Grachan Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Cook has insulted many on this forum, the very people that turn up week in week out, sponsor riders and do voluntary work within the clubs. He should be reprimanded for his comments. What is funny is they actually used voting to sort the heatleader list, no one would use biased opinion in a vote would they? You can just imagine Matt Ford biting his tongue and smiling to himself as they all voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Common concensus hey... So you are a promoter, you note that a rider of another team has not been included in the list, you then build an arguement to state he should be on the list knowing full well this potentially weakens them. Shambles. Its not even worth responding to the promoters cos its been proved over the many years they will not listen to the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Daniel Smith Posted December 17, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 John Cook, There's only 1 group of people within speedway that are "thick, biased or both". BSPA is such a group, the problems facing British Speedway are now at a point that they are beyond fixing thanks to you & your friends short sighted fook-ups 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Maybe we should no longer score races as 3 points for a win, 2 points for second etc. We should just let the promoters have a vote at the end of the match as to which team they thought should have won. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Where are the posts from those attacking SCB, also attacking Jon Cook? Looks like you will be having an early Christmas break You do get excited when you think someone might get banned. No doubt you'll be let down again. So you're happy with Jon Cook labelling fans as thick/biased? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Terrible post SICK is the only word you also made a sick comment about Gustix the other week what is up with you?? I'd normally say it makes me laugh when people get offended on behalf of others (retards in this case) but I'm not sure thats whats happening here!! I accept the Gustix comment was close to the line but it was a joke and not meant with any malice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I read John Cook's comments in a post on this forum. I haven't seen Speedway Star. The comments attributed to him were so outrageous I even had doubts they were genuine. Very foolish. I haven't seen Speedwáy a Star yet either, and won't see it until tomorrow so I might comment then. In the meantime the following points can be made without seeing the article :- 1. Speedwáy Star has something of a track record of publishing misleading/ half baked information so you raise a good point in questioning the accuracy of the report. 2. Jon Cook is a disastrous PR man. I was listening to him on BBC Essex talking about the signing of Bjarne Pedersen and it was so full of word whiskers (um, ar, you know etc) and jumbled sentences it was virtually incoherent. He is not alone in coming across in that way on radio, of course but when it's a live broadcast it seems common sense to have a few prepared notes as a prompt to get the information out in a coherent way. Anyone not familiar with Speedwáy probably didn't understand what he was talking about. 3. Majority of fans have some degree of bias (including me) as do most fans of competitive sport. 4. I don't know about Speedwáy fans as a whole but the posts on this forum indicate that there are plenty of thick ones around . 5. I don't think Jon Cook is a retard. On SCB's assessment I suppose that makes me thick. My take on on it is that he sometimes speaks before his brain is in gear, and that SCB is given to hyperbole, but like Jon Cook he knows his stuff in some areas but over eggs the pudding when he goes into print. 6. There is an enormous amount of pomposity by some posters on this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 The MUG PUNTERS will turn up every week whatever they call us ..we love the sport too much to walk away ..AND THEY KNOW IT ! That's what they believe yes... although as we know, slowly but surely the mug punters are walking away. Comments like this from Cook are simply a disgrace. They gain the sport nothing but I can guarantee you some fans will leave the sport as a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm not bothered what Cook says either tbh, just know that the Heat Leader list is a forking shambles. However I would say that the Promoters Work in a very difficult environmet and were there the money available it would be a lot better to have an independent body working on these kind of details, not vested interests.

Why else do you think you give subjects a heading? Thats an odd question that only had one answer. It wouldn't have really worked if I had called the topic, "Jon Cook Is A Man" would it?

Starman2006 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you don't agree you're either thick or biased, or both. And any credabillity you had on here you've just lost. Who the hell do you think you are ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
