No.8 will barely get a ride with Starke & Rowe in the side. Edited December 2, 2021 by BassoontheGasso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted December 2, 2021 19 minutes ago, Bash said: So why did Sheffield not retain him then. If he is such a bargain all the teams would've tried to sign him. He had a poor season at Sheffield, it didn't work out so no surprise he didn't stay. Was never going to Peterborough they couldn't fit him with their teams plans, had a falling out with Lynn years ago so that's the reason half the club's wouldn't sign him. That leaves 3 Clearly wouldn't fit at wolves, Belle Vue thought they had signed him before he joins us. To be honest I think Sheffield are taking a gamble on Cook given how he has been performing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) But he thought Crump was worth a gamble on 8.21 and 8,,,,, tells me all I need to know. And maybe Chris didn't have the chance to gamble on Cook,,, maybe Cook said no thanks Edited December 2, 2021 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtf 621 Posted December 2, 2021 Maybe? Sheffield were convinced they were getting Pickering, then when they didn’t they made a swoop for cook who was planning on going elsewhere? There’s been much movement the last week and the kingpin could have been Pickering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And maybe Chris didn't have the chance to gamble on Cook,,, maybe Cook said no thanks you have been to all the meetings ike me last year. when Cook was in the mood he was near on untouchable but those days were few and far between. Many other meetings he just gave up when at the back. I don't like paying to see riders with that attitude. Having said that I know Batchelor can be the same and if he does go down that road ,then it will have been a bad signing but what I would say is that Cook will not improve his average whereas Bathchelor should do. Time will tell I guess? Edited December 2, 2021 by stu219 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell I guess? Troy would have to improve his average by over a point just to get to where Craig would have been,,, so to see any team improvement,,, Troy will have to improve it even more. Now I wonder if we even thought about a rider like Musielek,,, on a decent average,,, is mustard around Foxhall,, would prob also have improved as well. A perfect 3rd heat leader. Would love to know if we even bothered contacting him. Anyway,,, I'm done with the situation now,, it won't change and I can't change it. So time for me to accept it,, move on and make plans.

I know a great place that has pool , darts , cable TV, food , drink and great company - I'm sure the host has already extended the invite.... Costs about £19 less than the speedway too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Costs about £19 less than the speedway too Yes I've been invited on many occasions I dare say the price will be going up another pound next season. I see if you get a season ticket,,, it's another 25 for a seat. Edited December 2, 2021 by Baldyman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted December 2, 2021 £25 for a grandstand seat..... presumably the area in front of the referees box by the start finish line ??? Traditionally was an extra charge to get in that section Needs clarification though. Extra for using the general seats would be taking the pee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe people are asking why not Musielek, how many times in the past have we had problems with poles missing meetings or not putting the effort in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
