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. :o

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.

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!

I can see kennett and Vissing taking legal action for loss ofIt was Cook’s reaction which started the melee which prompted their actions. 

The reaction of the wayward marshal started the melee.

Its also a fact that the Marshal put himself in danger that started the melee.

Im not standing up for Cook in the slightest, but too many guilty parties involved and unfair penalties dished out.

The only thing I am shocked about is the poor level of ant-Cook bile on here. I really expected much more,

why we all know what Cook is, the verdict is what those who made the decision are....leave it there!

majority of speedway fans don't like Cook or SCB..

nothing changes except opinions more cemented and polarised.

only winners may be Eastbourne as they'll get huge crowd if and when Cook reappears there although he'll no doubt have an excuse or an even bigger strop

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..

Given the outcome and what most people seen in the video footage ,the only thing shocking is that Vissing and Kennett got a ban.

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.

Cook put many people in danger by riding his bike through the pits. I saw it. 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.

Shameful decision by SCB.

No reason given for the decision.

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.
