if Kyle doesn't want to ride for Workington he wont be, and if Workington try to stop him riding I think it could be classed as a restriction of trade, especially as Workington don't own him, in the way the no speedway clubs really own riders

Under what employment law

SCB regulations, which all involved parties have agreed to uphold.

From the preface of those regulations;

"The fact that rules made by a Sports Governing Body have legal authority and are upheld in our courts is
not always appreciated; therefore Promotions (including all its Members and/or Directors), riders, all
persons, licensed or otherwise authorised to enter, participate or officiate at Speedway Meetings are
legally bound by them."Ā

They are self-employed but clubs own riders registrations which is offset against the BSPA bond which is why it is beneficial for clubs to have assets.

Ā 

In this case Workington have Howarth as a club asset so any club wanting to have Howarth in there team would need to agree with Workington, hence why Howarth saying himself it is up to Workington.Ā

They won't they will ask in all likelihood if he wants to ride for them but if the rider declines then he is circulated as available for loan or as may happen a full transfer.

They are. The averages are split into bands, and each band has a rate, more for the higher bands.

According to the Sheffield Star, the Comets either want Kyle to ride for them, or sell him, but not go on loan. Kyle wants to ride for Sheffield, so things are currently in deadlock.
