northyorksbear Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Just a thought - If , as has been suggested, the correct figure issued by immigration has been 7 for a number of years, and BSPA chose to ignore this and effectively "break the rules" would they want to have an official statement issued by them, containing the news that they are "changing" to implement and abide by a ruling which should have been in place for a number of years. Maybe this is why no "official" statement has been issued, and is not likely to be - it looks to me like BSPA were trying to get this in place without any fuss - well that worked well - didn't it ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl049 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Why would a promoter take the word from "a girl in the office" as you say. Why wouldn't they go to the BSPA representative directly. They have each other's phone numbers. That's the real question here. As far as the BSPA changing the gradings, we had control of this until the saga with the tier 5 visas! Who was at the centre for that controversy again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl049 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 You brought it up, nobody else.. Yep, and it was flipped to being the girl in the offices fault. My point was, that the promoter should have spoke to either Alex or George directly instead of making them all out to be the bad ones here.

Your spot on , if this was announced at the agm from I assume the chairman why did somerset then call the office to clarify this, surely they would have the phone number of all management members that could clarify this. ?? (Looking to put the blame on someone else ) Why is it always somerset that seems to have problems with visa riders ? Do they not know the rules .

Mr Blobby Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) so last year they try and get brady Kurtz on a 3.00 and it's then the BSPA fault because they told them he was a 3 when it was clear he wasn't. Thiis year they try and get Jack Holder on a 5.00 and it's then the BSPA fault becuase they told them he was a 5.00 when it was clear he wasn't. Strange that!

They've said, Yep... Carry on. 5 points is good. I know we agreed 7 points last week but yeah, bash on. Only to change their mind the following day.

coomie Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Stick to arguing with Starman - we will be no worse off than any other team in the league and still have a pretty handy line up whoever we drop.cant drop josh,brady,charles or most of all Richie,still think we should let jack go and get a 5 pointer in,there is a rider at about 4.65 who could come in,they would do better on the ota track each week imo,rebels fan who do you think should go and come in?

Do you honestly think the Somerset promotion would have gone ahead had they known jack was to come in on a 7 really, honestly ? No, niether do i.. Somerset have said themselves they knew the day before they revealed their side they knew Holder was on a 7.00 and should of cancelled the whole thing but couldn't because of sponsors and everything else that went with organising that social night - which in hindsight may of been a better option but hindsight is a wonderful thing. So yes, and sadly, the team was announced knowing Holder was a 7.00 as per the news article in the speedway star. When do the clubs have to officially register their line ups ? A week in advance of their first fixture or somewhere around there I would assume. Swindon didn't sign Batchelor until into March last year.

Either way, I don't really care. good luck having an opinion against starman mate lol he cant see another view and cant debate. For what its worth they tried to get Brady Kurtz for a 3 last year to be told its 5 This season they try and get Holder for a 5 when he is a 7 Same club. Either they dont read the rules or they are trying to pull a fast one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
