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). Who’s in charge of BSPA website and where do they get their information.It’s just the usual shambles.IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

lucifer sam 3,953 Posted October 12, 2021 35 minutes ago, racers and royals said: 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 !! 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 708 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!
