Yes heard this a few hours ago, a big support to Workington Speedway over many years and sponsor and friend to many, many riders.
Sad news indeed, thoughts with the family.
The potential is certainly there to win the League with Brennan, Basso, Bailey and Hume looking to improve, if Cookie, Oyster and Nicol can maintain there average there is every chance of success.
Agree Cook will probably average 7.00 as a minimum for Sheffield probably more like 7.5 plus , also Sheffield have a strong top five who. can all pull their weight.
Im sure Mr Godfrey and Mr Chapman are very hard working chaps and have their best interests at heart but the road Speedway is going it is not sustainable in its present form.
