Fair comment.

Although the reason I didn't put much in the preview for Saturday's meeting, e.g. I didn't put in a quote from Rob Godfrey, etc, was because the Scunthorpe team without Adam was quite weak and the less the club says, the less that becomes apparent. Although this wasn't a Scunny home meeting, it was Leicester's, and we don't know to say too much that much distract from their promotion of their meeting.

But it then became apparent that people had questions over Adam's absence that deserved an answer and by answering them after Saturday, rather than before it, we didn't damage Saturday's crowd.

As it is, tonight looks much more attractive and the sides are now much closer in terms of team strength, so it's an easier meeting for the Leicester promotion now to sell. Hopefully it will be a good meeting, even if it's pretty much already decided on aggregate.

 

Rob- how did the BSPA website in their preview published  on Saturday   http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.39740  have that Ellis was ill and RR was being deployed- did they make that bit up ??

Haha! Busted! I think you'll find there's a bit of a cover up going on in Godfreygate! They're so inept they can't even do that properly though :rofl:

The guy should resign!

When I spoke to Rob Godfrey, he didn't know where it had originally come from where Adam was reported as ill. Jye Etheridge had been booked on the basis that has average was 25% less than Adam's, because there wasn't a normal facility available for Adam.

As has been posted elsewhere on this thread, from Wembley Lion I think, that he was witnessed that the Scunny team manager, Dave Peet, telling the referee of the correct Scunthorpe line-up as booked, as the referee also had the incorrect line-up (the one on the BSPA website).

So why is Etheridge listed at 5 in the line-up in the preview- replacing one of the other riders missing- did they make that up as well !!

And who's in charge of the Leicester website and when did they change it and why?

Not sure that follows-the  BSPA press office can only get the information from the clubs own press releases- not sure Scunny are telling the truth and the whole truth.

They can't handle the truth!

I think there needs to be an SCB inquiry as to what's gone on here

That's going to be the same answer as before, isn't it?  And no-one has made anything up.  This was a re-scheduled meeting where the original programme was used. Scunthorpe had to make a change to that original line-up and the Scunthorpe team manager clarified that change to the referee before the meeting started.  

To be honest, this is now going around in circles. A full explanation has been provided. You can read it, and either realise it's a reasonable explanation or continue looking for some weird conspiracy theory which just isn't there.  It's up to you if you want to carry on, but I'm not.
