emilali Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 Not good news for Berwick at all but in some ways at least its happened before the season has started so theres a little bit of time to replace him. Cant imagine he’ll get another gig in a speedway team after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 wonder if it'll open up a space for Jesse Mustonen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 To be honest he did not deserve a chance this season, he let Workington down badly last season not showing up at Redcar plus pulling out of the Ben Fund when nothing up with him. Stuart took a gamble on him for some reason but that's his chances for a team place surely over now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCS Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Hope Craig is ok and hope Berwick dont have to make more changes to the team to replace him. very unfortunate for one maybe two of the other lads if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Boy Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I wonder with the Oxford connections if Francis Gusts could be a short term option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 You would have thought that Berwick might have released some kind of statement surrounding Cook's availability 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the same when Rory pulled out as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may very well have been the case, but Schlein wasn't signed up by a PL club and letting them down on the eve of the season. The first anybody officially knew about it was the press release. We already know that Cook "will be unavailable to race at this time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert on the rules but wouldn't Berwick technically have to do the same as Poole and "officially" name a 7th rider? You can't start with guests can you.

Start with Cook technically in the team. Might be a way of "fixing" the situation. Do you actually get a financial fine for withholding your services? Depends on where Cook's head is at. What's to stop him from contacting the BSPA and saying "I'm not withholding my services, I've told them to remove me from the team"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
