I must admit i can't think of anyone off the top of my head,and i've seen quite a few in my time.That's why i thought i would put the question out there.That Boyce one was a corker and funny enough many people at the time thought Gollob deserved it.

I've got memories or Stonehewer having a dustup with someone at Smallmead and also Anders Hendricksson being involved in something similar around that time. Not sure if any bans happened tho - @racers and royals may recall better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomasz was a bit of a menace in that first gp year, knocking riders off left right and centre. I think Boycey hit him for five or six riders! It certainly livened up a wet night in East London and the riders had a whip round to pay Craig's fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh that's right - y'know i'm wondering if its along those lines that could be the focus of the appeal for Cook. I don't know if the rulebook goes into specifics on this or referee guidance covers this, but i can't help but wonder that if serious misconduct is noted by the ref then maybe he has to take some action these days rather than it all just be noted and dealt with further down the line. Only a guess, but Cook must have something on a technicality level up his sleeve if he's going to put himself thru the aggro of an appeal. Only a thought tho as i say..

Catalan 710 Posted August 18, 2019 I do feel as both the other perpetrators have served their punishment Cookie will have to take some sort of sentence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 20, 2019 From the lack of previous bans for worse misdemeanours than that of Craig Cook, seems that the BSPA reaction has been wholly disproportionate, whipped up it seems because the CAPTAIN of the Glasgow Tigers team dared to criticise the Arlington track preparation directly to the referee. This is turn led to a well documented hate campaign towards the Glasgow Team Captain over the P.A. during the meeting "presentations" leading to the rider departing the presentations early ... the rest is captured on video and has been variously interpreted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just tell us, where does the BSPA have any place in this dream world you have in Kent? As far as the rest of the world is concerned, they just aren't involved in any part of this ..........

A "hate campaign" might be a bit strong, but it seems that there was some kind of wind up going on over the PA. And if you wanted a reaction, Cookie is your man unfortunately. Having said that, he did act in an inappropriate manor. As did a few Dugards I read. Not a thing done about that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
