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. One final comment then- Are the Scunthorpe promotion denying a press release was issued late on Friday(8th) naming Ellis as ill and RR was being used to cover his absence ??

Big Al Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 So sometimes the truth is distorted for commercial reasons. And clearly was in this instance. For the overall purpose of preventing some, number unknown and unspecified, from deciding not to attend. Big deal, if anyone is shocked by this, they're not living in the real world!

It's 2021, it's not a newspaper, they could easily have altered it...

Happy Hunter Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 If its rained off tonight some thinking outside the box will be required. How about Poole running a double header tomorrow against Lions and Scorpions? If Leicester score more points than Scorpions Lion's ride Poole at home on Saturday. If Scorpions score more points than Lions then they host Poole on Friday. Simples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
