Craig cool will be their , has he ridden for the same promotion for the past 10 yrs or have the rules changed ?

Geoff rules changed a while ago, if a rider has been in speedway for 10 years he can apply/be put forward to be considered for a testimonial, does not have to have at a club/with same promotion for 10 years, the powers that be decide if one is granted, imo I find this wrong as every Tom dick and Harry could be entitled to one, but lots don't apply, maybe it's just ones who like money apply, oops what have I just said !!: )

Your right,it just a money grab for greedy riders,Cook probably needs the money to finance his GP losses last season which we all heard about with the sob stories.

as long as the rider has not had a break , asked for a transfer from his clubs . he should be granted one .so richard lawson started before cookie and he has not had one yet because he asked to be away from workington , therefore breaking the rules of a testimonial .

Think you will find that Craig asked to be away from Worky when he went to Edinburgh....

You know after the fall.out with the promotion when he was sold to Edinburgh...

That's not you making stuff up again Jenga is it? Doh!!!

me, make stuff up. never . looks like the powers that were in charge of  workington  made it clear to the scb/bspa that craig was not included in workingtons plans for the following season and then sold him to glasgow , so as not to break the service to speedway . 

who in turn , edinburgh then sold him back to workington recently and then worky sold him onto belle vue. or have i just made things up again ?  :shock:

Think you may be confusing us buying Richard Lawson from Workington after Lakeside never paid the initial transfer fee to Workington .

Glasgow then stepped in and paid the fee.

Craig Cook as far as i am aware is still an Edinburgh asset
