I agree on the Jacob Hook front personally I was disappointed when he wasnt signed for this year. Claus Vissing never really seemed to like Northside and never gelled in the team.
I agree its probably time to call it a day, real shame as Craig has a real talent but he is constantly letting himself and others down.
Whatever happens the promotion has a problem as a replacement wont be an easy find, it may even require two changes however the rest of the team are performing as required so very difficult call.
Cookie is class on a bike but unfortunately he is just too un reliable we need a team thats complete.
What changes could be made? Antti would be great at home, but falls short on away tracks.
I dont know what others think but in my view if Cookie isnt up for it we need to look for a replacement also Vinnie is out for a while by all accounts so maybe we look to replace him (temporarily) R/R and guests isnt really working. The other issue which is a good problem that works against us is that there is really no home advantage visitors are up to speed on the first ride which isnt the case at the more technical??? (awkward) tracks
I was quite impressed with the performance against Scunny although sad to say Jamie Etherington is way off the pace looks like another Sam McGurk scenario. Im sure the promotion will be looking at options to cover Vinnies absence and Jamie.
It looks like we are neck and neck with Scunthorpe in the competition to be last to announce the 2026 teams. Just a bit longer and we can win.
TBH its boring now.
Yeah Cliff built and promoted Park Road and The Furness Flyers sadly the supporters didnt come and the enterprise went under. Two reasons I suppose track was out of town and poor team.
