thecoombdog Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Think any of us who have seen a similar situation at work where someone is in trouble and gets away with it will know exactly what has happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 A crazy decision, and it really is who you know and how much money you are prepared to spend. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 It would be unbelievable and a disgrace, other than it's no surprise. Stitch up and cover up. Sports a joke. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they justify the ban for Kennett and Vissing? How much was the fine? I would estimate Craig Cook faced a large fine. At least £5 in my estimation.

Grachan Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 An explanation as to why might have been useful. Seems unfair on the riders that did receive a ban. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Agree that SCB should give reasons but the other riders involved had the same chance as Cook to appeal, and didn't, so no sympathy from me. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No transparency from the SCB. How do they justify the ban for Kennett and Vissing? Ho much was the fine? And was the cheque signed by the facennas? We need to know how they reached this conclusion and the reasons. I can see kennett and Vissing taking legal action for loss of earnings. It was Cook’s reaction which started the melee which prompted their actions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Can only think that Cook has pictures of someone with influence hanging out of the back end of a donkey to have got away with this 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 The decision in itself is shocking. What makes it 1000x worse is the complete and utter contempt that The SCB show in the statement. No explanation of the reasons and issues behind the decision and no clarify about the amount of the Fine. So lets say as an example Kennett and Vissing lose 3-5k in earnings while banned. If Cooks fine is 5k or more at least an appreciation that he has lost earning and therefore being punished. To just say "fined" is just not acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old boys club make it up as they go along. No wonder the fans are leaving in their droves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 At last... Justice has been done... Everyone move along please, there's nothing to see here, mind you don't trip on that carpet we've lifted up to brush under on your way out.. Hope Craig sets up a 'just giving' page to help with the fine.. British Speedway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
