Hamish McRaker Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Why has this happened? For what reasons would a visa be declined? So your afternoon nap went on a bit longer than you expected, Colonel? I know the problem only too well. You're not related to that character in Fawlty Towers are you by any chance? Anyway to put you in the picture about what's happened: Australia mercilessly thrashed England 5-0 at cricket. The British government declared war against Australia for this act of hostile aggression. Scotland, Wales and Norn Iron together formed a separate government, because it was nothing to do with them. The English government (although it still called itself and acted as "British Government") realised there are no aircraft carriers, meaning that militiary action against Australia was pointless. Instead, Sir Les Patterson was deported back to Sydney on the first available flight and this seriously affected the export sales of Australian wines. The Borders Agency also started rejecting UK visa applications by Australians, especially from speedway riders with the initials "JD". Hope that's caught you up. Wake me up when the season's started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionking Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Somethings don't change Popples interview was terrible he just hasn't got a clue. What is even worse is i hear he will be even more involved next year & to top it off this clown Chris Popple is going to make OUR great club the laughing stock of speedway when the sky camera's come. I hope that Max Clegg has recovered from the Chris Popple experience he received last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 True. I can't remember ever hearing Peter York's dulcet tones on T.V. when the Sky cameras visit Coventry. Anyway, what has Chris done wrong now? Why was it a terrible interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont you leave him alone. I would like too see you go out there and do a better job, but no, you would sooner sit behind a keyboard and slag the man off. I think him and Rob do a grand job and if you can do any better then contact El Dictator and put in for the job. Otherwise leave Chris alone.

weatherwatcher Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I will reword the quote I made the other day just to set things right. By point of vertue. It now looks that JD has a far better chance of gaining a visa for this year, than he had a few weeks ago. Hopefully it should be sorted out one way or the other in the next week or so. No percentages just a brigther looking future. Hope the lad succeeds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to butt in to the Leicester thread. But sofar as the English getting stuffed by the Aussie's in the Ashes. I mean, did you really expect anything different? It was just a glorified Holiday...

lionking Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Because week after week he makes a big c**k up. Knows nothing about speedway unless your name is Scott Nicholls. Has an ego as big as Katie Price's boobs & thinks its all about him. Pure and simple he is a backstreet washed up 80's DJ & not a speedway presenter. This job requires someone who follows speedway instead of just a select few riders. I tried to advise him 2 years ago as to what would improve him. he said he was approachable but his response was if you don't like me simply don't come to speedway then you won't have to listen to me. His last words were you are in a minority & most people think i am one of the best presenters. I just laughed and gave up because of his volatile nature & short fuse Why dont you leave him alone. I would like too see you go out there and do a better job, but no, you would sooner sit behind a keyboard and slag the man off.

Islander15 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Leicester have joined the National Trophy and will track Perry & Clegg as part of the team.

With regards to hazarding what might make Leicester the laughing stock of speedway when the sky cameras come i would guess the presenter's performance would rank low on a list of guesses. Talking of which, It does make me wonder what kind of track Sky/Ronnie Russell might curate when they do visit. My guess is they will attempt to create the entertainment though the medium of ploughed field.. Edited February 11, 2014 by volty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Rob is a far better announcer, with his knowledge and passion really shining through, but surely even though Popple does make many mistakes it's wrong to slate him on this forum.
