You have changed some of your race nights to Fridays so he would be ok for the GP just not practice....................................................Oh wait up again. The BSPA have allowed us to race on Fridays so we could have declared Cookie then had decent guests when he was missing ............................................ Oh wait up again. The BSPA have stopped us racing on a Friday as too many teams are now racing then (3 agreed at the AGM meaning 6 out of 11 teams would be racing) but now that has been stopped as other teams with injured riders need guest to cover. Jesus, what a sport. I just can't keep up. I believe Craig at the time just wanted to ride Prem and GPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AND it was his average that was too high for the championship . so no choice in the matter prem only didnt stop Scott Nichols tho and now the bspa/scb are running scared . rabbits in headlights . they can see , but the dont know what direction to take ! ruined a good sport by not writing rules down in a book .

SPEEDY69 1,259 Posted July 12, 2018 it was confirmed early in the winter he could ride championship but they had an unwritten rule about gp riders i think. Plus, he also had a Champs average, which was why Nicholls was discriminated against, nothing to do with averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need a toothbrush just take them out put your teeth in a glass overnight with a good cleaning solution and put them back in in the morning. No need to beg for stamps will save you the hassle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Craig Cook I have said that it actually makes us weaker and I stand by that , at least we have a seven man team again so will have to wait and see how it goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a big fan of Craig, he had a much better GP in the last round, really hope he pushes on , looking forward to seeing him at Cardiff in front of his own crowd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8scot 589 Posted July 13, 2018 Well, from an Edinburgh fan..... unlike some from the East..... I wish Craig good luck at Glasgow. He needs to be able to earn a living and he’s not going to do that and compete in the GP (and support a new baby) with a few meetings for BelleVue. It was a no brainer financially. It will be tough to see him in Tiggers kevlars but heyho, life goes on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
