It was known that he was riding in France. you need to direct your anger elsewhere To be fair JTS I dont think there is too much 'anger' on here towards either Adam or the UK Promoters.. It's more resigned Mickey taking due to the fact that such things happen so regularly.. Riders clearly can't be in two places at once so the authorities should just explain why one is missing... And if any riders feels he has got misrepresented by that explanation then he should speak up with the real reason... That "let's make something up" culture has existed for far too long across the whole operating model, and unfortunately in todays 24/7 social media world, any clear evidence which clearly contradicts what is said is quickly put out to the world for all to see.. As you yourself have said several times.. The UK promoters cant even get a sponsor for their leagues after so many years of TV coverage.. No real surprise why that situation exists is there? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 What was the main reason he could not have done both meetings.?

iainb 5,017 Posted October 11, 2021 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. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted October 11, 2021 So what's situation for Tuesday? Is he eligible as the meeting never started. Or is he eligible because he wasn't ill. Or is he ineligible for 8 days with non speedway related illness. And I agree with iainb if Godfrey has lied about his situation in order to gain a facility his position is completely untenable and should be removed immediately 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no conspiracy theory though is there, somebody is telling lies and there should be an inquiry as it calls the validity of whole competition into doubt. 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. Edited October 11, 2021 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
