Mike0310 660 Posted April 14, 2021 Exactly the above posts are giving riders who are available so they are out there,I appreciate some teams may not be as strong but someone’s got to finish top and someone will finish bottom just to see speedway this year is the bonus we should all hopefully get ,and we should all hold on to that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An announcement that Henderson insurance is a sponsor again in the current climate would be a massive positive. Without sponsorship then maybe no speedway.

Based exclusively in the UK for the shortened season. Has the knowledge of the tracks and the workings of the UK scene. Should be ahead of the UK riders having had reasonable track time down under during the pandemic. Ability to add a couple of points to his 4pt start average. A good solid signing for the times we are in. Welcome "the Chunk" ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but it will read like war and peace and some of it will be guess work so check this out and look at Sportsperson Visa (T2) and Frontier Worker Permit and you will get a feel for the issues faced by Promoters and Riders... oh and the answer you are looking for will be on there... Brexit has made it really tough for these promoters that's for sure... https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan555 144 Posted April 15, 2021 Well Josh Macdonald it is seems to have done well over winter in Aussie and hopefully can bring some form over here. I’m sure Rob will let him practice as much as he wants so should at least get a few practice sessions in and get a solid base to work off in the Eddie Wright Raceway !

So I hope the home fans do continue to support the team. I’ll be there regardless as it’s an exciting race track. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
