IronScorpion Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Godfrey has always stuck to his beliefs in that ..... "if you want to ride for Scunthorpe, this is what I pay & on time". This is why, I feel that, when we have guests they ride for us & not race for us. I can not remember who said that Drew had asked for a 10k signing on fee or 2 bikes but Rob would not do that, never mind how desperate he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh1218 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I don’t know why Rob Godfrey gets a bad press Scunny made two changes to the side , the rider they brought in scored 5 pts iN 5 meetings so he made another change and I’ll guarantee the other 8 promoters in the league would have done exactly the same 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Poland have decided it is okay when he is on a break. Be interesting to see if he stays at Scunny when he is back riding for his Polish team.

IronScorpion Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I was surprised that he, & Dougy, have a 5 week break then I checked the Polish fixture to find free weeks & 2 bye weeks because of the odd number of teams. Signed for 28 days so we will have to find out what Drew, Rob & the Poles want to do next. It might benefit all parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how he signs soon as there is a break but not before. And Poland not going to want him to be sitting around. Him getting meetings in UK in 5 week break keeps his match fitness up and benefits them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but Poland don't 'allow' or prevent a British rider from riding in their own county's league(s). Maybe they discouraged it and he was to weak to argue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words he would have been too weak to call their bluff. In any case I'd have thought it would be in their interests for him to be racing more often than once a week.

Your not talking about a GP rider here… id imagine that after they finished laughing at him they would move on pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he wasn't particularly bothered rather than they insisted that he didn't anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
