george.m Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) 'personnel needs'......If i need a low life to jump in a lake to inspect the pond life i know who to call Oh don't be like that my little personal stalker!I thought I was special, yet you give me the same abuse as you do everyone else you dislike in BSF. Make me feel special, make me feel different from the rest. After all, you did admit you had been asking other Glasgow Supporters about me. Bit creepy I know, but it works for me! I especially like it when you actually post on a forum that you're out there asking people about forum members. You are so daring! After all, you'd never be stupid enough to post such things about your habits in the public domain! PS I'm so glad you don't ignore me as you said you do. I'd miss you!

TMW Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am wondering why the mods are allowing such a deviation from the topic that this thread was set up for....Especially when gustix is involved in so many of these "off topic" comments...Or has he mellowed about such things in the last couple of weeks? I came to this thread to learn about the latest news for those that are having visa trouble. Instead I found myself reading a mass of posts discussing Scottish bank notes and large bank notes....Unbelievable Welcome to the world of the Speedway closed season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Jones Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 This press release just issued by the Rye House promotion may throw some more light on the current visa situation; To Declare or Not to Declare?Not surprisingly, the rejection of Tyson Nelson’s visa application and the subsequent drafting in of Mathieu Trésarrieu as a Silver Ski Rocket has provoked a number of supporter comments on public forums. One that has surfaced makes the argument that teams should not declare a rider’s inclusion in their new season line-ups until the necessary paperwork is fully in place. This is, after all, the second time in two years that the Rockets have been burned, and the second time that Nelson has been ruled out of action.Is this a fair point? Is there a raising of false hopes? Rye House promoter Len Silver gives his own views here, and also provides details of just what is involved in the rider visa process in order to help clear up possible misconceptions. And it is more detailed than you might think.Silver starts at the beginning. “Before leaving the UK to return to Australia at the end of last season, Tyson had in his possession all the paperwork necessary for the issue of a working visa. This included the Rye House registration for overseas sports persons' sponsorship, issued by the UK Border Agency and fully paid up.“There was also an official document from the BSPA authorising Tyson's acceptance as part of the Rye House team, plus a personal contract issued by Rye House Speedway giving details of earnings, living accommodation and other items as required by the British authorities for overseas workers.“Back in Australia, Tyson had in place all the requirements necessary for the issue of a visa, which is in contrast to the first occasion he was refused, when some of the requirements were slightly wrong.“So we had no reason to think that it was anything more than a "rubber stamp" issue. We were not informed of a new edict issued from the Australian side which stated that there must be a twelve month gap between trips to UK under that particular sponsorship scheme.“A number of British promoters have been caught by the same issue, and some of the individual riders involved also have other items which have affected their visas, several of which have never been an effective item previously.“At what point do you communicate your plans publically to your supporters? Do you leave a “tbc” in your line-up for what could potentially be a 2-3 month period when you don’t envisage a problem and have no reason to envisage one?“I’m convinced we took the right approach on that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 im with Len on this on tbf. And fair play to him for actually giving some answers and some insight, its all us fans want most of the time, not heavy minute detail but something like this.

Good on Len for at least giving us something to help us to understand. It's not rocket science is it? Answers on a Postcard to the BSPA.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 So we had no reason to think that it was anything more than a "rubber stamp" issue. We were not informed of a new edict issued from the Australian side which stated that there must be a twelve month gap between trips to UK under that particular sponsorship scheme. A number of British promoters have been caught by the same issue, and some of the individual riders involved also have other items which have affected their visas, several of which have never been an effective item previously. This is the part that seems most relevant IMO It seems that even where lessons have been learned now a further problem exists. It reads to me that with the scheme used then it would only be possible to use in alternate years. What would be good to know is what specific sponsorship scheme is referred to and if any other scheme can be used to replace it if a rider is affected.

TheScotsman Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Did I not read farther back that there are 3 year visas available? Seems like a good idea to cut down on the impact of having to take 12 month breaks. But do they require holders to stay here for the 3 years and go back to Oz and earn there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 All this is the practical reality of 'pulling up the drawbridge' as plenty advocate on another thread. If immigration is supposed to be made more difficult, then there's no real reason why speedway should be exempt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotonian Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Immigration is permanent and a different argument altogether. This is about temporary working visas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Why don't these Riders move to Bulgaria or Rumania - they'd have no problem coming here then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Why don't these Riders move to Bulgaria or Rumania - they'd have no problem coming here then. They can come here but a foreign national from outside the eu cannot work without a work visa. Edited January 28, 2014 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
