Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted January 22, 2015 Seems to me that a few Aussies need to become Polish citizens! A few need to become better speedway riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,356 Posted January 22, 2015 If Matt Ford and Poole want to build a team to a lower points limit, then let them... Everyone else can keep to the current points limit Yeh, and we'l still win it !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,364 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) surely holder could become a british citizen, he lives here most of the time, he has british partner and a son who was born here. To do that he'd have to marry her, then apply for a spouse visa. That would be dependant on his wife working and earning at least 18,600 per year. After that he'd have to stay in the uk and not go back to Australia in the winter. The spouse visa lasts 2.5 years. Then he'd have to apply for another one for another 2.5 years. Then he could apply for indefinite leave to remain, which is what Davy Watt apparently has. Then, and only then, could he apply for British Citizenship. So that's in 5 to 6 years time. Doesn't really help regarding this season. Edited January 22, 2015 by grachan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,062 Posted January 22, 2015 Jeez your anti poole swipes are getting rather boring. You are begining to sound just like Naijer in a different way, i think you two should get a room, you'd be suited.. you might even get to like eachother !! For the record, NO, Matt does not want to run with guests, its not really the way to win the league.. dear oh dear get a life mate. it will affect my team as well but them is the rules. any other clubs moaned? no just Ford chucking his toys out the pram. oh and do you know your club? guests isn't the way to win the league hahahahahhahahhahahahhahhahah. How many guests Poole use is a joke. Reputation as a club for horses for courses! Seem to remember certain Poles conveniently being injured one day and riding soon after when trips to Lakeside or Eastbourne came along. Try and get your facts straight mate. Can't be helped mate. Its not the way to win the league but needs must an all that. And any other club in the same position would have done the same thing. and then you backtrack yet again! troll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where has Matt Ford actually been moaning or asking for rule changes? I can't find any article on him saying this? It wasn't Matt Ford asking for changes in the points limit ....
