Diamonds85 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 29 minutes ago, lewy said: Speedway riders are an eclectic bunch,alleged rapists, drug use,grooming people in glass houses etc,garrity has been inside,hopefully the judicial system works,and he has learnt a lesson and makes the most of having a second chance in life. I'm sure Steve Worrall, as a speedway rider, would be highly offended to be tarred under the same brush as any of the alleged above. Considering last season when his testimonial meeting was cancelled he collected together all the food he had arranged and donated it to the local homeless shelter. There are many, many wonderful speedway riders out there and I'd love to invite anyone below with similar stories. Let's change the next few pages into something positive and not rats who mug grannies and get a few years with a free bed and breakfast paid by the tax payers, eh? I'd love to know who the nice lads of speedway are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he became 'available' he would NOT be granted an ACU licence. He might get one from NORA, however. Which wouldn't help Plymouth, but thankfully keep him away from our leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffa Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 While not wanting to see Garrity granted a licence, why would he be defused a licence? Is there a section where convictions etc have to be declared or something like that? Just interested to why a licence can be declined/denied.

screm Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I`m not sure what the fuss is about or the debate, there are no circumstances where I see a team going anywhere near Garrity, licensed or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Plymouth will go under if they sign Garrity, People will legit walk away and Plymouth cant afford that to happen. Unfortunately for them I don't see another option unless they want to sign a rider like Ben Morley and just accept getting battered every week with the threat of fans walking away. Worrying times for the Gladiators, Hope everything works out well for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Calls for a second chance for that crackhead Garrity are ridiculous. The guys a junkie who robbed old and vulnerable people. Has a big history of robbing team mates as well and being nothing but hassle as well as being a liability on track. Should never be granted a license to ride ever again and Lewy's comments must of been a wind up as nobody with half a brain would post such rubbish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I’ve backed my team through thick and thin and I no the devastation what some one like that has done, I also no what the person it’s happened to is like after wards if that man comes anywhere near Plymouth speedway I never will again I’d rather get beat every week that put money in his pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't have up to date equipment etc. I wouldn't pick him anyway, no matter how good he might be. Not after the crime he committed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 It's a shame the race night has moved in a way as might have been able to get someone like Rew (unless he is doing Sweden this year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's OK then Are you suggesting that a drug dealer like Courtney, couriering tens of thousands of pounds worth of drugs, is not as bad as (say) Richie Worrall snorting a line of coke at a party? Seems a strange take! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a strange take! In terms of speedway of course it’s ‘not as bad’. I’d trust a drug mule to not cause an on track injury over a drug taker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put words in Steve Parks mouth, he only corrected what Mark Courtney was charged with, and you came out accusing him of saying one thing being worse than another. Now you’ve called it a bizarre take to trust a drug trafficker on a 60mph bike with no brakes, over a drug user? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
