StevePark Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 12 hours ago, scaramanga said: depends how you look at the payment they get yes a top rider spends more on his equipment to stay at the top but 5 points from a reserve is often a better performance than 10 points from a no1 so why should points money be so much different for a reserve or no1 heat leader maybe points money should be exactly that a set amount per point regardless of team position just the signing on fee or start money be different depending on deal done per rider I remember a few years ago, being told that Len Silver, the then promoter at Rye House, paid all seven riders the same amount per point, whether they were a number one or a number seven or anything in between. This came directly from a rider and his dad. Whether there were add-ons to that, I don't know. There quite possibly was (sponsorship etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he wants to make up for his last stint at Northside. I know he's been smashing the gym a lot, so maybe a fit, motivated Cookie will arrive come the start of the season.

scaramanga Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 All we can do is wait If people keep off his back might help him Was talking to him over Christmas and he denied he was gonna ride but he did look fitter than recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 What average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Big gamble this on the last two seasons history of him packing in mid season. Never thought I'd see him back for the Comets after what he di in 2024 but the promotion have obviously accepted it now and moved on. Craig Cook when fit is still a top 10 rider in the Championship trouble is staying fit and motivated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Cook`s signing will end one way and one way only. Recent history tells us everything you need to know. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king junior Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 They'll never learn... cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would sign Craig at this point. An absolute liability, completely unpredictable and has let down clubs year on year. Good luck Workington, I suspect at somepoint this season you'll need it once Craig disappears... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
