Popular Post Najjer Posted March 27, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I think Peterborough are in the right on this one. Absolutely 1 million percent club sponsors should take priority over individual riders. Club sponsors and the revenue it creates is what is helping keep clubs afloat at the moment so more and more of that is required. If a rider, in this case Cook, isn't happy about that then go and sign for someone else. The irony is that he has absolutely no sponsors on display now. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't all GP riders had the same fork covers for yonks, advertising the company that sponsors the GP not the individual rider. Craig Cook seemed to accept that. I'm not too sure quite how this fundamentally differs 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Promoters need to stick to a budget. Can’t afford to lose any more clubs. Cookie is obviously expensive to employ but no rider is bigger than the club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see what Cook's problem would of been with that personally.. Even more ironic, on his website homepage he actually carries a picture of him from the GP with the British GP sponsor on it *facepalm* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 42 minutes ago, Blupanther said: 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 ... Totally fed up with all the Chapman deceit and the way he thinks he can get away with it , what a shocking embarrassment on press and practice day you have to announce that your top rider will not be riding for the club , how much more of this rubbishe are Panthers fans supposed to put up with, I also have noticed they have secured Europress on to the sponsorship advertising board again , with all the damage that has done for the sport especially at Peterborough Chapman couldn't have insulted supporters by getting this excuse on board . I have recently renewed my supporters club membership , what a waste of time as I am now withdrawing my support totally from the club and want no involvement with this shambles. Mildenhall could well be my next venture as I wont be supporting anything that has connections with Chapman. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Gomolski would be awful with tight tracks like Wolves and ippo to ride at..I have to say I was gutted when we lost Bomber, lesser so with Cookie but losing 2 top brits and replacing them with 2 foreigners is a recipe for losing fans and to not even have a full team at press and practice day is an awfull way to start the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I don't think both Cook or Buster come out looking good in this, but for me, Cook more so in the wrong. As Craig was willing to sacrifice his sponsors being black & white for more points money, he just counteracts his argument. Questions have to be asked to Chapman, and probably were, why's things different for Hans? Craig does seem to have this mentality that he's some kind of Speedway Superstar. With Buster, he understands how bang average Cook is so would never pay stupid money for him. I don't think Gomolski will be a bad replacement, he's a different beast to that in 2011. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Another British Speedway shambles. Doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong it’s yer another example of how the sport here is a laughing stock. Peterborough could well be whipping boys if they don’t get a decent replacement now. At least Buster has two other teams who can go for the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Quite surprised how divided opinion is on this, would have put money on the vast majority of people being on Cook’s side when I first heard the news. Perhaps that says something. A real shame however for the people who really matter ie the P’boro fans that it couldn’t be sorted out though. Both the rider and the club are worse off as it stands.

poolebolton Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I feel so for Pboro fans. You don't deserve this. Had a great time at the start of the season and it's gone all wrong. Buster Chapmans 3 teams will have covers and racesuits because that is the sponsorship deal he has agreed. He wanted the whole league to do it, with Poole, Swindon and Wolves very much against a league sponsor. (wasnt enough money) Kacper G is a good rider but he isn't Cook standard. When i saw his tweet this morning i thought if he was coming into Poole it was a replacement for Richie W. So he is in that standard of rider, worse than Cook but better than the other 4. HAns and tungate are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Bit of a rubbish Show so close to the season starting. However as much as I am a fan of Cook and not a fan of Chapman, you have to give credit to him sticking to a budget he can afford. As a Rye House fan and hearing what they were paying and how that worked out, I'd take Peterborough's current situation any day. And, Cookie's cause not helped by the fact he seems to have out priced himself out of 2 different teams now. Also, don't think its that bad of a 1-7. Not as good as When Cookie was #1 but still competitive in what is a pretty weak Premier league these days.

wealdstone Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Gomolski in no way adequate replacement for Cooke. Hope we can do better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
