Holders Crime V Cooks Crime


Argos

Recommended Posts

I think in Cooks case a slap on the wrist and a word in the ear of the official and in Holders case I think its a witch hunt by a promoter because the rider isn't scoring as he thought he would and the rider saying he thought the track was in bad shape (not for the first time I gather) ask Rory Schlien, Lets remember other riders on the night missed races because of conditions,but those riders are his assets, lets also remember that Holder has suffered major injuries on track and also one of his best mates was very seriously injured. Granted its not fair on the fans on the night but surley no one wants to see some one injured, I remember a oxford v cradley match called off at heat 4 because the track was bad to prevent injury. Also another meeting at oxford on a bank holiday between oxford and Swindon rainy weather had soaked the track they tried to ride it but was called off after a few heats and John Davis love him or not came on to the mike and spoke alit if sense saying they could continue but they could ride but NOT race as was give a massive round of applause.

So please listen to the riders the are the ones risking their necks but they also want to earn their money as they get paid on pts scored. To put two riders in danger of losing their work permits etc is not morally right.

 

Surley there must be some common sense on all sides to work these problems out, it makes the sport look ridiculous and prohibits major sponsors getting involved which are desperately needed.

No suggestion? Cook himself tweeted that an official had punched him?!?

I'm pretty sure I actually posted it on here (I stand corrected if I didn't though) but I know I saw the tweet, but went back onto Craig's twitter feed and it appears to have gone :o

When you see how childish and vindictive Chapman can be you have to wonder if this behaviour is the reason these big company sponsors haven't come off. They've been within grasping distance for months now according to the chairman but still nothing to show. If they ask for something that doesn't suit him then I can see his bullish attitude coming out again.

 

All a bit grim really and I don't envy the next chairman who has to try and sort out all Busters cock ups and dodgy deals.
