mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 5, 2014 What's happened with Fisher then? Missed this story. Himself & his family went back to America to visit family over Xmas but due to the sale of Coventry Speedway it changed his visa. After applying for new ones, Ryan was allowed back into The UK but not his wife and children. He has been separated from them since then which is why he was emotional at Poole when saying hello to them on sky and emotional after Tue Peterborough win. He had considered quitting speedway in England. He's spending over £10,000 trying to get them back, legal costs etc. Now his family are allowed to live in Poland but need £2500 to get there from America which is why there is a collection to support him.

X His family can live in Poland because most of them are now in Britain. Oh the irony!! Good luck to Fish. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Ridiculous situation. who is the Coventry MP? He should be on to this. Edit. Just looked it up. Jim Cunningham, a bloody Labour MP. You can probably forget him. Edited May 5, 2014 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques 3,114 Posted May 5, 2014 Ridiculous situation. who is the Coventry MP? He should be on to this. Edit. Just looked it up. Jim Cunningham, a bloody Labour MP. You can probably forget him. He lives in Staffordshire, he's already said he'll be in touch with his local MP. No idea who it is though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbee 510 Posted May 5, 2014 Just seen on the website that there's a collection for Ryan Fisher; to pay for his air tickets to reunite him with his family for a short while. Suffice to say, if anyone can point me in the right direction of who's organising the collection, I'll willingly donate some dosh tonight to get the ball rolling. The situation his family are in is nothing short of a farce. read it properly the collection is so Ryan's family can move to Poland to live so Ryan will be a lot closer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 5, 2014 Love this years Bees team as all want to ride for the bees and provide excitement. If we can get them all riding to their potential we could be a force home and away. Lakeside also got a strong team this year. Good to see them doing well after everything they went through as a club losing Rico. (although hopefully they wont be ad good tonight ) x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted May 5, 2014 Word of advice to anyone going to Brandon tonight - wrap up warm! I've been to the local Animal Aid dog show this afternoon to give them a bit of support and although it might look nice outside it's damn chilly so will be ten times colder tonight. Hoping for a Bees win by a enough to stop Lakeside getting a bonus point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 5, 2014 Sunny with blue skies at the moment. Agree its a bit cold when wind blowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted May 5, 2014 Light rain for Brandon 8pm-9pm according to low res predicted rainfall radar, probably not enough to hamper the riders though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
