Strange how after years of doing a good job at Belle Vue this year he was left out. It takes both parties to talk and agree a compromise, it appears Cook wasn’t willing to talk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted March 29, 2019 For years speedway fans have yearned for a Barry Hearne type figure to grab the sport by the short and curlies and sort it out. Now Buster has sort of half done it (or what he believes is a more professional image) some fans are up in arms and shouting riders should rule the roost. You can''t have it both ways so make your mind up before the door finally smacks you on the bum! The above is only half jesting BTW 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit in bold.....I am far from that! My comment was very tongue in cheek but he has put money in the sport and is trying to standardise it, which I assume is what all the Hearne wishers want If you think anyone would step into the sport a la Hearne and not tell riders what they can and can't do, frankly you are living in cloud cuckoo land Edited March 29, 2019 by Star Lady 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
