Weeyin 1,022 Posted January 21, 2015 Did not Jason Doyle have a tier 5 visa, which meant that he could only ride for one club in this country. I know Ty Proctor had to choose between riding for Wolves and Sheffield which would hint that he will be using a tier 5 visa. Maybe this is what the rest will have to do. nothing to do with tier 2 or tier 5 visas or which league they ride in , it seems unless they have residency or dual nationality , no non EU riders will get a visa, includes aussies ans americans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted January 21, 2015 So chop out the aussies who live here during the season, spending money which helps the economy, and pay their vat if not other taxes. And replace them with EU riders who fly in and out for each meeting and don't spend money here. Hardly helps the country. And I doubt there are 20+ British riders of an equivalent standard who don't have a team place and are waiting for the phone call. Not a good situation at all. Maybe the 42.5 limit will have to be reviewed and a lower figure introduced. So all teams would then be affected. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This could get messy, right down to the supporters demanding refunds on their season tickets for not getting the product that was advertised! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoda 81 Posted January 21, 2015 Heard that the visa's have been cancelled and need to re-apply , and will need to meet the criteria set by borders agency Ie must have finished in the top 4 of a state championship or have an average over 7 Or be the national champion or under 21 champion If this is true then it will only effect a few, and a lot of scaremongering in the process .

thebaron 434 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Let me just get this right; there 22 speedway riders (absolutely integral to the success of speedway in this country) barred from entering what is their Mother Country. What has HM Queen to say about this; lets be straight to the point I have more in common with Ryan Douglas than the 22000 illegals(and more) from the EU and Third World trudging the streets of Bradford. So what the hell is going on with the UKBA to bar skilled Commonwealth citizens from working here. Speedways not just any old job; we cannot find 22 riders of their standard just off the cuff. I would fiercely contend that their absence seriously damages Speedway PLC in the UK and each individual promotion that employed them. Where can Scunny find two riders to replace Ryan Douglas and Alex Davies. A guy I work with his son; announced he was off to Australia at Christmas; packs his bags and flies to Sydney. Only got A Levels and has found a job already he's no specialised skills or qualifications; but the Aussies have not kicked him out. What sort of Visa would he need to bum around in Oz for a year. My neice works in Sydney has done for two years. She has a degree in Sociology and works in their equivalent of BUPA in administration what sort of Visa is that?. So why are we discriminating against Australians. Think about football and all the useless EU and African players that rock up here; end up sitting around on benches on ££££s then disappear. How the hell do they get in. This needs taking to the highest level of protest; the Queen as far as I am aware is the Head of the Commonwealth; and has the power to over rule the useless UKBA. As far as I am aware the Commonwealth still exists (it did for the games last summer anyway) so I cannot see how the UKBA can prevent the free movement of Commonwealth citizens from one country to another provided they have a viable occupation to go to or can secure work on arrival. I am spitting feathers about this; I bloody am. Edited January 22, 2015 by the outsider 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
