Yes, I saw Mark Jenkinson and family watching a few times over the last couple of seasons. He also did a bit of sponsorship by sponsoring a fence board. So maybe Josh wants to do his bit and help the Comets. If anyone knows him they should maybe mention it to him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbend123 Posted Friday at 06:43 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:43 PM I really hope the Comets have a replacement for Cook could be a long and uncomfortable season. Hold tight folks next season team is running on a shoe string.. Rumours the club is in financial ruin and this could prove it. Workington will not replace Cook to same standard or above.

These do not sound like the words of someone who is a true supporter. Before going into print with baseless personal opinions may I respectfully remind you that such rubbish could affect the club in a negative way. Don't forget that Andrew and Steve offered Craig a team place last season when no other club would and in doing so also led the way to a Premiership position and have put him in a very favourable position for getting a team position in both leagues next season. There will be reasons why Craig isn't back and although a loss speedway goes on and i'm sure the team put together will be competetive.

Neila Posted Friday at 08:45 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 08:45 PM Got to admit a bit disappointed that Craig is not returning, but we move on, got a great track to watch whatever team is put together, let's get behind Andrew, Steve and Co, get behind the team and turn up in numbers every week, win lose or draw UTC 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted Friday at 08:52 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:52 PM Craig let himself down missing the ben fund and the comets team later when he was fit just didnt turn up i suspect steve and andrew had enough we will wait and see who can replace him? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget Posted Friday at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:00 PM (edited) I still can't believe how rediculas this actually is. Letting one of the best riders in the league leave whos lives on the doorstep. The fact that a deal had been agreed verbally makes it even worse. What are the promotion thinking? Watch for crowds dropping even further next season. Got disaster written all over it. Edited Friday at 09:02 PM by Midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch for crowds dropping even further next season. Got disaster written all over it. The club will have reasons for letting Craig go and thats the harsh reality. Maybe a few off track issues may not have helped like running R/R at Redcar in a crutial meeting. Speedway is a numbers game and while the numbers dictate teams that maybe give the club no option. Whatever 7 the promotion put together will have my full backing. Im sure that whatever team represents the Comets we will be behind them come April. 2 minutes ago, scaramanga said: is it untrue promotion often kept preaching to the converted about needing more paying guests and plenty tails of people wanting payment last year yes there is always such rumours in speedway us paying fans will never know which rumours are true or malicious Naturally speedway is an expensive sport to run and promote which if you read each clubs pages they all would love more paying customers. We have one MASSIVE selling point.. Our Track. It is widely regarded as one of the best in British Speedway and a blueprint many current or lost clubs could only dream of. Looking forward to seeing our team release over the coming months. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
