Cos they are trying to defend Cook and that is the only thing they can come up with. Darcy did all his punishments, time for Cook to do the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the comments regarding other riders are disgraceful. The guy is a complete w@nker. What riders? I know he has a massive problem with Nicki P but haven't seen anything with anyone else. Well only Cook whining at him as it happens but that was last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All that some are saying is that Craig Cook should also be rightly punished rather than try to claim some 'unfairness' because the SCB's Neil Vatcher is a friend of Jon Cook, amongst others?? Is that the new evidence? Clutching at scores with that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a dig at Smolinski somewhere I seem to remember and there will be more , just going off instagram comments that always appear in my news feed . Obviously as he was a Poole rider youll think hes great and the best thing since sliced bread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Poole rider he was the best thing since sliced bread on the track. Nowadays I can't really blame him for resorting to social media from his wheelchair!!!!!

Short memory Mr ward has. Didn't he slate British speedway as well but was forced to grovel and back track when he was reminded how much was done for him over here compared to being robbed by the Poles and Swedes? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 17, 2019 Have the Cook Vissing and Kennett bans finished now ?? Cook has appealed Kennett gone on holiday Vissing ?? Meanwhile the Eastbourne “promotion” are planning how to wind up and intimidate their next visitors to their little track at Arlington. One thing I have to say their promoters are certainly hands on down in Sussex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I have to say their promoters are certainly hands on down in Sussex As you say Cook has appealed, so his ban is suspended until the appeal is heard. He could get more if unsuccessful, or less if he is. Vissing's appeal was declined. So banned Kennett didn't appeal. So banned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile the Eastbourne “promotion” are planning how to wind up and intimidate their next visitors to their little track at Arlington. One thing I have to say their promoters are certainly hands on down in Sussex Based on the evidence received and with the support of 2 SCB Officers, the following penalties have been applied -Craig Cook - SCB Registration suspended for a period of 12 days 12th August - 23rd August 2019Claus Vissing - SCB Registration suspended for a period of 10 days 12th August - 21st August 2019Edward Kennett - SCB Registration suspended for a period of 10 days 12th August - 21st August 2019 ...................................... APPEALS have been received against suspensions by both Craig Cook and Claus Vissing.These appeals have been considered by the SCB members and it can now be confirmed that Claus Vissing's is rejected.However, following new information submitted by Craig Cook, his appeal has been accepted and a date for a full SCB hearing will be set.Craig Cook is therefore free to continue racing until the hearing but Claus Vissing's suspension remains in place until up to and including Wednesday August 21.No appeal has been received from the other suspended rider, Edward Kennett.
