Clubs are the ‘ sponsor ‘ so they need an employment permit , then the rider needs a visa to work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt Mr Godfrey's super 16 includes any 8 point non work permit riders. Then if Newcastle can't employ Vissing that would be us looking for two riders at a combined average of c17 points, who don't require a work permit........ realistically the Diamonds need the points limit reduced to be competitive. Does anyone know what the situation is regards permits for doubling up riders? Do both clubs need a license or if Vissing got a Premiership slot (as he was being touted for recently) could he ride for Newcastle using the visa from the other club? That might solve the problem and might mean we can sign another 'Johnny Foreigner'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they can't get anyone else and have to declare a side 3, 4 or 5 points under the build level... which has major implications for crowd retention if they struggle to be competitive... The crucial factor will be if Rob Grant can successfully get a sponsors licence for the new season and if not what the best options are for putting out a competitive team... Unless you have heard something lewy... Regards THJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,780 Posted December 8, 2020 There used to be a 'minimum' points limit. Does that still exist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brough Diamond 60 Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Claus will be able to apply for Frontier Worker status as EU citizens who have been regularly employed or self employed in the UK can continue to do so. The 2 new lads have never worked in the UK so can’t. This would allow us to potentially sign an EU citizen who has ridden in the UK regularly. This is different to a new work permit.

Was on the news at the weekend Cheers. Firstly for the informed response but also for letting me know it might be okay to watch the news again if they're reporting facts again instead of predictions (that stop me going for a pint) Another good fb post from the promoter. Why the bloke hasnt just walked I'll never know. Might not end up with a competitive team but it's an interesting one for sure. Look forward to seeing it in action, fingers crossed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
