I spoke to Simon Lambert on Wednesday about Kemp and he wasn’t very flattering in his opinion. Pretty sure a few home truths could be said in the next few weeks. Lambert is pretty straight talking.

unless you know the issues it might be worth keeping quiet

no idea, but i would wait and see how things go before anybody has a dig anywhere

 Have always supported Drew Kemp, that was until the playoff final at KL where he acted terribly. A southern club were after him very recently but his demands were off the scale.

I he has genuine issues, then perhaps he shouldn’t be riding? I wish him the best. He certainly has ability.

at KL he was seriously pissed off with himself for not scoring what he hoped for, maybe he puts too much pressure on himself as do many people.

he definitely has the ability, but someone knocking him down before he's ridden for a team is not necessarily the way to go about things

I think Poole fans are entitled to have a dig the way he acted last season in the play offs. If he has genuine issues then they should be aired so we all understand.

 

see above

You can be pissed off with your own performance, but we won the title. It was definitely time to put personal disappointments to one side and celebrate with the rest of the team, rather than sulk in the pits when the other 6 are chucking champagne about. Danny and Steve W had to go and drag him out when he should have been there for the team and fans rather than skulking. 

It certainly angered Danny Ford. And antics like that might have cost Drew a team place in this years lineup.

I dont think Simon likes the idea of riders saying.."yes i will come but i want this this and this".. this was our problem early on when trying to replace ZT. They wanted the earth to come and they were only going to be a championship reserve... Nick Scorja on the other hand wanted to come so his demands were probably less ut unfortunatly visa issues meant it was a no go so looks like Rob has bit the bullit and payed what Drew asked?,

What the 10 grand? More likely Poland told him to ride in UK to keep match fitness up whilst he has 5 week break imo.

Yeah too right. Not cheap to go to KL. See the least he can do is look like he wants to celebrate a title win. Looked a bit awkward to me.

not sure but was told on way to redcar that he was out and had been ringing around for teams spots

I’d be surprised if Garritty was out yet. He was arrested in April 2020 sentenced to 7 and a half years in October 2020. Assuming he was remanded in custody in the April and his sentence is deemed to start from arrest rather than conviction, the best he can hope for is a release after serving half his sentence, so that would be 3 years and 9 months which would take us to January next year. 
In view of his crimes, I would hope that his licence has been permanently revoked

I might be able to solve this confusion, as I was also told a couple of weeks ago by a couple of people that Jason Garrity had been phoning round for a team place.  As I knew it wasn't possible because of where Garrity is currently residing, I asked some questions.   I was told that he was offering to make himself available to a couple of National League teams, which couldn't be right...  after a few further questions, it turned out that the person interested in a team place was actually JASON GARROD!

Now that makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up

We gave mark Courtney a 2nd chance when he got released, very different crimes right enough and garritys very hard to forget let alone forgive 

VERY VERY different crimes.

Even if he was available, I would be surprised if anyone wanted to see Garrity back after what he did.
