Take away the off track problems and Cook is and has been one of the best riders the league for years. The bloke is quality and bangs in points wherever he goes.

Thought he was owned by belle vue? Not that it counts for much these days.

I’d say it’s probably the security of Ipswich fully seeing the season out and knowing he’ll be paid on time every week. Absolutely no guarantee Birmingham will even see the season out… that surely came into brennans thoughts.

Can we get this pinned? Mods…..

Zach Cook has signed for Poole.

Fairly sure he had to stop riding because of the consequences though.

Think he shot himself with a gun didn’t he? Was brilliant in 2010 for Newcastle as well.

Must be close to a testimonial now 😅

Ah ok must’ve totally missed that one. If that was his only option of a payday I’m sure he’d learn to like it.

Bump this back up, can mods pin this…..

Haha fair enough. Was that when he was riding for Kent? Actually thought he’d scored well on his visit.

What did he say? Sometimes though beggars can’t be choosers n all that lol.

Oh yeah forgot about that! In fairness though I’m just trying to think of number ones for you, if rumours are correct that kerr is off to pastures new and doubts about schlein, throw in the potential of brennan and cook dropping this league as well as Pickering then genuine heat leaders are very thin on the ground.

Throwing a name out there would Batchelor be an option for number one? With doubts about Schlein… he’s worked with Stewart Dickson before at Leicester and if it’s a 38 limit can’t imagine workington keeping cook, tate and batchelor.

Personally can’t see it being 40, maybe 38.5? I just think with teams struggling this past season to find a number 1 and with the possibility of another 3 beat leaders dropping this league then the disparity between certain teams would be huge if the limit was 40.

Drew Kemp for Berwick.

If he has reliable equipment then he should increase his average, it’s a big if though. I think the main problem Plymouth might have like a few clubs is finding a number one especially if Covatti isn’t coming back.

The irony lol.

Disagree slightly on the last bit vinnie must be ready considering he’s doubled his starting average, it shows he’s comfortably scoring points. He is a bit rash mind I think the thing what springs to mind is you have 4 laps in the race to pass someone you don’t have to do everything in one lap.

As others have previously stated elsewhere on this forum doesn’t it cost a few thousand pound per meeting just to actually cover all of the expenses of everything involved for a meeting? So 10,000 isn’t going to cover much surely. Surely the money they are trying to raise is to pay some of this seasons debts.

Oxford need scotty to come to the party.

Had a season to see all the tracks too.

Will he be fit? Was going to add him but unsure how his injuries are healing.

Bring Kerr, Kemp and Borke back then fill in the blanks.

12 point lead may not be enough but at least it adds interest to the second leg. Oxford need masters and Nicholls to be bang at it and hope heeps plus killeen come to the party too.
