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. Kings and Cubs meeting will be without the Thompsons and Ryan Kinsley, who are on CL play-off duty. Play-offs take precedence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's outrageous really, what Godfrey has done is cheat in the quarter finals of the league play offs. If he knew Ellis wasn't available he shouldn't have accepted the match or accepted the fixture with no facility. There was a rumour that he was also going to accept the fixture on the previous Sunday, again without Ellis. It remains to be seen whether Ellis rides tomorrow or whether a facility will be granted. In any credible sport Scunthorpe would probably be given a points penalty next season and a hefty fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I see they've invented a rule to try and let Godfrey off the hook "Ellis was unavailable for Saturday’s postponed meeting and the inclusion of Jye Etheridge in his position was under the ‘no facility’ regulation whereby a club can only use a guest with an average at least 25% lower than a rider who is absent for reasons other than those which qualify for a full guest or R/R facility." Doesn't take away the fact that somebody is lying though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take away the fact that somebody is lying though! Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the referee make Scunthorpe change their guests around and r/r moved to 5 for Ellis? That's what it shows on updates website anyway so that particular excuse also sounds like BS Or they originally declared R/R for Ellis at 1 then referee made them change it? So that all sounds like an excuse made up after the event to me Edited October 11, 2021 by Jaizer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Kennedy signed but then had to sign someone else as he would not be there in time? How long was it before it was said D Thompson missing with "mystery" illness? Was it not Poole that signed TWO riders who were not available but used the rules to their advantage with guests? Who said Ellis was ill? Adam? No His Dad? No The Scorpion website? No http://scunthorpe-speedway.com/?p=13714 Rob Godfrey? No Gail Godfrey(co-promoter)? No Scunthorpe Scorpion's Press Officer? No Leicester's website preview? No http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/news.php?extend.31835.1 So only on the BSP Ltd website & here on the forum are posters saying "supposed" illness. So who is to blame for the mis information? Possibly "keyboard warriors" who hate almost every thing of Scunthorpe/Godfrey notification. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
