Ben Cook had his KL contract for 2026 before the end of this past season!!

I am sure if we moved up at any stage in the future then he would be welcomed back at Poole.

Think everyone would take Lawson over Cook, but that would have taken Lynn over the limit if my maths isn’t off (usually is tbf).

A few will be squeezed out due to a 37 limit instead of 40 for top 6.

I had forgot about Lawson I wonder where he will end up in the 5 team top league ?

He's already got contracts at Poole and in Denmark (squad place) and Poland!

All KL fans slagging off Cook last season now reading in this thread all seem happy he's in the team.

Would say you couldn't make it up but with speedway fans makes perfect sense....

Could you provide a list of who 'slagged him off' and those who are happy he's in the team so that we can cross reference please?

Stop being pedantic.

Don't need to look that far above to find 'I'm happy with that team posts'.

I wasn't happy with the Cook situation last season, and said so, or "slagged" him/ the Poles off if you like..

 I've not said im happy he's in the team this season either, so that's me off the flip flop "list" hasta la vista if you thought i was one of them

It's great to have  Local boys Coops and Jody in the team, Although would rather have Cooper on a 2 . Jan and Bomber back, and  a genuine No.1 is great. If Cook rides a whole season, i would expect him to put a bit on his average, i will say that..

Not at all. Willing to discuss anything I write here or you do at KL when I'm there.

You can explain why you change your mind so much about certain riders, will be interesting to listen to the reasoning as you are very vocal on here and then change very quickly.

It's quite simple, opinions change. We can all be right one week, then an absolute gimp the next. It's being an imperfectly normal human 👍🏻

As you all said it was his Polish club stopping him from riding UK and not the rider, what do you expect next season as they are now in the Extraliga and will be in the relegation play downs during August and September?

 

[Daniel Smith]

It wasn't just his Polish club, he said himself it was he himself that didn't want to return to UK tracks as they'd hamper his recovery from injury, only returning when he felt 100%.

Us British fans need to understand, with the 💰💰 Poland pay, we're 2nd fiddle & we should just accept the situation as it is (for now).

Things always goes in cycles, maybe in 10-20yrs one of the UK, Sweden, Denmark could be the place to be & makes the demands on Poland.

While we are were we are, we just have to bow down to the necessary if we want to continue with riders of a higher standard. 

[ouch]

A league once placed a ban on Swedish riders who lived in Sweden. Bullies throwing their weight around.

Has Jody been announced officially in the team? I haven't seen that anywhere?

Shaping up to be a pretty solid line up,
