I’ve liked Cook since he first started with the Comets and hoped/expected him to be still here. Bachelor is a good rider though and had some great wins, yeh be good to hear who is coming. Expect there’ll be announcements next week. Hope so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted November 16, 2024 Report Share Posted November 16, 2024 There seems to be this strong core of older fans in Workington who love to spout negative Chinese whispers about the club. We’ve had all sorts in the past few weeks, even the referee’s box had burned down the other week. I just don’t get it? Where were these moans directed when we didn’t have a club, football or rugby? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the most exciting new rider to British speedway this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted November 16, 2024 Report Share Posted November 16, 2024 Craig Cook is very inconsistent nowadays… especially in the Premier league. Dependant on signings,there can still be a good side in 2025 at Workington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndiCapp Posted November 16, 2024 Report Share Posted November 16, 2024 (edited) Why do people find the need to say the club has made a mistake in moving a rider on? If you follow a team in another sport you support the club and the players that play for your club badge each year. Speedway is no different. Craig has had a great career over 3 spells in a Comets bib both domestically and on the international stage with a variety of success over the rest of his club career so now he isnt a part of the plans its deemed a bad decision? I will envisage there are multitude of pros/cons to sign any rider and the club has deemed that he doesnt fit the mould for the upcoming season. This is a chapter that has closed for now (at least) but rest assured the club will be putting together a side with all intention of winning silverwear and like the sides in 2018 & 2024 write the 2025 side in your peril!

The forum would be a very dull place if you could only state facts & not opinions. If people think Cook is good value on his average & would be one of the top riders in the league in 2025, then of course they're gonna say Workington have made a mistake.

Only if the team or club would struggle with him being moved/moving on. Imo that will not be the case but only time will tell. There has obviously been mitigating circumstances which deem the club moves on in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
