Of course rules are rules, cannot help but feel that the Aussie boys have been dealt a rum deal, but I suppose you look at the overall situation in this country regarding jobs and foreigners.

Have to agree gutted but not surprised. Looks like the Promotion were hoping that they could appeal on Taylor's behalf that due to injury he was unable to make the State Championship. But looks like the powers that be are sticking rigidly to the rules.

Time will tell, the deal that takes Kennett to Rye House is as good as it gets for them losing Garrity. Not totally convinced with Edward I do think that he is on the verge of towards the end of his career, but you never know.

Best possible outcome for the Rockets, with releasing a rider who does not want to be there and getting first choice on their number 1. I don't think that Lakeside will be too impressed by the business. Wonder who PBHS is, looking at the photo of Jason in the Rye House season review the logo PBHS is on the front of the bike, on the bike cover and the forearm that Jason is showing has the PBHS. Funny how Ashley Birks and Josh Bates have the logo as well.

If you knew Jason Garrity's background then you would know that he has done what he has on a shoestring budget, and because of that I think that the lad will always chase the money. It looks likely that Coventry have got what they wanted first choice on Jason's services, I do think that the lad will eventually ride in the Premier League this season with another club providing Coventry pay a transfer fee.

Is there no end to the talents of Shads Master Chef Pie Munching Champion And now Bodyguard.

The one's that I know of. So who goes where then? (parent club) Auty (Scunthorpe) Bates (Sheffield) Birks (Scunthorpe) Blackbird (Mildenhall) Cook (Edinburgh) Ellis (Lakeside) Garrity (Rye House) Howarth (Workington) Kennett (Coventry) Kerr (King's Lynn) King (BSPA) Coventry Lawson (Glasgow) Morris (Somerset) Newman (Poole) S Lambert (Kings Lynn) R Lambert (Kings Lynn) Nielsen (Coventry) Belle Vue Robson Coventry Rose (Swindon) King's Lynn Sarjeant (Coventry) Starke (Somerset) Stead (Sheffield) Wells (Coventry) S Worrall (Belle Vue) Wright (Workington)

I am not so sure that the problem was that bad last season, when you look at the team places that were shared out by Premier League. Looking at the clubs and the nationality of the riders that they used these are following figures; Premier League 2014 Berwick 8 riders used 1 British 2 Aussies 5 European. Edinburgh 7 riders used 3 British 3 Aussies 1 American. Glasgow 10 riders used 3 Aussies 7 European. Ipswich 7 riders used 3 British 2 Aussies 1 European 1 American. Newcastle 8 riders used 5 British 2 European 1 Aussie. Peterborough 11 riders used 5 British 5 European 1 American Plymouth 11 riders used 6 British 5 European Redcar 9 riders used 4 British 3 Aussies 2 European Rye House 10 riders used 8 British 2 European Scunthorpe 9 riders used 5 British 1 Aussie 3 European Sheffield 10 riders used 6 British 2 Aussie 2 European Somerset 7 riders used 3 British 3 Aussie 1 European Workington 9 riders used 5 British 2 Aussie 1 European 1 American Overall British 54 riders European 36 riders Aussies 22 riders American 4 riders Some clubs fared better than others, but most clubs appeared to choose mainly Brits. It could have been better, but the massive problem is that the wealth of talent in this country is not there, and the loss of certain amount of Aussies, cannot be replaced wholly by British riders.

If As what appears to be what has been stated on here that we will be without Taylor Poole, I would think the club will probably bring in Andre Compton as a replacement for him.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Hugh Skidmore rides on a Dutch license, if does then he should be okay without having to marry his girlfriend.

I would probably agree with you. For Sheffield the thought process for this season is build a team that win at home, and I think that the top 5 is built with that in mind.

Well after reading the latest press release things sound a bit more promising, with Agency agreeing to work alongside the clubs in getting the visa right. This is something that has been brewing up for sometime where we have seen a selection of riders unable to ride due visa applications been turned down and it looks like the agency has finally taken a stand to get this mess sort out once and for all. The loss of the Aussie rider would have been a hammer blow for the sport in this country, they are the one speedway nation that has been loyal to British speedway and stuck with us more than any other speedway nation. But it looks as though clubs have been given a clear message, stop looking for the loopholes do it by the book and things will not be a problem.

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.

Bearing in mind that there are around only 26 Aussie riders with team places in this country in both leagues, 20 plus is a rather large figure to be getting problems with visa's / permits. My guess is that is that is what you say a rumour.

Yes.

I think a fit and healthy Ty Proctor, is a good bet.

To be fair the only Sheffield fan to voice his concern is Oily Rag. And to be fair to Oily Rag he has voiced his concerns before the result today. But it is nice to see that fans from other clubs are concerned about the way we are feeling at the moment at Sheffield.

I had a look back at the part of the thread when Arthur signed for the club and most if not all of the big talk came from non Sheffield fans. The result in Aussie Under 21's is a cause for concern I don't think we should panic yet, lets get him over here and see what he can do. One thing we don't know is the standard of equipment he has been riding over in Aussie, I keep reading that he is on very good money, well if he is not scoring the points then he not earning so not concerned about that. End of the day lets get over here, lets see what he can do when he gets over here before we all start jumping the gun and calling a failure before he has even got over here. At the end of the day if it is not right the Promotion will with and change things if need be.

I don't know, he must have done something, and like Shadders says he is rumoured to have a very dubious reputation.

I was thinking exactly the same 2 out of 3 seasons he has had visa turned down, makes you wonder what he has done.

Very very rare that I agree with Uk on anything, but I think I would agree with him on this one. A truly new era should mean new people coming in, bringing back Graham Drury is not the answer.

And of course Edberg comes with some nice team race suits, for the team.

Probably right, but looking for a rider of the figure they are probably looking for they are not going to get a World class rider. I would as well but can you think of one out there that might fit the bill.

Returned with confidence on good kit and has a 3.82 average. Albin in his first season 3.62 average riding crap equipment seeing most tracks for the first time. I will admit that there are issues with Albin's riding gear and that what lets him down. But Edberg with his super rich Daddy backing him is no better.
