Workington v Scunthorpe 30/05/26 Championship 6pm.

[topaz325]

Workington are back in action on Saturday at 6pm and are up against the Scunthorpe Scorpions.

At the time of writing its not known whether Jonas Jeppesen will be fit to ride having crashed whilst riding in Denmark.

Some better news is that Vinnie Foord returns to the side and young Dane Niklas Jakobsen recently finished third in the Danish final.

Weather looks a bit grim. With all the dry weather, a little bit of rain will turn it into a swimming pool. 

I wonder if they can hold a swimming meet instead?

I bet batch has a mean doggie paddle.

Workington Speedway can confirm that Craig Cook has notified the club this afternoon that he is currently unable to take his place in the team, and will not be available for tomorrow’s fixture against Scunthorpe. We respect Craig’s position and remain in contact with him. Any further updates will be provided when appropriate, and we ask supporters to respect his privacy and refrain from speculation. The promotion is actively trying to secure a guest for tomorrow’s fixture.

I know cookie has issues,but is this classed as withholding services or has a sick note been produced, depending on which it is creates a whole different set of circumstances.

It’ll be ‘withholding services’ for sure, Comets will be fine as they’ll get a 30 day facility but a 30 day ban for Cook.

The old timers at the SCB and BSPL wont have any other method in dealing with it and probably give zero support to the rider.

Hope Cookie is getting help, he is still one of the best riders in the league as he showed at Glasgow in his last outing, and is irreplaceable IMO.

As for who replaces him, it has to be like for like on his 8.39 average, as we are way over the 40 point limit.

Whoever it is won’t be as good as what Cook produces on track and in the pits.

Scunny just lost the unfortunate Dan Gilkes to injury. Plenty of strong reserves to choose from. Scunny been weak in that department tonight so it could well strengthen them.
