I mean Craig Cook isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, there is definitely baggage there and there’s always an element of risk involved in signing him. But speedway is very short term thinking anyway. Ben Cook has done ok so far, but if Peterborough removed him and replaced him with Craig Cook, Peterborough would immediately become a stronger outfit. No ifs buts or maybes, they simply would. 
 

Nobody even knows if Craig Cook wants to do a full season in the Premiership either. He may be happy enough riding for Edinburgh and doing the odd guest booking here and there in the top flight, who knows. 

It’s a given, Craig is miles ahead of Ben as things stand. It’s a no brainer replacement if possible. 
Must admit I wouldn’t really want him anywhere near a team of mine however if he fit at wolves to replace the other Cook it would be a no brainer.

It seems to have got to the point where there isn’t even a far fetched rumour over who our #1 will be & has the travel blogger been sacked yet?

Sponsors are currently being asked by Buster to pay more and he'll sign Zagar within hours if they do.  

Tbh his is Matej Zagar with all due respect and hardly Artem Laguta.

Looking at the team declarations for May Panthers have 9.9 points spare before you start removing under performing riders.  

With a bit of ambition there's an opportunity to really strengthen especially given the averages of Worrall and Hans have grown slightly

I'm sure they will be all over that information like a rash..but they should be because if they don't do something for instance I won't be going to the next home match and if they do then I will..simple as that! and I'm sure I'm not the only one. And yes everyone will say I'm not a proper fan but the Belle Vue match wasn't even competitive so I left after heat 10 because it was just boring and processional and not fun to watch.

Make the changes now!..save the season and this could have an effect on saving the club.

I think someone said over a week ago that Buster is on a budget, and a certain sponsor needs to step up after what he said before the season started.. I hope he does for your sake.  ;-)

If rider demands are a factor then I think they will lose more in gate receipts if they don't do something..

The thing is if they told us they had the possibility to sign X rider but needed to raise X amount of money speedway fans are the type to raise it. 

This shouldn't be the case but with sponsors being asked to stump up more it appears he's got the begging bowl out for anything over the Pedersen contract.

The crowds will be far higher currently than budgeted

If I am correct we have not won a fixture home or away since beating Kings Lynn at home on July the 4th last year…14 fixtures…no wins 

That's some stat you don't want to read:o
