THE DEAN MACHINE Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) i think duel nationality only applies to aussies and nz in the national league Edited July 10, 2012 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 i think duel nationality only applies to aussies and nz in the national league Think that is patriality rights. As far as I know anyone with a British passport can ride so guess that would apply to anyone who is entitled to dual nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting in speedway in fifteen years time then, given the amount of Eastern European kids being born in Britain who are entitled to dual nationality. I for one would like very much to see Cameron Heeps' British passport. Edited July 11, 2012 by oldsparky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Way of the world now.Don't Nicki Glanz + the other Nielsen,not Simon have dual nationality?Think there are a few kids with at least one British parent riding in foreign junior leagues.Seem to recall hearing about the Headley boys (Kian + Oliver?) in Denmark and there is a youngster Sean Greenfield in Sweden.Tai Woffinden of course.In Germany there are a fair few who have dual citizenship or maybe have changed.Usually Polish or Russian riders.Dmitri Tschatschin,Marcin Sekula are a couple that spring to mind.But i did think that Henning Loof wanted to ride in the NL and was refused,and thought he had a British pass....maybe i got that wrong somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Brit through and through but my Brother has dual Dutch/British Nationality, not a rider btw, because he was born in Holland and has a british father the only difference being that holding a british passport, once upon a time openeded more international doors than a dutch one when it was the old black passport. These days you hold a European passport so no difference. It's only a matter of time before the NL will have to recognise a European nationality anyway. Henning Loof wanted to ride in the NL and was refused,and thought he had a British pass....maybe i got that wrong somewhere Henning is married to a British girl and needs the grand required to apply for british citizenship to hold a british passport Edited July 11, 2012 by TMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is resident here but as a EU citizen has all the rights to live and work here anyway. Last I heard he was still looking into his options but they are quite costly.

You are right of course but those passports were issued by the Consulate general of HK they weren't full british passports and it said so on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
