mikebv Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just over 5 hours to go and still no guest riders named?? It's on this!!! This really could happen ... Two full strength teams in the same meeting!!.. To get an extra few 'bob', maybe Brum could rustle up some commemorative souvenir T shirts to mark the occasion?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGT Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 One downside, 2 full strength teams means biro sales will be down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 100% spot on In my opinion both Barker and Cook are to good to ride in the PL and the only way they will improve is by stepping up to the EL full time and also riding abroad. Aah, but that has to be balanced against earning a few quid to keep them out of other paid employment. You can only ride abroad if someone wants you to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonian Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Enjoying the meeting on bet365, but deary me the music is terrible. Surely they can get some update stuff! I know the crowd are usually the older generation but it's about getting people through the gate and who keep going back, you need good entertainment between races and that's mainly music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 How bad is Craig Cook how does he manage to get max after max in the pl ?he looked like a novice tonight who could hardly get round 4 laps . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Can't gate consistently. No gatey no winny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Stay in the PL Craig Cook. Remember when he was talking about Sweden and Poland? Edited June 11, 2014 by Jepsen Jensen Racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Brilliant win for the brummies well chuffed everyone I mean everyone played there part when needed . Look to be getting our spirit back we may not be the best 7 but we won't be turned over easily when at full strength loving the last few weeks the fire and passion is there and as a fan I love I really do..... Joking aside I'm enjoying it more than last season because it's heat 15 deciders galore which is brilliant for a fan IMO people may disagree but that's opinions for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Stay in the PL Craig Cook. Remember when he was talking about Sweden and Poland? its good he has some ambition. Its easy to criticise when things are going badly but he can ride well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Stewart Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Can't gate consistently. No gatey no winny. This is completely and utterly wrong. I can't explain the difference between his Premier and Elite form and I'm sure he can't either. But it certainly is not because he can't pass.

But it certainly is not because he can't pass. Could it be that, despite what some will tell you about the apparent strength of the PL, he's just not up to 4 rides against EL heat leaders under this years format? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He easily beats riders like Barker and King in the PL. I accept that he hasn't proved himself yet, but I have seen every meeting he has ridden in the PL for the last four years and I know that he has the ability, there is no doubt about it.

I can't remember the last time he rode at Coventry, so I don't see a great deal of him. I do think his relative lack of EL experience is costing him a bit now there are no easy races for heat leaders at the top level though.

Mr Blobby Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not to sure what going on with Cookie at the moment. Winning races for fun in the PL even if he doesn't make the gate he is still passing them and winning by half a lap. Even riders like Barker and King he is beating with ease in the PL. Only a couple of weeks ago he beat danny king who he was against tonight at newcastle twice by the length of the straight. I think it's more of a mental thing than ability with craig, maybe taking the captaincy of him and moving him to number 3 to try and take the pressure off him might help him get back to riding in the EL the way we know he can.
