So what you're saying is "he meets the criteria because they say he does" with no actual reason... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the same thing they've been making a mess of for the past God knows how many seasons.

That doesn't answer anything. It does also prove what rubbish you've been spouting for the past couple weeks in that Plymouth were given their license weeks ago, when as this report says, they are only just about to recieve it.

I've never tried to defend Somerset in any of this instances, and is also very irrelevant in this instance. Lewy on the other hand claimed Plymouth did have the license to sign Davies last year, and now claims they didn't and only recieved it a few weeks ago - so which is it?

Neil Middleditch.

Ah so you're finally admitting that Plymouth tried to sign Alex Davies last season in the full knowledge they didn't have the required license? Better late than never. There is no two ways about it, he didn't finish in the top 4 in the State Championship, regardless of what he scored in the heats. They seem to make it up as they go along at Plymouth, so it wouldn't surprise me if they think this is allowed too.

Mason Campton.

How daft do they look now after being so quick to jump on Somerset's case with regards to rules.

Todd Kurtz doesn't require a visa.

All visas were revoked and every rider has had to, or will have to, reapply for them. This includes all riders who had a multi year work permit too - Troy Batchelor has already confirmed he had a multi year work permit but needs to reapply.

And rightfully it looks he's been told to enter them next year, to come back to British Speedway in 2016.

The fact that every club had their license removed to sponsor work permit riders, indicates that there was/is issues

Right now Taylor Poole isn't good enough - he's had 4 (?) seasons over here and failed to reach 7.00 in any of them.

I think you're clutching at straws here....

To think one of the promotors said we were on a "crusade" too - I like to think of it as more of an understanding, than a crusade. I look forward to seeing Taylor Poole back in 2016 when he meets the requirements needed.

How's your P & P looking? Are all 4 of your team going to be there?

Absolutely.

As Drew says, we have never had the actual 'practice' part during the daytime.

You obviously seen him alot more than I did last season, but I think it was the first time you lot came to visit the OTA last year - Garrity's performance that night must go down as one of the worst performances at our place all season.

What's now then you likely get someone like Nicolai Klindt come out after every race and mess about with his starting gate in the next couple of heats - what's the referee going to do then, exclude him 2 heats in advance?

It was the actions throughout last season and before that, that has caused the problems.

Correct, so instead of joining Kings Lynn on a 3.00 he ended up replacing Grant Tregoning at Newport on a 5.00.

You've changed your tune!

That's brilliant news that things have progressed - But why did one promotion still try and appeal against a work permit being turned down, when as you say, things are in black and white after attending the 'workshop'?

That's the problem though, it's NOT black and white as you say - hence why two (potentially three if you want to include Nelson into that before the workshop) have already had their visas turned down that we know about for sure since the workshop took place.

The under 21 Champs is irrelevant - the PL doesn't run at U21 level and therefore any age restricted competition has no bearing on the PL's requirements. Like I said before, it comes as no coindence that Somerset waited weeks and weeks until the State Championships were over before dropping Holder when it became clear he didn't qualify for a work permit at the moment. The whole average scenario, especially concerning Brady, has nothing to do with this debate though. We're debating Holder and Davies. There is no opinion to have, you either chose to read the facts or you chose to ignore them. For what it's worth in reference to your last point, there has been more than one occasion where I have not always agreed with my team, and plenty of times that I have.
