Badge Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 So who was/were his British team/s in 15, 16 and/Or 17 then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Was he not at Lakeside in 2015 & 2016? Leicester 2017 but he says they're all up to date Edited March 9, 2018 by Reliant Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ore Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Reads to me that he is owed money from each of those years in either England and/or Sweden. As he is not owed anything by Leicester it suggests the sterling debt is from 15 and 16 and at least part of the Swedish sum was due last season, but not by Vargana. He is therfore owed sterling from his time at Lakeside, whether it was from one or two seasons. Respect again to Damien Bates.. Disrepect to the others.

topaz325 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Seems to me is if you cannot pay the riders the club should not be in business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dyer Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 If I had signed to ride for Lakeside in 2018, having seen this, I would be reading my contract very closely and ‘having a chat’ with the promoter NOW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Bearing in mind the dates he is quoting, he must be fed up of asking to be re-imbursed to make this public. So not good enough by these clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Speedway being speedway, I wouldn't trust promoters. They have the air of a used car salesman, rogue trader about them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Perhaps we're now seeing the real reason why Lakeside went National League :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 not small sums of money. More clear evidence of clubs paying far more than they can afford. A non league or league 2 footballer playing in front of speedway size crowds wouldn't get such sums. Nor would they commute from another country to play Riders deserve every penny they get but if the money isn't there we should be going semi pro Also should the club who owe the money be allowed to come to the tapes in 2018 in ANY division? Are we too scared to lose a club that we turn a blind eye? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 About £85 k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) I remember Peter Nahlin being owed money during his short time with Belle Vue. Turned up for one match, refused to ride until cash was forthcoming, which it wasn't, then left the stadium and didn't ride for the club again.. keeping a nice set of team kevlars as booby prize. That was 2000 (the year, not cash owed), Belle Vue had gone something like eight weeks without a home match due to track problems and were cash shy. Could understand Nahlin's stance though, as riders take huge risks and do not deserve any sort of problems with their pay.

mikebv Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) 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..

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
