Unless Cook has told Berwick he’s not riding then as far as I’m concerned there in nothing to report and it’s business as usual

Cook apparently hasn't told anybody anything... according to Stewart Dickson it was Cook's dad that called Dickson to deliver the news.

That's it, it was to do with bike covers or something wasnt it, at least that was Cook's side of the story. Either way, not the first time he's done this. He still turned out for his CL club though, but who knows this time?

I’m sure the fans will flock to Shielfield to see if he turns up on the 1st night.!!

They could literally have "The Masked Bandit" on parade and get the thousands on the terraces chanting:

Take it Off!

Take it Off!

Take it Off!

And then reveal if it's Craig Cook...

Or Rider Replacement for the season.

Strange that Stewart would just accept that and not try to contact Cook though.Thats Speedway though.Fans are afterthoughts.

Stewart has tried to speak to him on numerous occasions during the last fortnight and has been faced a wall of silence. Which is why i guess Cooks Father spoke to Stewart.

Bit awkward when hes going to be team manager at Berwick as well?

Cooks probably on another bender. If your team manager is trying to get hold of his number one and he isn't replying to him, surely the only solution is to get rid of him? Regardless of whether replacements are about on not, chances are he will be a no show for Berwick many times this season even if he does say he is starting the season.

If this is true and it turns out that Cook doesnt turn up at the first meeting then all 73 members of the Berwick promotion will deserve every bit of criticism they get.
