He has had his struggles in SGP so far this season but you have to take your hat off to Craig Cook.

That`s a spectacularly bad decision from the ref.

More start line nerves for Cook. Great to hear from race director Phil Morris, I wonder how long before we hear an apology for the bad language.

Speedway racing in this Country is on the crest of a slump at the minute, lets hope tonight's SGP can put a smile back on the face of British speedway and remind us that our sport can be good at times.

From a purely selfish and personal point of view the earlier in the season the better for me.

That`s how it was announced at Berwick last weekend, all the teams top three were added with the lowest team missing, sadly for them that meant Newcastle.

Scary.

I`d love to know, on the face of it it seems quite ridiculous.

At this rate I am going to be on my own-some.

Very poor is putting it mildly.

Still a squad member, but very unlikely of being selected.

Aaron Summers had a rare outing today in the Polish league where he scored 5pts for Wanda Krakow in their home defeat to ROW Rybnik, the meeting ended 27-63...ouch.

Bewley selected ahead of Cook once again for today's meeting between Wanda Krakow and Rybnik where he scored 10+3.

I think Mr Chapman is/was a poster on this forum, I am hoping if he sees this thread he will give his own thoughts.

Sadly for Peterborough that ship sailed to Edinburgh.

Theo Pijper has had a decent day in the second Speedway Longtrack GP in Holland where in finished 4th in the Final, the meeting was won by Martin Smolinski.

Glasgow.

That and Scunthorpe were not much more than a three man team, though guest Covatti did splutter into life in Ht12, Gino Manzaries was an embarrassment. Hopefully Danny Phillips will be back very soon after his crash and withdrawal.

Dont worry you will get used to this, anyone who dares to criticise is a forum fanny.

No doubt at all. How`s that for support Mrs Cresent Girl.

Berwick should be able to see off Scunthorpe tonight, irrespective of track conditions, our visitors have a rider at No1 just back from injury and IMO are considerably weaker in the reserve positions. If Berwick are to keep up their play off ambitions this is a must win.

Of course they would and I don`t blame them, Craig Cook is self employed and will want to make a good living from his racing career.

If, by putting in the effort through the week, the entertainment improves and keeps people coming back week in week out and then tempts back those who are disappearing on a weekly bases, isn't it worth it.

Agree, but whoever takes on the job will probably get by vote from the BSPA and going by how long it takes to get things done it will be a few seasons yet before we see an independent individual ruling speedway.

Whilst I`ve no doubt Jonathan Chapman is a great guy and top bloke, would he or anyone else for that matter take on the task of curing the problems speedway currently faces.
