g13webb 4,254 Posted August 16, 2018 The Cook situation tonight really highlights everything wrong with the way our sport is run. Never in a million years would the general public believe that a second division club can have priority over a top league club. Cook has only been riding in the second division for 5 mins, yet BV has to use a guest, and you wonder why the sport is looked upon so badly... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the BV riders doing their bit tonight. Did notice the meetings running well. All done by 9.20 I reckon. Edited August 16, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can blame DC2 for all the crap he threw our way earlier this season. What goes around comes around and he who laughs last laughs longest. The funniest bit is a Poole rider stuffing the Robins in heat 13 to give Belle Vue the win. Hey DC2, cheer up, you might still make the playoffs and meet us in the semis. I see it made real sense to show faith in your 1-7 and not make changes. Well done to the Robins management for that one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
