny, This young man always gave 100% and so loved his job, was always full of determination, passion and his love for the sport and his fans was massive, our Condolences go to his family and friends at this very difficult time. Danny Ayres you were loved by so many. May you rest easy big fella, R. I. P

There was an interesting article in the Speedway Star dated 18th January 2020 about Danny and his life, written by Neil Skelding. Worth a read.

24 hours later and still cant believe what were seeing or hearing.. It just hasnt sunk in yet.. :-( .. Had a gruff voice just like Danny Dyer, and i recon all the Cradley fans loved that character and guy when he came to help us in 2017.

RIP Danny.. a real legend and an honour to watch you..

I think, like me, the speedway world is stunned at this news. We all want to know how, why, how could this happen? But out of respect we'll refrain from asking those questions just now, won't we?

Danny was a racer, an entertainer and someone the fans took to their hearts. Keep that in your thoughts and let us try and to understand how his nearest and dearest must be feeling. 
Personally, I can't begin to imagine.

Having just read Rob Godfrey''s words on the speedwaygb website (click here), I have to say what a moving tribute that was.

 

Rest easy Danny.

I attended a speedway experience day a couple of years back at Glasgow and Danny was doing some practice laps at Ashfield before our session started (i could be wrong but i think he started speedway at a similar experience day so knew the instructor) - i'm sure he was doubling up with Glasgow and Plymouth that season so was racking up the miles. Showed his commitment to the sport and also generally what the paying public don't see. A grafter and entertainer who will be sadly missed. RIP.

Very sad news indeed. I admit to never see Danny ride in person, only in the British final on TV. And from what I heard he was an entertainer on the track. I was looking forward to seeing him ride when Ippo came to the AFA this coming season..

Rest In Peace.
