A.N.Other

Wow I am stuck for words almost ! Fancy that ! Who would have thought in their wildest dreams, that Poole would be granted the first leg ?????? Amazing !!

Aw c'mon, do you SERIOUSLY think that the powers that be will allow Workington to have the 1st leg ?? You gotta be joking surely ?

Especially one with badges on maybe ?

And like, who might you be referring to ?? !!!! 😒

I think we get the message ! Lol

Doesnt seem to be much interested on here re this meeting. Anyone out there in Berwick ? Or has someone locked the door after the last person left ???

Hold on a minute.....I heard that the management KNEW since the day they signed CV that he would not be available this weekend as he was acting as Best Man at a wedding. So how could they know months ago, that Ace Piper was "the best option" ? Wasnt he riding for Glasgow at that time ? And if so, wouldnt Glasgow have been riding last night so he couldnt "guest" could he ? I am led to believe that the rules state you cannot have a guest replacement for a rider who is absent due to "personal reasons" ? But if you can show me the relevant rule I will stand corrected !

I have been asked by someone, why we didnt get a guest for Craig Cook for this meeting ? Anyone know for sure ?

Just had a call from a Comets fan who is at Redcar right now. He says there is no sign of Craig Cook !! But Dale Wood (Edinburgh NDL Rider ?) is there. Someone on here has said its because he is our assigned No8. Wonderful !

Thanks for the information so far guys. If anyone can confirm Cookie Monster IS riding, and we havent got an NDL stand in for him, I would appreciate knowing. I appreciate his current situation makes it difficult for him to know for sure. But the Club needs to know well in advance, one way or the other. Thanks again !

The serious question I would ask, is, does anyone know FOR CERTAIN, if Craig Cook IS riding on Friday and at home on Saturday please ?

Lets not cook up a fuss now Geoff !

I personally dont think the crowds are as high as riding in the championship needs them to be, for it to be sustainable. But one thing is for sure, the crowds at the Poole meeting yesterday were MUCH higher than of late ! Even better that those at the Ben Fund Meeting in my opinion !

But the incident with Cook didnt happen on the FIRST BEND did it ! It happened mid way between the 1st and 2nd bends. If it had happened going in to the FIRST BEND then the ref can use his discretion. Once the riders are them progressing to the 2nd bend, he cant use the "1st bend bunching" rule ! Also where did you see all this "billowing dust" ??? I havent missed a meeting there all season, and believe you me, you can hardly say there was ANY dust today !

He lives in a local coastal village called Allonby.
