It's not like I'm suggesting a reserve to replace Cook. Probably fair to say Berwick not one of his favourite tracks over the years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Plymouth last year, I'd guess they'll get a 28 day facility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously not seen him much at Shielfield over the years.Touring round at the back when he misses the gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than someone suggesting I'm clueless. Although so far, no one has been able to suggest a better replacement than MPT (except a 75% guest) if MPT is such a bad suggestion, it should be easy for people to name stronger (realistic) signings right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand with what happened with Rory and now Cook is completely beyond their control, but just bloody communicate with the fans. Totally agree with that. If Berwick explained their predicament they would come out looking like the "innocent party" staying silent seems to serve no purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he's unsigned, his financial demands were way to high and effectively priced himself out of the market however he's in a very strong negotiating position now if Berwick want to sign him.

The season has started whether Berwick have started or not.Now that he is still unavailable to represent the Club he should be released. Although it seems extremely unlikely, maybe Cook is unavailable for pairs but will be ready for start of season!!!!. It seems very unfair to fans who booked a bus to the pairs expecting to see Kildemand (can't predict injuries) and Cook (whose participation has apparently been iffy for weeks or maybe months) riding. Without knowing all the facts, for the club to issue a statement regarding rider participation and without much clarity only 2 days before the event seems pretty pathetic and disrespectful to the fans. Maybe it's to do with legal reasons or maybe they genuinely haven't a clue what's happening. Either way it just looks bad. Anybody put their season ticket up for sale on ebay yet? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilali Posted April 3, 2025 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2025 Absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for Berwicks promotion. In my eyes they are just as culpable as Cook is. As soon as he let Leicester down he should have been released. Another complete shambles that can be added to an already lengthy list.

A couple of points below Cook, would there be a double change? 4.00 rider coming in for Dayle Wood? Would be very harsh on Dayle, similar to Scunthorpe dropping Joe T when Zaine Kennedy got injured pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShoe Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 I feel for the Berwick fans, seems like very poor communication from within the club. The warning signs were there when Craig couldn't be contacted by Leicester and were apparently informed by his Dad that he was in no condition to ride a bike. Worky were in a similar position last season with regards to Craig not responding to communication and the club not knowing whether he would turn up for P&P.

Marksman Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 I think it's probably a case of Berwick can't communicate what they don't know. They probably don't want throw him under a bus and come out and say "we haven't actually been able to speak to Craig, he won't respond" Like SteelShoe says Worky had the exact same problems last year prior to the season and later on during the season. Fortunately for Workington he did turn up to 70% of meetings, performed when there and we could get a decent guest when he wasn't there. He was never going to return in 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7KDD Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 Claus Vissing........ Scored 13+1 at Berwick for Workington in the Border Trophy. Scored 12 at Berwick for Workington in the Championship. Flies round Glasgow......Plymouth, Edinburgh.........and on a 7.39 Away average for Worky....... Available on a 6.34 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
