Tsunami Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Perhaps Mr.Harkess will be using his Management Committee credentials again for his own clubs benefit. Â Will there be a burger involved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Does Fricke even need patriality to get a reduced average? If he is coming in on 5 then why does his age matter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Does Fricke even need patriality to get a reduced average? If he is coming in on 5 then why does his age matter? Its not about his starting average more about whether he meets the criteria for a visa at all.

Gazc Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Does Fricke even need patriality to get a reduced average? If he is coming in on 5 then why does his age matter? Â Think it will be more to do with them meeting the requirements i can see both Glasgow & Edinburgh struggling to receive permission after last seasons debacle with O Malley and possibly Douglas at Scunthorpe also think it will be far more difficult for these young Aussies to gain entry this year as the vetting will be far more stringent than previous year's. Â Horwood and Fricke may not even get as far as the Embassy this year which could well leave both clubs looking for alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Fricke & Douglas have a decent rep in U16 as does Brady Kurtz, they should find it easier in theory than some of the others like Horwood, although his 4th place in Kurri Kurri won't hurt .

cyclone Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 As Somerset wanted to sign Brady Kurtz, but as he was refused as he does not turn 17 until September. Max Fricke is also only 16, and does not have British Paternity, so how will he be granted a visa. Â Rubbish - first of all it is Patriality not Paternity, and in Kurtz case this was being referred to in order to obtain a 3pt starting average to fit into the Somerset team for 2013. Â Fricke, Horwood, Koppe, and Douglas are coming in on 5.00, so Patriality does not apply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTC38L Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Douglas, Fricke and horwood all should be eligible for a gbe as they all have qualified for the Australian U21 champs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmon Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Douglas, Fricke and horwood all should be eligible for a gbe as they all have qualified for the Australian U21 champs  Where does this come from? The GBE states on the BSPA site  "Any Speedway promotion wishing to employ an individual rider to participate in their team will be required to guarantee that, for the previous season, the rider for whom the application is made has fulfilled one of the following criteria.  a) Australia/ New Zealand/ U.S.A. Finished in the first four in the state Championships"  No other criteria there!  Maybe someone from the BSPA would like to clarify situation - suspect the answer will be no they would not.

Fromafar Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Harkness will probably produce a piece of paper that says Fricke's Great Granny was born in Aberdeen.That should solve the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad is 15 he will live up to the hype IMO very impressive round Berwick and Armadale last year. Take a look at his Aussie results this winter giving Parker, Woodward and Procter a run for their money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl049 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 having seen him race in a meeting at Leicester in 2012 he needs to make one heck of an improvement to live up to the hype. Â The last time he was here he was using a borrowed bike that had been brought to tracks in the back of a car.... Plus he had just turned 16. Â There is a lot of hype, without a doubt and it will take time to adjust, he definitely knows that but the lad has the talent and attitude to do well. He hopes to maintain his 5 point average and build from there. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Saw him a head to head with Robert Lambert at Rye and thought he looked very stylish - a small version of Leigh Adams no less!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
