He will be back by mid season imo. Hopefully back to berwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbend123 Posted December 22, 2025 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2025 I am hearing Workington are very much on Plan B hence the delay in announcing signings. Cook has definitely signed. I believe they have been let down by a danish rider to slot into number 2 and are searching for a replacement. unsure on number 6 position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I would have said he would be a good signing full time. If he wanted to ride in the Champ only other option would be Scunthorpe, but would be tough to fit him in alongside Pickering. Credit to him for being brave enough to leave Champ behind & try to progress as a rider, if that's his plan, but kinda feel one season too early for that. Do you know he has left the Championship behind ?. Haven't seen this in writing. Championship team places do now look extremely limited. Scunny who are yet to announce the remaining pieces of their team jigsaw could fit him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted December 22, 2025 Report Share Posted December 22, 2025 (edited) It is looking like there may have been a fly in the ointment which is a shame if true considering most teams have had their line ups sorted for a while. If the Cookie rumour has legs then I will be surprised past history considered. If there has been backword from a Danish rider and Cookie has signed then the options are limited. Danyon Hume and Max Perry comes in bang on 40 points if my math is correct. Danyon is a trier and Max has scope for improvement.

Apparently drew has signed for dagvalgas ( crap spelling) the Latvian team than rides in the polish 2nd tier ? Which can be difficult to get vto, hence no championship speedway for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be surprised with the Cookie signing, especially with how it ended last time. I wouldn't be against it though as he is a good rider and with Jeppesen and Batch, it makes a decent set of heat leaders. Add to that Zischke and we have a decent 4 out of 5. I wouldn't like Max Perry as I feel like he's another Sam Mcgurk. He won't score many at reserve and probably won't get out the 2 points.

Actually averaged better away from home, so if he finds a track he prefers to Glasgow, could progress even more? Looking at his Northside scores, he's had 2 good matches at development level, but not rode at Champ level yet, surprisingly.

szkocjasid Posted December 22, 2025 Report Share Posted December 22, 2025 How about a strength in depth team? Jonas Jeppersen - 8.20 Troy Batchelor - 7.10 Tate Zischke - 5.76 Francis Gusts - 5.49 Jonas Knudsen - 5.05 Alfie Bowtell - 4.65 Vinnie Foord - 3.69 Total - 39.94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Saturday's would be any better. Not a great many options on that average (if they don't go the Cook route) Cameron Heeps? Declan Kennedy? Or Kennedy instead of Bowtell?
