I really expected much more, why we all know what Cook is, the verdict is what those who made the decision are....leave it there! majority of speedway fans don't like Cook or SCB.. nothing changes except opinions more cemented and polarised. only winners may be Eastbourne as they'll get huge crowd if and when Cook reappears there although he'll no doubt have an excuse or an even bigger strop leave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im guessing you don't like Craig . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its also a fact that the Marshal put himself in danger that started the melee. Im not standing up for Cook in the slightest, but too many guilty parties involved and unfair penalties dished out. Cook put many people in danger by riding his bike through the pits. I saw it. He was so close to some people. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really expected much more, I think most will not really be bothered either way.. British Speedway can get you like that.. Good luck to Craig, if the system allows it then fair play to him for escaping a ban.. It certainly won't resonate outside of the tiny GB Speedway bubble so no harm done to the Sport.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not shocking in the slightest. They were equally as culpable. What’s now shocking is that the outcome has very different outcomes for them to what Cook has now received.

That wasn’t on the various videos shown on social media and I agree there is a reason why bikes aren’t permitted to be ridden in the pits. Cook is most definitely to blame for his part. It no less excuses the behaviour of others involved or the have a go (none) hero Marshall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Doctor... 1,478 Posted September 12, 2019 6 hours ago, Richard Weston said: Shameful decision by SCB. No reason given for the decision. No transparency from the SCB. How do they justify the ban for Kennett and Vissing? Ho much was the fine? Sadly i did say that they had something up their sleeve here. Scb should be having words with those that have cocked up. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vissing's appeal was rejected, Kennett didn't appeal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrizHeathen 37 Posted September 12, 2019 Its a laughable decision. Cook is guilty of starting the whole sequence of events which led to other bans. In essence his club as got off scott free....not fair at all. What is even more laughable is people saying 'leave him alone, he's got mental health issues'...well if that's the case he definitely should not be on a speedway track right now. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my role I do quite a few appeals on disciplinary matters which involve dismissal, and spend quite a lot of my time reviewing the process followed before either over turning or up holding the decision made.. It does appear something quite obvious may have happened/been missed, for him to a) not get banned soon after the incident like the others and b) not get banned after the appeal hearing when all the facts had been reviewed.. What obviously appeared to be an 'open and shut case' in the 'trial by social media' looks like it wasn't quite what it seemed.. As you say, maybe someone should be now getting some 'feedback'... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
