Craig Cook, a rider I admire, obviously wants more than Buster thinks the club can afford. Responsibility rests with both sides. Nope.

Craig Cook, obviously wants more than Buster thinks the club can afford. Responsibility rests with both sides. Just amended your post slightly to reflect my feeling on this matter. Obviously ged and cook came to a verbal agreement, let's not forget cook a staunch belle vue rider, was dropped for his allegedly high demands from them, so does this mean he was another one that ged promised more than his worth For what it's worth I'm gutted for you fans, a decent team now decimated possibly by greedy riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 That worry about a 2pm start and a clash with the football seems a bit trivial now.... Shocking that it has taken til the end of March for this to come to a head when it was all set in motion in mid December Genuinely feel for you on this one. This should not happening like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I wonder how much Glasgow are paying Cook? Must be a small fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 One assumes that the sponsorship restrictions apply to all riders and they must have agreed to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Cook hasn't signed for one reason and one only and that's because we are running on a very tight budget like Ipswich and neither side will be competitive. I would rather see the entire Premiership go under now. I'm done with this s**t I have been going to watch for many years but now I am done with this f*****g circus act. The sport is f****d in this country and it's beyond repair. Absolutely disgusted seeing my club being ripped apart to save a sinking ship. Ipswich fans are in the same boat. B****x to the lot of it.

Popular Post SpeedwayTShirts Posted March 27, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I totally agree with Craig Cook, being told where to put the clubs sponsors on his racesuit, bikes and even his cap takes the pi$$. And to be told his sponsors have to be in black and white !! Craig was well within his rights to ask Peterborough to make up the shortfall he'd be losing. A Mickey Mouse attitude by what's become a Mickey Mouse sport with one of the smallest followings in the UK. 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 How can any promoter expect a sponsor to have its logo in black and white? Total arrogance or naivety. Shooting themselves in the foot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Why was Cook selling advertising space he knew he couldn't deliver on? I wonder what his current sponsors think about him walking away from the top league - less exposure for them now, presume they expected to appear on BT sport? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Has this just come from the Peterborough promotion or governing body? Cook mentions other tracks doing the same. Is that all Premiership clubs or just a select few? Edited March 27, 2019 by Sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Well i said a while ago i wanted no part of Chapman's circus, and this fiasco has confirmed my initial thoughts. Mildenhall only for me this season, Chapman won't be getting a penny of my money ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Whilst I feel sorry for you guys didn’t I say this two months ago that ged broke the wage ceiling on two of his heat leaders and they were going to have to ride for busters rate or find somewhere else to ride. I got loads of stick and told I was making it up. I accept your apologies 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
