The Aussies At Glasgow

Recommended Posts

I think most people would agree that both Jaimon Lidsey and Zaine Kennedy did themselves proud in the Under 21 at Glasgow on Saturday.

Does anyone know if either, or both of those riders are eligible for a Work Permit?

they most certainly are not.

However, in the event of an amalgamation of the 2 divisions maybe there should be negotiations re work permits for non EU riders, if only for a year or 2 to make up for a perceived shortfall of riders. Another half dozen young Aussies wouldn't go amiss in such an event

Surely once we are out of the EU, we revert to treating our commonwealth cousins with the respect they deserve, thousands lost their lives in 2 world wars fighting for our freedom.

you would think so but there is much antipathy towards immigration in the country from wherever and work permits are tight at the moment.

This of course applies to doctors, gas engineers, etc etc as well as speedway riders.
