The Edinburgh management should make an official complaint about Cook.   Inciting fans to not turn up.   Totally out of order.

If fans didn't turn up, I would think the Edinburgh management should maybe look in the mirror first as to the reasons why...?

The reailty of course is that the punters who still attend are, by definition of being there, content with what they get served up, so I am sure they will attend regardless of who turns up to ride..

"Select teams" are pretty much the norm these days in the vast majority of matches..

And as for Craig Cook? If he has such impressive mind altering persuasive powers as to make others' mind's up to do things, he is wasting them riding a speedway bike...:D

Edinburgh struggling for a crowd this year and then put this on. Desperately seeking points. Home club should have said no go as visiting team are uncompetitive. Everyone should ignore monarchs bleating about poor crowds. 

Away you go… I’m sure we’d have a great crowd if we started cancelling meetings a couple hours before due to the line up changing. Muppet

But also to suggest as you are, that they didn’t try hard enough is very wide of the mark. The East Coast Main Line was actually CLOSED for a period today due to person being hit by a train. 

I didn’t suggest that; I merely pointed out that it wasn’t impossible as was suggested. All trains on the east coast mainline between Peterborough and Edinburgh from lunchtime onwards were on time or only very slightly delayed.

Everyone needs to calm their ** in here.

Celina and vissing unfortunately affected by Microsoft incident. We couldn't get any replacements and everyone chipped in. Vuolas adapted to the track eventually. Sam got a second and looked good in it. Cookie saved us the bonus point and troy done well too.

We got the bonus point, embarrassing edinburgh for not beating us by more, but they get a much needed win.

Btw, pickering show boating in the race with just richardson in it was a d*** move

another team and jim might have exclude him for thst display 

im sure years ago rusty harrison was excluded for very similar thing when there was only 2 riders left in rerun

How is it embarrassing we didn’t win by more? If you’re number one is taking 6 rides and on top form scoring 17 and backed up well by batch. The rest just had to finish their races to hit 30. We also lost our number 5 in his first race when well clear. IRR probably scoring less than he would’ve. 
 

Imagine going out and having fun on your bike shame on your picko.

Oxford, Ipswich & Plymouth have had to race without their number ones. Can't see the BSPL allowing Workington to postpone a match due to missing a second string & a reserve.

wouldnt expect it 

but others would 

ive never once said it should have been pulled

Because he was turning as he should have done while McGurk was pretty much going straight

That really is very unfair 

Sam is young rider who has had couple of incidents 

But there's many more riders out there that fit that comment well before Sam 

Both experienced and not so experienced

A bit unfair in this case imo he tangles with the rider in blue then just straightens up and runs into the side of sedgy no malice in that just a racing incident.

Ask danny king,Billy.

if you  are talking about the accident at northside , you must have been there . if not ,you must have been having a number 2 in  a loo . . at the time of the get together king was in front of young sam .  sam picked up on a soft spot on bend 4 and shot sam into the side of king .  if that is what danny king told you . how did he know sam done it on purpose  , do speedway bikes have mirrors on them now  ? . i / we await your side of the story  . poor,poor words from you . .
