After ready pages and pages of vitriol the only thing I’ll say is that Adam presented his racing schedule (as all riders do) before he signed. Before he turned a wheel for Scunthorpe it was always known he had a meeting yesterday. Ok boys and girls you can get back to your bïtching now, but maybe try to think a little before you all slag off on a rider

Why haven’t Leicester chosen to ride on Friday evening? No clash and keeps all fans happy. They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid.

Wouldn't worry about it those complaining are those who want to stick the knife into speedway and it's organisers .

Choosing 2 riders who haven't ridden the track for 3 years instead of one who is racing it most weeks including twice in last 7 days and is track record holder.

Robert Simon or & Butler?

No Conspiracy theory, the facts are the Rob Godfrey allegedly said Adam Ellis was ill, when in fact according to the riders dad he knew all along that Adam Ellis was unavailable for this meeting due to other commitments, that in itself is bad enough but to have have come from the BSPL Chairman makes it even worse. Now the Teams for tomorrow ?.

Thought the SON was a two day event, both Saturday and Sunday.

Not a question for Ellis ask Godfrey.

The purpose of showing speedway on Eurosport is for them to show as many adverts as possible.

Might be a good time to clarify the format and some of the rules. Day 1 21 heats scoring 4, 3, 2, 0 under U 21 rider must ride in 1 heat Day 2 1st day scores are added to day 2 another 21 heats and the U 21 rider must take 1 ride. At the end of the 42nd heat the leading team go to the final(race 44). next best 2 teams go in race 43 to decide who gets to the final. The team who win the final win the title.(2nd and 3rd beat 1 and 4) Any starting offence warnings are not carried over from day 1 to day 2. U 21 riders are not allowed to replace riders excluded for a starting offence.

For me this should be a resignation offence for Godfrey, he has clearly lied to his clubs loyal supporters there's no way this man should be in charge of British Speedway. I will not be attending Scunthorpe Speedway again while this man is in charge of the sport. He's mugged off his own clubs supporters, he's mugged off Leicester fans and he's put the British Champion in an untenable position.

What else is new?

I think it will be poole glasgow final in the league anf the cup

When prepared slick on the inside there is no better racetrack...

Sorry I’ve got a work night out and the guest options for me are vastly inferior.

Some promoters and fans (including members of this forum) complained that no facility (which meant an NL rider effectively with a 3 pt average) unfairly penalised their teams so the 'non-guest guest' rule was slipped into the rulebook a couple of years ago (with I think little fanfare) On the matter of Adam Ellis' "illness" I think that unless someone can demonstrate with a degree of certainty that Rob Godfrey claimed he was ill then I think it is time to move on.

But apart from that night, (and all the other times he has been there)... Has he ever ridden the NSS...? To be fair to the selectors it will be one of those decisions that will either look great or look poor... A 50/50 call which Lamberts performance will determine if proven to be correct or not.... Dan could easily do as well, or as badly.... Best of luck to all three representatives...

Why you wasting time on here instead of doing your homework ?

So Adam's father has confirmed he wasn't ill so I take back what I said about him, Godfrey has been outed as a liar I wonder what the truth is regarding aarnio,needs to be an enquiry and Godfrey should be fined and removed from the mc imo.

If the track is slick. Aces win If it's like last week. Then panthers have a chance

Perhaps as, I assume the director of a company, he should be aware that the director of another company is telling lies about him in public. Or perhaps he'll just keep quiet about things and be complicit in the deceit and continue to take the coin. Instead of coming on here and having a go at the paying punters who have supported the club Adam has been a part of all year you should make him aware of the situation and maybe as a professional Speedway rider and British Champion he can release a statement? Angry, not especially, I've come to expect these kind of shenanigans now, that's why I'm making fun of the situation as it's all a bit of a joke isn't it... disappointed yes. Nobody comes out of this particularly well

Steve like you have said in the past don't matter what team you have got in the semi's or the final to be winner's you got to bet them all, and deep down I'm sure this Team will do just that Steve.

How about a mixture of both scoring systems?? Up to & including the semi finals it's all points scored during the meeting. Just those in the final are:- 1st - 25pts 2nd - 21 3rd - 19 4th - 18

Most local private ambulance services will not touch speedway with a barge pole due ti the high risks involved they are happy to do school fates , concerts etc . Mention 4 men on bikes doing 50mph+ without brakes they say thanks but no thank you it’s simply not worth the risks.
