wealdstone 3,454 Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Maybe he had no money I am sure he would not have been asked to pay. This is not Belle Vue!!!!. Of course he could have been denied access to the buffet or if your theory is correct he could have had a few sarnies in lieu of wages.

Crump99 4,474 Posted October 30, 2017 Crap like this doesn’t help any club let alone one that that’s got an excellent reputation for paying its riders promptly. Thought you'd be used to it now Dick, we've had the same cobblers for many many seasons. I'd say that riders being owed money at some point during the season is pretty standard in speedway where cashflow for those paying the bills is less than consistent. It's a useful forum filler though when things are quiet: just say that someone is owed money! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair you are right but I do know that this sort of talk is damaging to clubs from previous experience. I am sure if this had any substance I would have heard but I can honestly say it’s generally the opposite, Ged’s got a very good name for paying his riders spot on when it’s due. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you seem to be categorically stating that you know BWD wasnt owed money and it isnt the case he only rode in the 2nd leg once paid and that any comments intimating as such were in jest.

I am no fan of Rathbone over the Holdergate affair but spurious and unsubstantiated allegations such of these help no one. Put up or shut up!!!. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly didn’t say anything about it Friday and I spoke to him for about 20 minutes, in fact other than Baldy I haven’t heard anyone mention it (all season) and like I said I think I would have known if their was any substance to it. Brad was talking on the mike for a while and he mentioned a lot of the crap he had read on the forums and it was just that crap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWD stated on Friday that a lot of rubbish about him appeared on forums, but said he had been unwell both physically and . mentally. It is beyond belief that he would have appeared voluntarily at the end of season bash had he had any issues with Panthers management. I put up already.. Have a read You quoted what you have heard. Unsubstantiated I would suggest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was BWD asked if any of forum 'stuff' true? Afterall he said "a lot" was rubbish.. whats a lot? 90% ? what about the other 10% Maybe BWD was there to pick up rest of monies owed?
