Frustrating for all parties involved, but the paying fans especially. Berwick have found themselves in a difficult situation, but as a fan, I can’t help but feel disappointed by the explanation of ”unavailable”. Expand Very indecisive from Berwick Promotions.Just expecting Cook to turn up when he is ready to race seems a strange one. The season has started whether Berwick have started or not.Now that he is still unavailable to represent the Club he should be released.

Rather than someone suggesting I'm clueless. Although so far, no one has been able to suggest a better replacement than MPT (except a 75% guest) if MPT is such a bad suggestion, it should be easy for people to name stronger (realistic) signings right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand with what happened with Rory and now Cook is completely beyond their control, but just bloody communicate with the fans. Expand Totally agree with that.

Expand Although it seems extremely unlikely, maybe Cook is unavailable for pairs but will be ready for start of season!!!!. It seems very unfair to fans who booked a bus to the pairs expecting to see Kildemand (can't predict injuries) and Cook (whose participation has apparently been iffy for weeks or maybe months) riding. Without knowing all the facts, for the club to issue a statement regarding rider participation and without much clarity only 2 days before the event seems pretty pathetic and disrespectful to the fans. Maybe it's to do with legal reasons or maybe they genuinely haven't a clue what's happening. Either way it just looks bad. Anybody put their season ticket up for sale on ebay yet? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilali Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 Absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for Berwicks promotion. In my eyes they are just as culpable as Cook is. As soon as he let Leicester down he should have been released. Another complete shambles that can be added to an already lengthy list.

Would be very harsh on Dayle, similar to Scunthorpe dropping Joe T when Zaine Kennedy got injured pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
