Take away the off track problems and Cook is and has been one of the best riders the league for years. The bloke is quality and bangs in points wherever he goes.

 Still a solid 8 -9 PT rider annually. Or I should I say, what he is riding now isn't as quick imo

Last year Craig was listed on here nailed on signing for Redcar, now this year (in the last few hours) it's Berwick, Redcar and Plymouth.

Don't let a cryptic tweet fool you, which is proabably where someone has made it up from 👍

Cant see him back the way the end of the season went. Batch is far superior coupled with a fresh static were on for a good season.

Well a 40 point limit to work with. Better news is we’ve got the pairs on the 5th April. Now to see some announcements.

Some sensible decisions like having the Pairs and PLRC early season over same weekend weather permitting of course.

Would have rather seen either dropping the BSN and having 2H/2A or just a North and South league. Still an issue of potentially too few fixtures for some teams.

Like the 40 point limit .

Yeah agree with the lack of fixtures. Seems they don’t want to do anything about it. The riders championship early doors is a bonus. Last year at Redcar was a joke. At least this way, bans can be imposed for pulling out.

It's not about peeing anyone off, Poole were insulated from the lack of fixtures experienced by some clubs last season. Looks like you are going to get another couple of fixtures minimum next season being included in the Premiership KO Cup.

The Premiership don't have a BSN Series wonder if that p!$$e$ them off. 

You never said anything about the idea of having a North and South BSN section. Sure the BSPA could have worked round 9 teams like they have with the Premiership KO Cup.

BSN could always sponsor the Championship KO Cup.

I actually suggested the North/ South BSN competition a few weeks back, notwithstanding that some clubs will lose money with more fixtures.

Got to agree BSN have brought more entertaining and wider coverage to the Championship. However, fans do not know what individual clubs have received in financial reward from BSN. 

More fixtures for BSN to televise should result in a bigger pot of money to be divided out to the Clubs should it not. However potential impact of supporters watching meetings at home for £11-99 or much less instead of attending away or home fixtures has yet to be fully ascertained imo.

Best and worst thing for the sport as it allows fans the chance to sit at home and watch a meeting for 12 pun with there family like i know happened with the play off semi final. On the positive note the exposure is awesome and gives less fortunate fans who dont go Home/Away the chance to follow there team with a big fat pizza int house.
