He was told the promoter could do a better job than him and save money at the same time hence the S/Star article by said promoter saying the track had been bad for years , Oh how that has come back to haunt him ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you should have plenty in the pot seeing as you didn’t spend much on your team this season. getting 100 tons of shale any paying a professional team to relay the track won’t be a issue then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If what was said about Cook was untrue I can't blame him for being annoyed. Cook is one of those riders who opposition fans hate, but home fans love. I’m not sure why he gets such abuse. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat 10 was actually race of the season at brough as well with about 5 passes in the race. They need to post that race on YouTube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still gets boo'd at Poole. Well Glasgow haven't visited yet but he did last season. The reason he gets it at Poole is from his KL days where: 1. He putJosh G on the greyhound track (might have already mentioned that!) 2. Him and Rob Lambert apparently decided to create their own hole in Poole track, as if we needed any more! (One of them dug and one of them filmed it, can't remember which way round it was). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
