CaptainAudi Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Worked out we would have 16.12 left if we had to replace Sam & Justin, and there's no way we would be anything but 1.50/2.00 under the limit with what is left. Not many options out there and everyone clamouring for the same eligible riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sam & Sedge will be back - maybe not quite in time for the weegies, who knows but I think they'll be back. Keep the faith! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Kelly 41 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 One good thing to come out of all this --- Mister Blobby has clearly been told by the management to zip up and post nothing! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sam & Sedge will be back - maybe not quite in time for the weegies, who knows but I think they'll be back. Keep the faith! According to The Sun this morning John Campbell says the visa thing isn't an issue for Masters and Sedgmen . Everything is cleared . Mind you that is The Sun and not Kinvig in the Smugburgh Evening News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sun today EEN tomorrow. Interesting that the EEN's speedway reporter has the same initials as Rangers major shareholder. Do we ever see the 2 of them in the same place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you that is The Sun and not Kinvig in the Smugburgh Evening News masters is over 7 and sedgman 0.01 under and both in top 3 of aussie championships so easier to make a case to authorities i guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just hope that the'red tape' is sorted in time for clubs to act as sponsors again so that teams can be at full strength for the start of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lioness Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 cant see either having a problem meeting the criteria as you state. Lets just hope that the'red tape' is sorted in time for clubs to act as sponsors again so that teams can be at full strength for the start of the season I thought it was the sponsors licences that were the problem, not the criteria. My understanding was the sponsors licences were withdrawn and clubs are required to have a responsible person attend and pass the workshops/training before the licenses could be re-instated. Is that no longer the case? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that no longer the case? correct - thats what I meant by the red tape. Theres no doubt they qualify it just a case of when the clubs are reissued with authority to act as sponsor and therefore sign them.Looking at a situation where there is a longer delay at least the PL has an advantage over the EL in that it could adapt the LC comp whilst teams are missing riders if they wanted to. Hopefully all sorted in time for a normal mid March start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Taken from the overview section of Tier 2 Sportsmanship Visa on .gov.uk "your employment will develop your sport in the UK at the highest level" This is one of the criteria that must be filled. So are any of the PL only riders eligible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 It will depend what is termed the 'highest level' In football it covers all four English divisions, its likely in speedway it covers the top two with the NL termed a 'development' league and the Youth and development leagues deemd the lower part of the pyramid (no disrespect meant by terms, just trying to equate to English football as I believe PN to be English) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are any of the PL only riders eligible? I agree with Lioness in that both leagues could be encompassed in the highest level criteria. With the overlap in terms of D/U and fast track they are now more parrellel offerings (perhaps asymetric for the pendatic!) than first and second tier.

So are any of the PL only riders eligible? In the days when the qualifying criteria agreed by Work Permits (UK), as they then were, and the BSPA were published on the former's web site, the introduction included the following; "Work permits will be issued to riders of the highest calibre who are able to make a significant contribution to the development of British Speedway in the Elite and Premier Leagues."
