SteveLyric2 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 The very same guy who was caught travelling on train journey from Rugby quite recently without a ticket. Paints a wonderful picture of honesty & integrity doesn't it? Hardly a surprise that he has been Chairman for so long, he fits the bill admirably. This is Alex Harkess' final year as BSPA Chairman. He will step down at the earlier 2015 AGM. Hopefully (if the current eligibility rules stay in place) his place will be taken by an EL promoter?! Rumours of Jon Cook being enticed back after taking a year out of BSPA MC duties?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 From the article about non EU imigration, by the looks of thing we will be very shortly, in the next year or so see no non EU riders coming over here to race for British clubs. It looks like evn though they where Comenwealth countries they are no longer welcome over here. Makes me also wonder, how many will actually get a Visa to come over to race this season. It looks like we will have to start looking to the young Polish and Swedish riders and also making a bit more of our home grown young rider, if we are to keep speedway alive and kicking over here in the future. This is quite sad really as the Australians and American's have been coming and riding over here for years now with out having to face all these stupid problems.

Thats not true at all. For years Americans and Australians have had work permit refused. in the 80s and into the 90s Americans had to get 6 point EL averages to get a work permit. These days they don't even have to get that figure in the PL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barncooseboy Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 If you take a non EU rider on a 3 year visa that means he has to ride for the sponsoring club for the 3 years and the promotion has to pay each week through the winter a sum that is equal to his AVERAGE EARNINGS from a 12 week period during the season THAT IS WHAT WILL STOP NON EU RIDERS BEING SIGNED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
