Leicester vs Scunny 9/10/21


Recommended Posts

BREAKING NEWS:

Adam Ellis today confounded medical science to race for his French team Morizes. The French ace romped to 13 points helping his side to an away victory. Government scientists are now seeking to question the British Champion to ascertain his miracle recovery from "illness" sustained at Sheffield on Thursday evening. They believe it may have been a dodgy pie but sources close to the Lourdes based Frenchman say that he has been drinking the spring water from the bottom of his garden... more news as we get it.

Ellis should be given a ban for start of next season. That's an absolute piss take. Bad enough second rate foreigners doing it but the British champion? Out of order

Don't forget the rest of this season too, he's still got to ride at Leicester on Tuesday... should be interesting to see what the next excuse is

Look I’m no Scunthorpe fan but that is disgusting if he’s done that then  the promoter needs his head examining if he selects him next year really poor that ,unless there’s a miracle medical certificate produced he should get a ban for the start of next season not this when he has no more meetings over here unless there is a miracle comeback maybe our British champion has got a bit to big for his boots.

Asking for a friend…….did Ellis just pull a sickie or was the promoter happy for him not to travel and save himself a few quid? 

Who's your friend, Rob Godfrey? :lol:

He obviously doesn't consider himself as part of a team, wonder what the rest of his team mates think of the situation.  No way should he be picked by whoever the Scunthorpe Promoter is as this is making him and whoever runs the BSPL  look really stupid for putting up with it.   Now I come to think of it the name Rob Godfrey springs to mind, is he that thick skinned that he does not realise the further damage this is doing to what might be left of Speedway

Even with 2 ambulances you would still only have 1 paramedic because thats what is required to run a meeting. Like tonight the paramedic was not the driver Usually private ambulances are driven by first aiders/ambulance drivers which are not qualified to treat like a paramedic. 

How much does the attendance of an ambulance cost? And do you know why on earth it was coming from the West Midlands?

The rest of his team mates had also taken the night off, so I wouldn't have thought they gave a toss either. 

To be serious for a moment though... this was a Play Off quarter final, their most important match of the season, it's sport and anything could have happened, seems like there wasn't much will there from the management either.

Just as an example:- From Strike Zone First Aid Event Cover:-

 It is not possible to give exact prices for our services as this will depend on the risk assessment however typical costs are:  £14/hr for 1st aiders,  £16/hr per medic and £12/hr for an ambulance to be on site. (All prices are subject to a minimum charge of £75, mileage is charged for distances beyond 25 miles)

7 x Medical Staff:- 6@£14 + 1@£16 + Ambulance@£12= £112 per hour! + Mileage!
