Tsunami Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 24 minutes ago, HGould said: 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. The fact that it is just stated as "a fine" without the amount definitely means the level of fine is not substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Method Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 You can only laugh at this point... This was always going to be the outcome, as soon as the appeal was made. At this point, it really does feell like the last drops of water are being squeezed out of the washcloth for the people involved and everyone is just trying to milk as much out of the remaining few seasons as possible.

stevec Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 This is just unbelievable. Yu could....and we did, go on for days aurguing over who started it, how it happened, why it happened, was it provoked etc etc but it is a FACT that Cook thew a punch and was involved and was the main culprit, hence the original ban being longer. How the hell can he get away withoit a ban. This is the SCB at its worse and a fingers up to fairness! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not standing up for Cook in the slightest, but too many guilty parties involved and unfair penalties dished out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Given the outcome and what most people seen in the video footage ,the only thing shocking is that Vissing and Kennett got a ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really expected much more, I think most will not really be bothered either way.. British Speedway can get you like that.. Good luck to Craig, if the system allows it then fair play to him for escaping a ban.. It certainly won't resonate outside of the tiny GB Speedway bubble so no harm done to the Sport.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not shocking in the slightest. They were equally as culpable. What’s now shocking is that the outcome has very different outcomes for them to what Cook has now received.

He was so close to some people. That wasn’t on the various videos shown on social media and I agree there is a reason why bikes aren’t permitted to be ridden in the pits. Cook is most definitely to blame for his part. It no less excuses the behaviour of others involved or the have a go (none) hero Marshall.

No transparency from the SCB. How do they justify the ban for Kennett and Vissing? Ho much was the fine? Sadly i did say that they had something up their sleeve here. Scb should be having words with those that have cocked up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissing's appeal was rejected, Kennett didn't appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
