So, Wolves were in form for a few short weeks. Away form back to normal. Can we finally rule us out the top 4 now please.

Just you it seems. What a breath of fresh air that our current BRITISH world champ is able to add so much more to Speedway presentation broadcasts.

We all saw what all parties did. Eastbourne have got away with no penalty for there disgraceful part of the fracas.

I wonder if the SCB have lifted this or the BSPA? If so then sounds like involvement from the chairman.

The ban only affects his British clubs tho?

An absolutely crazy situation to allow one rider to have his ban lifted but not the other. An absolute farce of a decision.

As expected a made up or false headline

Exactly. Some people are so hung on the fact the Cook started it by pushing off from the presentations they seem to be excusing any other behaviour after that. 3 people got punished, rightly so. However Eastbourne got off lightly and there statement seems to indicate they carry no blame. Such a blinkered statement,

IF Cook wasn’t challenged he would have gone back to the pits (he was already slowing down to return to the pits in the video) and no fracas would have happened. Cook is 100% wrong for setting off whilst parade was going on. The marshal is at best 50% in the wrong for the fracas.

Cook is only going to give his own version which we can choose to believe or not. But no mention of the marshal in the middle of the track who caused the fracas, only mention those who were in the right. Blinkered.

Well let’s face it that official statement isn’t accurate or factual either, selective facts at best. 3 minute video footage of the sorry incident means you don’t have to be there to make an informed opinion. I take it you believe every word of the statement as correct fact because you were there. Which at best makes you comments blinkered. Its pretty clear the statement put out is at best part fact, part ignore the obvious and part fail to mention the part others who were involved played (notably those from the home side).

As I’ve previously discussed the statement is full of holes, and if you have to question what it means then it’s already causing doubts. just to be clear I didn’t believe for one minute he rode into or around anyone, not until the have a go hero decided to walk right unto his path.

We get our potatoes from Poole as the holes in your track must be from growing your own.

It stats that in the statement. Craig Cook chose to ignore all Red Flags and Lights, did not reduce his speed before riding in to and around the 1st / 2nd turn towards his teammates, the Eastbourne Team and Mascots and Track Officials at his point of departure. ’riding into and around’ could be classified as weaving.

Yes, seems so.

How was it? They mention the marshals on the inside with red flags but no mention of the have-a-go hero who put himself in real danger? Yet they say the support all staff so obviously feel it’s ok to have a marshal on track putting himself at danger?? Saying that Glasgow didn’t say anything about the track on the track walk. Completely irrelevant. They reported it to the ref who ordered remedial work. So why they felt a need to mention they said nothing before is complete hot air. A mention of Cook weaving in and out of track staff and kids??? Really. I’ve not seen any comments from those there who said that happened. A lot of facts littered with bias. They say Kennett should face anywhere near the same punishment as Cook or others?? Really?? Wading in like a thug proves he deserves no less. Quite a lot of bias and none facts.

I see the Eastbourne statement is out and full of holes. https://www.eastbourne-speedway.com/eastbourne-eagles-club-statement/

I have to say if anyone is qualified to recognise dire racing it would be a Poole fan. The amount of times SKY/BT have been there has resulted in total embarrassment all too often which often results in a quick fix for the problems to only resurface. This year has seen the worst ever track live on BT when Wolves were there. Last night the track looked to wet, heavy and grippy which obviously resulted in spread out racing. Racing hasn’t been brilliant since Doc left but it still puts a lot of tracks to shame for passing. Although as Bwitcher has pointed out the amount of passes made were not all due to mistakes. Blinkers on again I see!

Cheers for that, thanks Badge.

Ok thanks. Don’t follow him on Twitter.

Who says he declined? Has that been confirmed?

For Wolves it’s good to see Howarth in good form in reserve. Never seems both him and Douglas both have a good match at the same time in reserve. Jacob was a near class act and Morris does appear to be coming into decent form. Solid show. Panthers have to thank Scott for being up to making a battle of it. Wright to a lesser extent.

Some reason?? Did you see how wet and heavy the track was? Completely ruined it sadly.

We need to win away at least a couple of times which we don’t seem to be able to do after strong starts.

Depends what Poole do in the coming weeks but we look in decent form in comparison.
