Woke23 Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Cookie is a fantastic rider. Flies out the gate and will be phenomenal for Edinurgh. He's also 20kg lighter than last season. Whats annoying is he couldnt be bothered travelling 15 minutes down the bypass to Workington. I understand Workington are bad payers but that cant be used as an excuse when you've went missing for previous clubs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh were actually one of the clubs he has left in trouble previously. The thing i can not understand is where the fella gets his money from as he has hardly riden speedway the last few year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like many Speedway riders they must get paid well in the season ,as a lot of the young riders are off to Australia for winter, a holiday and speedway, where's the money coming from ??

I have always thought that and im no knocking the riders as you get as much as you can out of riding but lol yeah but the sport can not sustain this on current crowds and money in speedway, its really an amateur sport especially st championship level but run as a professional sport. Riders used to have jobs and then ride speedway but the vast majority now treat speedway as a full time job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
