screm Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Craig Cook was a very decent rider about three stone ago, sadly he`s a shadow of the rider he used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 He's still averaging 9 points a meeting for Edinburgh so he's doing well in that respect. Didn't get to see him ride at Poole due to him being out injured. Maybe his mental health issues plague him at times and in that respect the authorities should stop him from riding for a period as he could be a danger to others as well as himself. The recent incident at Edinburgh with the photographer certainly won't av helped him. The start of this thread certainly could've been said in a more subtle way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtiger Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think we should cut Craig some slack, ok he’s not at his best but credit where it’s due he’s been a really good rider and gave it his best shot. Give him a break. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry1603 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 None of us know what's going through his mind at the moment, so let's just let him sort himself out and decide his future over the winter. Riders like Shawn Moran and numerous others knew when the time was right to quit, if Cookie's reached that point then good luck to him and thanks for the memories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Boy does this guy need help outside of speedway. He's now been suspended for withholding his services for Edinburgh. I think he needs to do himself (more importantly than the speedway world) a favour and call it a day. Its no good him relying on speedway for an income because he is unfortunately unemployable. When Leicester re-opened in 2011, I got back into speedway and Craig was the dog's B*ll*cks around BP and I dreamed of seeing him in Lion's colours. Times have changed and I prefer to remember those days before this sad demise. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
