Craig Cook, a rider I admire, obviously wants more than Buster thinks the club can afford. Responsibility rests with both sides. Nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Cook, obviously wants more than Buster thinks the club can afford. Responsibility rests with both sides. Just amended your post slightly to reflect my feeling on this matter. Obviously ged and cook came to a verbal agreement, let's not forget cook a staunch belle vue rider, was dropped for his allegedly high demands from them, so does this mean he was another one that ged promised more than his worth For what it's worth I'm gutted for you fans, a decent team now decimated possibly by greedy riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted March 27, 2019 That worry about a 2pm start and a clash with the football seems a bit trivial now.... Shocking that it has taken til the end of March for this to come to a head when it was all set in motion in mid December Genuinely feel for you on this one. This should not happening like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therefused 819 Posted March 27, 2019 I wonder how much Glasgow are paying Cook? Must be a small fortune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Cook hasn't signed for one reason and one only and that's because we are running on a very tight budget like Ipswich and neither side will be competitive. I would rather see the entire Premiership go under now. I'm done with this s**t I have been going to watch for many years but now I am done with this f*****g circus act. The sport is f****d in this country and it's beyond repair. Absolutely disgusted seeing my club being ripped apart to save a sinking ship. Ipswich fans are in the same boat. B****x to the lot of it.

SpeedwayTShirts 307 Posted March 27, 2019 I totally agree with Craig Cook, being told where to put the clubs sponsors on his racesuit, bikes and even his cap takes the pi$$. And to be told his sponsors have to be in black and white !! Craig was well within his rights to ask Peterborough to make up the shortfall he'd be losing. A Mickey Mouse attitude by what's become a Mickey Mouse sport with one of the smallest followings in the UK. 13 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.m 3,063 Posted March 27, 2019 How can any promoter expect a sponsor to have its logo in black and white? Total arrogance or naivety. Shooting themselves in the foot! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodles 1,337 Posted March 27, 2019 Why was Cook selling advertising space he knew he couldn't deliver on? I wonder what his current sponsors think about him walking away from the top league - less exposure for them now, presume they expected to appear on BT sport? 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sully 274 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Has this just come from the Peterborough promotion or governing body? Cook mentions other tracks doing the same. Is that all Premiership clubs or just a select few? Edited March 27, 2019 by Sully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,692 Posted March 27, 2019 Well i said a while ago i wanted no part of Chapman's circus, and this fiasco has confirmed my initial thoughts. Mildenhall only for me this season, Chapman won't be getting a penny of my money ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
