mikebv Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Jonny the spud said: He didn’t. It was known that he was riding in France. you need to direct your anger elsewhere To be fair JTS I dont think there is too much 'anger' on here towards either Adam or the UK Promoters.. It's more resigned Mickey taking due to the fact that such things happen so regularly.. Riders clearly can't be in two places at once so the authorities should just explain why one is missing... And if any riders feels he has got misrepresented by that explanation then he should speak up with the real reason... That "let's make something up" culture has existed for far too long across the whole operating model, and unfortunately in todays 24/7 social media world, any clear evidence which clearly contradicts what is said is quickly put out to the world for all to see.. As you yourself have said several times.. The UK promoters cant even get a sponsor for their leagues after so many years of TV coverage.. No real surprise why that situation exists is there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Another piss take , this time from possibly Britains worst ever national champion. Lob the book at him and give him a 10 meeting ban. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before he turned a wheel for Scunthorpe it was always known he had a meeting yesterday. Ok boys and girls you can get back to your bïtching now, but maybe try to think a little before you all slag off on a rider What was the main reason he could not have done both meetings.?

IainB Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 For me this should be a resignation offence for Godfrey, he has clearly lied to his clubs loyal supporters there's no way this man should be in charge of British Speedway. I will not be attending Scunthorpe Speedway again while this man is in charge of the sport. He's mugged off his own clubs supporters, he's mugged off Leicester fans and he's put the British Champion in an untenable position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 So what's situation for Tuesday? Is he eligible as the meeting never started. Or is he eligible because he wasn't ill. Or is he ineligible for 8 days with non speedway related illness. And I agree with iainb if Godfrey has lied about his situation in order to gain a facility his position is completely untenable and should be removed immediately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no conspiracy theory though is there, somebody is telling lies and there should be an inquiry as it calls the validity of whole competition into doubt. As for lineups, well, some fans somewhere are going to be mugged off again. Either Lions & Scorpions fans with the non appearance of Ellis and/or the Thompson twins. Or the Kings & Cubs fans with the non appearance of the Thompson twins. Edited October 11, 2021 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Conspiracy theory, the facts are the Rob Godfrey allegedly said Adam Ellis was ill, when in fact according to the riders dad he knew all along that Adam Ellis was unavailable for this meeting due to other commitments, that in itself is bad enough but to have have come from the BSPL Chairman makes it even worse. Now the Teams for tomorrow ?. Edited October 11, 2021 by heathen52 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time either, you've only got to look at his involvement in "Holdergate" at Peterborough. "Drunk on Power" is the immediate phrase that springs to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thé French meeting started at 10:30am as they club was running 2 meetings in a day. No flights available that would have got him there in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 So Adam's father has confirmed he wasn't ill so I take back what I said about him, Godfrey has been outed as a liar I wonder what the truth is regarding aarnio,needs to be an enquiry and Godfrey should be fined and removed from the mc imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
