Maybe so.But he never really produced much and was on the decline before he was banged up. Not many come back as good as they were before a long break. I doubt he would get a 5 point average in the second tier. Even with the lack of riders available, it would seem a major gamble to even bother ringing him up Never produced much? He made it to the Cardiff gp line up which very few riders from this country ever do, and I bet you cheered him on that day like all his haters that are now slagging him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"MADE IT to the Cardiff GP lineup"? He was named as "track reserve", which is hardly the same thing. You could say that Keith Yorke made it to the NLRC, and at least he actually rode! Yes, Iris123, why are you slagging him off for being a heartless violent thug and criminal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to laugh at the ' very few riders from this country ever do' bit. When home track reserves are almost exclusively from this country. Remember the other obscure rider who was on breakfast TV and they mixed up speedway with the US auto racing thing. But he was also saying he made it to the European final or some other pre GP quali meeting. When he never qualified. He was also just a local track reserve But the point also was 10 years ago Garruty was pleading for a chance and saying he was a reformed character .....ho hum Edited April 27 by iris123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise anyone riding as a track reserve ( not in the 'line up ' ) was picked at random and didn't have to qualify for that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that makes more sense... As far as the GP's, the Wild Card and track reserves are nominated by the hosting national association. With other events, such as the British Final, NLRC etc, it was usual (but didn't always follow) for the hosting track to nominate the track reserves. For example, the track reserves for the 1974 British Final were Coventry riders Frank Smith and Roger Hill. The NLRC was another example. In 1974, Bob Hughes, Brian Havelock, and Willie Templeton all "qualified" as their track's No.1, and all rode as reserve on the night. Same with Ian Clark and Graham Jones in 1977. However, Wimbledon juniors Ian Williams and Dave Brewer rode as reserve in 1976 and 1979, and Keith Yorke and Graham Knowler did the same in 1980.

If less than 4 years then release on probation is generally automatic, and indeed non-violent offenders are increasingly eligible for home detention for some of the prison time. If more than 4 years, I think you only become eligible for early release on licence after you've served half the time, and that requires Parole Board approval (i.e. demonstrated good behaviour).

Yeah Robins Updates quoted about it so I did see the post. https://x.com/RobinsUpdates/status/1787863979378856088 Edit - I assume you don't mean the actual interview as that is at 5pm. Did someone put it up too early then? Not that I'd be watching it as I don't care what he has to say. Edited May 7 by lisa-colette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
