ch958 2,395 Posted March 11, 2018 I bet he's far from the only one. Wonder if any other riders would care to comment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its safe to say that there was more than Kelvin Tatum that was owed money by former club owner Lindon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted March 12, 2018 Unfortunately the accounts for Lakeside Hammers are not very positive and make sorry reading. Losses of £16,670 during 2015 and £71,461 in 2016. Amounts owing to creditors up from £49,988 at 31.12.15 to £93,485 at 31.12.16 Net worth £88,031 negative at December 2016 Let's hope that last year was able to make a positive contribution and make some inroads into this.

Its easy to calculate what someone has earned during a meeting, especially now with computers. Cash may not be the wisest now but money transfers are no problem. I remember the Tim Stone days at Newport where he used to come into the bar after the meeting to give the riders a brown envelope. He always looked even angrier than usual after a big home win... which wasn't often in fairness! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midland Red 2,383 Posted March 12, 2018 Shouldn't there be a proper, official, investigation into Kim's claims Surely the SCB and/or the ACU should get involved It needs stamping out Would be interested to know whether Philip Rising's magazine would care to take the lead on this It is, after all, speedway news, and that's what Speedway Star is there to report Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year almost certainly made the financial position worse which led to the sale of Adam and Zach to Swindon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
