I was at Redcar that night along with many other Comets fans. We were only given a facility to use Rider Replacement because of the goodwill of the referee. It seemed that the club only found out Craig wasn't coming about an hour before tapes up having reportedly been informed by Dayle Wood. The travelling fans were not happy. It just seemed very unprofessional.

Totally agree with your views,he was out of order that night and the fans and promotion deserved better, He also pulled out of the Ben Fund meeting and never even bothered to even show up. Craig says in his statement without injuries we could have made the final, we were never going to beat that Poole team so the team managed without him at the end of the season just fine with decent guests. 

Great rider when his head is in it but every season at some point he goes missing which is fustrating for the fans and promotion. 

Berwick the latest club to give him a go next.

Cook confirmed at berwick. 

still can't get my head around why we would release him an keep batchelor. Absolute ludicrous decision. 

If the team im hearing is correct it's got disaster written all over it for the future of workington speedway

Would like to know what team you are hearing Midget. Disaster is a strong word.

I’ve liked Cook since he first started with the Comets and hoped/expected him to be still here. Bachelor is a good rider though and had some great wins, yeh be  good to hear who is coming. Expect there’ll be announcements next week. Hope so!!

Probably the same made up news as he said about Cook going to Redcar

There seems to be this strong core of older fans in Workington who love to spout negative Chinese whispers about the club. We’ve had all sorts in the past few weeks, even the referee’s box had burned down the other week.

I just don’t get it? Where were these moans directed when we didn’t have a club, football or rugby?

Big pressure on Tate Zischke this season as it looks like he will be starting at 5

Pretty sure he's up to it, as long as his injury is fully healed. By far the most exciting new rider to British speedway this year.

Yes and no for me he rode at 2 most of last season but scored well especially at home but you’ve got to remember this league has lost another few heat leaders so it’s slightly weaker again.

What makes a whisper Chinese? No need for that this is 2024 not 1974
