A part of the Speedway Meeting Certificate states:-

We being the TEAM CAPTAINS certify that all monies due to each member of the Team have been paid as per the Riders Agreement except as listed below.

 

And if the captain refuses to sign the club assigns a new captain. Happened many times.

During the years Kim said he wasn't being paid Lakeside had the same captain all the time,  before that it was Dave watt for three years, neither are exactly shrinking violets if something needs to be said, so whatever the full facts behind Kims issue, swapping captains around was not part of it.

IF it is Lakeside that owe the money, they should be forced to clear their debts before they are allowed to run in 2018. Its disgusting ...

Owing money is alleged to be commonplace in which case there could be several clubs 'not allowed to run' in 2018.

Maybe Scott Nicholls has had a lucky escape?

Always wondered why riders don't stand together more when payment isn't forthcoming..

No riders, no Speedway meeting...!

Didn't Captains once have to sign something to say that all money was paid and up to date..?

Sadly, you sometimes think that some riders would jump at the chance of taking a guest booking to replace another who takes a (ludicrously unfair) 28 day ban for "withholding his services" rather than standing as a collective to get a fair deal..

The Captains of Both Teams still have to sign that they have all been paid whilst they have ridden for their own Team  or unpaid by other teams when they have been riding away  or in Individuals

Exactly.

I personally think Nahlins stance is the correct one, if owed money for more than a week or two they should refuse to ride.

there would be a lot of riders not riding

I can remember a few seasons back when Ipswich went to another prominent club and had not been paid for their previous match away there a months previously . So sometimes it is not the fault of the promoters because they have not been paid either

self employed is a job where you don't get paid , working for Carrillion is another , being a woman who should have retired at 60  but has had an extra 6 years of work added at the last minute , maybe you could ask one of those people how they pay their bills 

 

how does this add to the debate?

The problem Peter Nahlin had was, after not riding in the night in question, he was banned for 28 days by the BSPA for withholding his services.

Which prevented him earning money for the rest of the season

In which case riders should consult a solicitor, this just isn’t on and it’s only the fact that it’s not being tested that the BSPA keep getting away with it.
