It'd be a chance no doubt... but I've seen many successful comebacks from talented riders down the years... any return would have to be spun to the media and fans though. If I were in Redcar's position, I'd be very tempted. I saw him develop at Coventry under the guidance of Havvy, you'd go down to the pits and even though Havvy was "team" manager he'd invariably be with Garrity. It all seemed to fall apart when Garrity left Cov. Don't know whether Havvy would mentor him again? Edited May 25 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 I would like to think Redcar have more sense than to sign Garrity! No one is that desperate surely 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinh88 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Pleased with Dan Gilkes, think he will be an improvement on Knudsen (which wouldn't be hard). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears lost Charles Wright at the end of 23 and didnt win a match after that. They've lost King this season and lost one of the best track curators in the country leading to an inconsistent home track and all you can do is moan . What a great supporter you are, the club have gone out and signed one of the only riders available, as they will , quite rightly ,never resign Garrity. Gilkes is young and British and rides Redcar very well, yes, hes not a heat leader but he’ll do a good job for the Bears taking some of the pressure currently on Bailey and Edwards.

lukeellis Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 So which team do you support? Your argument is he’s young and British,so do all his points count double for that?And he rides our track really well?Scored 4 for Plymouth last season and 2 for Kent a couple of years ago.Also why have you mentioned Garrity?Off course nobody should ever entertain giving him a team place.

redlead Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I am a little surprised with Dans' signing, I can't see how he strengthens the team, it might even weaken us a bit. At the moment we are running with 2 heatleaders, 2 inconsistent second strings, and 3 reserves. Unless there's another change on the way, maybe when the new averages come into force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what job he's been brought in to do, is it just to fill a gap or to try and turn a losing team around? Redcar are very top heavy. Redcar have stated it's "a bid to get our season back on track" and to "strengthen up the Agilia Bears". Time will tell but It's not really done either imo Edited May 26 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fine if looking for a second string but really they need a 3rd HL, so then Connor can go back to 2 or 4 and not have the pressure of needing to get 7+ a meeting. Though maybe this shows there really isn't anyone to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree riders of heat leader standard are very thin on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
