Workington might struggle with riders once word of mouth gets around that they are bad payers 

If they are aiming to pay out what comes in without going into debt, that doesn't make them "bad payers" imo.

I'd argue clubs paying out more than they can afford is bad for the sport. If not enough fans come in to afford riders having multiple bikes tuned to greatness, then so be it. Riders can't demand what's not there.

I remember hearing Jordan Jenkins left Redcar for Oxford because Oxford paid a lot more, what did that gain then?

Besides once the other clubs are filled the rest will know it's Workington or bust (if it came to that).

You do have a point, however, I don't necessarily think it's always about being paid more money, but about being paid what they are owed?

Rider doesn’t turn up for a meeting, withholds his services without informing the promotion what’s going on, and it’s the promotions fault?

If I was in that position I wouldn’t be paying them a penny either!

Viv muddle came over with Tate last year. He has been getting at least a few pointers from Darcy Ward this year. Does he qualify for a visa? Could he be the comets next up and coming Aussie?

It seemed nailed on they'd both be at Worky next year. Can't see them not being in the same side
