I have and to be fair I think Cook is beng disrespectful, it also comes across as downright arrogant as to why supporters would question his and other promoters decisions. How on earth he can call supporters thick, biased or both after some of the ludicrous ideas he came up with (EL KOC format being one) escapes me. Another classic piece of Jon Cook PR.

Is the correct answer

It's to do with the supporters club, vacant positions on the committee.

Every club has supporters who don't agree with the majority and Rye House are no different, RH even had a promoter (now gone) who didn't agree with most of the Rye fans on what constituted a good team. On the basis that Simon (deservedly) won the rider of the year award I think you can take it shads that he is generally very popular and most will be delighted to see him back.

And theirin lies the problem, the BSPA continues to hide everything it does instead of doing things openly to the benefit of the sport, despite assurances from the new chairman it's clearly business as usual.

This is bog standard press release bullrubbish, the blokes ridden for just about every team at one point or another and didn't even get offered a place last year. Without at least one big hitter Lynn will struggle.

Born March 1990 apparently.

Failing to keep fans informed of what's going on is also very damaging and certainly doesn't portray Hemsley or the club in a good light.

Surprised that no Ricky Wells this year, I expect he will get plenty of guest bookings at Monmore though

2.43 according to the final PL GSA

Very good top 4 and certainly the best team completed at present

I don't think it's his hearing that's the problem.

Pretty sure the Kurtz brothers don't need visa's

Terrible news for Lynn fans but this has been coming for years and the promoters have just ignored the warning signals I asked the question at Niels talk in at Lynn the other week did he like Busters idea of fixed race nights for the EL and he completely agreed that it made a lot of sense. Funny how it makes a lot of sense to supporters and riders but promoters don't seem to agree or not enough of them to make it happen.

So you are telling me he only rode half the season at no 5, which is basically what I was saying. It's still early doors but I haven't seen anything yet that stands out although Newcastle look better than last year already.

Personally I thnk it's pretty average. Kings class at this level but Covatti started at reserve last year and will undoubtably find it tougher riding in the likely no 5 position. Risager is very hit and miss and their are big question marks against Kerr, especially early doors, if two of the top 4 have quiet nights I think you could struggle especially away. A good season will depend heavily on Kerr and Castagna significantly improving their starting averages.

It is indeed a lovely stadium and will obviously develop more the longer It runs but the track and lack of racing completely ruin it, but then Hemsley knows best doesn't he.

Are you serious

Presumably because his most recent PL average is 2014 and that was 3.00.

It helps of course but having unlimited funds doesn't guarantee anything in speedway as our present owners proved during their tenure. Signing riders on false low assessed averages and good old fashioned luck helps more as does avoiding injuries.

Perry is in the PL final GSA for 2014 for Scunthorpe and is listed as a 3.00 He doesn't appear in the final PL GSA for 2015.

10 - 12 hour drive each way for home meetings, he must be bloody bonkers Best of luck with that one

Averages don't lie, and his away form is dreadful.

Indeed.

The sensible nights would be Wednesday/Thursday, 50% less flights for a start, PL could then ride any other nights and missing double uppers wouldn't be a problem for either league.
