spin king junior 394 Posted March 27, 2019 4 minutes ago, Sully said: 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? Belle Vue have colour sponsors. Seems to be just Peterborough and Ipswich so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sully 274 Posted March 27, 2019 Hans’ Meridian Lifts sponsors look nice and prominent on his bike. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted March 27, 2019 Whilst I feel sorry for you guys didn’t I say this two months ago that ged broke the wage ceiling on two of his heat leaders and they were going to have to ride for busters rate or find somewhere else to ride. I got loads of stick and told I was making it up. I accept your apologies 6 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas 911 Posted March 27, 2019 Buster Chapman has already embarrassed this club before we have even ridden...and to use press and practice day to announce this is shocking. First Bomber now Cookie..WTF are they thinking..great promoting guys..top job so far!...Ged please come back! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted March 27, 2019 I think Peterborough are in the right on this one. Absolutely 1 million percent club sponsors should take priority over individual riders. Club sponsors and the revenue it creates is what is helping keep clubs afloat at the moment so more and more of that is required. If a rider, in this case Cook, isn't happy about that then go and sign for someone else. The irony is that he has absolutely no sponsors on display now. 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted March 27, 2019 Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't all GP riders had the same fork covers for yonks, advertising the company that sponsors the GP not the individual rider. Craig Cook seemed to accept that. I'm not too sure quite how this fundamentally differs 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted March 27, 2019 Promoters need to stick to a budget. Can’t afford to lose any more clubs. Cookie is obviously expensive to employ but no rider is bigger than the club. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see what Cook's problem would of been with that personally.. Even more ironic, on his website homepage he actually carries a picture of him from the GP with the British GP sponsor on it *facepalm* 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
