Poole had booked Ellis for the second leg. It is not Poole's fault that Kings Lynn booked Ellis in the first leg, causing the issue. Why on earth should Poole be blamed? They did the right thing. But Lynn refused to drop Ellis from the first leg and find another guest, which would have been for the good of the sport. They wanted Ellis in both legs, even though he was booked by the opposition.
So Lynn asked Poole if Poole could use Morris in both legs and they could have Ellis. A meeting yesterday morning with the MC and SCB confirmed that this was fair and for the good of the sport.
Poole are actually the innocent party in all this. It won’t make an iota of difference to many on here as they will use it to blast Poole. But why do you think Poole gave up Ellis tomorrow night?
Should they have told Lynn to take a jump and we would have Morris and Ellis swapping sides? Think that would have been a far worse scenario.
