Even though Craig is only riding championship, I can assure you that he is flying and would have done a good job for the robins. Shame that a major sponsor has to hold a team to ransom because of a fall out with 1 rider. Who is he holding to ransom? Cook was named in the team for tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Why has this been called off? Showers forecast but no deluge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you even contemplate knocking our club surely you should be worrying about your own club's track.Now it has to be near on the worst track in the Premiership and going back to the Hartwell trophy/ Blue Riband days in the 70s/80s the track then was excellent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Stop talking rubbish. Pooles track is still way better than Swindon’s Improved track for racing. Yes it’s been poorly prepared but still one of the best tracks in the country when it’s prepared properly. And stop deflecting. This meeting should never have been called off so early. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been something to do with a certain sponsor threatening to pull there sponsorship if a certain rider guests for them. They had the perfect excuse because of the weather forecast to call this off to allow time to sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 All this stuff about CFS and Craig Cook. Go to their website and the message is loud and clear ‘Accept Cookies’. They can’t make it much clearer than that. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 2 or 3 years ago CFS used to attend every week and sponsor at Poole - meetings and riders - but had a falling out with Matt Ford and vowed never to come back. and they haven't - even when Swindon visited. I hadn't heard about the CFS/Cook split which is why I had previously stated Cook would never sign for Poole (although I don't think MF gets on with him either!?)

hagonshocker Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Haha the conspiracy theorists on here!!!! Hilarious but the usual suspects at large....track took a pounding yesterday and with more expected later it looked a risk what with the first corners still needing time to bed in , as for the CFS/Cook s**t who cares 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Oh and just saw shovlar being quoted by someone still taking utter crap i see.....he has the mentality of a teenage football fan absolute moron and the fact he thinks Poole is a good track when well prepared is irrelevant as it never is these days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasnt been prepared properly for a very long time.Is the racing good with or without the holes on the first bend??? they are that big they could end up burying you there in the future.

noggin Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I was out in that deluge yesterday and the drains couldn't cope, floods everywhere, so how do these experts think a newly changed racetrack with next to no time to bed in will cope, guess they would rather it goes ahead, abandoned after a heat thus pissing off more punters, been showery most of the day, correct decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
