And if the captain refuses to sign the club assigns a new captain. Happened many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Agrotron 955 Posted March 10, 2018 Disgusting not paying riders just shows how unprofessional the so called mickey mouse sport is 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,697 Posted March 10, 2018 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 ... 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted March 10, 2018 Owing money is alleged to be commonplace in which case there could be several clubs 'not allowed to run' in 2018. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

griffo 20 Posted March 10, 2018 20 hours ago, mikebv said: 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mickthemuppet 976 Posted March 10, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
