Be interesting to see if that race comment dissappear or not! Why would he get In trouble? Texter who is volunteering and doesn't get paid for doing it. No one has to read it or use the site if they don't want it's a free service after all. We're always look for willing volunteers who think they can do better (I don't mean you by this). Everyone knows Cook is a hot head. Just take Thursday for example. Sheffield won easily against Peterborough, Yes Cook scored badly but where was he after the meeting when his 6 team mates were acknowledging the fans for supporting them etc. Yes that's right no where to be seen. It's an absolute over reaction on Cook's part. Edited May 8, 2022 by Fozzie4388 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We thought new signings but it mentioned what happened/etc then agree with your comments about tonight, meeting off, see you in two weeks and all the newc folk were in the pits, while glasgow team came out/etc The Glasgow lot came out because they won the meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an absolute over reaction on Cook's part. Cos according to other fans Cook didn't do what texter said he did. Edit - we are up to at least 3 fans at meeting saying Cook was being calm.

I'm sure people on this forum know my feelings towards my TM so I've no doubt that's exactly right. And his comments about 1 pass does go against the updates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It explains the number of first/second bend falls although that end of the track has appeared patchy all year. I don’t know if there were concerns about the track before racing began or not. But when the first call was made from for the clerk of the course to contact the referee Roy Clarke said “I wonder how many times we’ll hear that tonight?” it suggested something might not be right. 2 decent races in my opinion. Ulle going round the outside of Starke on bend 4 (the first outside pass I’ve seen at Brough this year) and heat 10 with Howarth and Basso passing each other before Wethers nipped up the inside to pip them both. Wethers does seem to be the master at getting underneath anyone who moves a millimetre off the white line coming off bend 4. Hope he’s not too bruised after his off. I saw Cook talking to Wright after they got a bit close in heat 5. I was expecting fireworks - there weren’t any. Couldn’t tell if Craig was complaining or asking James if he was alright. All very civilised in the circumstances. Tonight’s updates do seem to have a slight hint of home bias. Hopefully everything gets sorted next week both on and off the track. I suspect speedway needs Newcastle rather more than Newcastle needs speedway. All cook said was you don't turn left down the back straight on me but I'm sure he done that on the 1st lap to james 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any new owner is unlikely to get planning permission to run motorsports at Brough Park from the local authorities. You weren't to know this. Why would a new owner need planning permission?
