What The Visa Issues Could Mean For Teams.


Recommended Posts

 

Didn't Ellis ride for Lakeside last year, that didn't stop him riding in the PL for Ipswich, from reading his column in last weeks Speedway Star its pretty clear Ellis thought he would be going back to Ipswich, sadly for him that didn't happen and by the time he found out most teams were all but full. Hopefully he will get a PL place either by team changes due to the bother certain riders are having with visa`s or when the PL gets going a teams find their riders aren't quite as good as they thought they were.

You're right it didn't, but the amount of times he was missing was tiresome.

 

Hard for Ellis to miss out after he thought he was signing for Ipswich again, but in Louis' defence from what I've heard, Louis thought he wouldn't be riding for Lakeside again either.

 

Missing so many meetings again obviously didn't appeal.

JB was going round the outside of him on bend two and Smith turned right and t-boned him , he can go to hell for me.

You're miles off.

I think you must have your incidents mixed up.

Or been on the heavy stuff.

Jesus ,you fill an encyclopaedia with riders who have had each other off never mind the ones who should not have a visa because of it.!!!!!!

 

Not good if riders who shouldn't have a visa or in effect are riding illegally are having people off though is it?

 

There would be a massive outcry in any other sector if illegal workers were causing others injury..

Some of the big names would do OK but it's unlikely that the Poles and Swedes would allow a situation like here, where they come over and basically learn. Anyway Harkess seems to think it's all sorted now. This could actually be a good thing and co-operation between the two parties should now be improved (hopefully).

Irrelevant.. and he doesn't actually say they are involved. He says they are responsible for 27 sports.

 

It's just more blame deflection.,

If Mr Harkess says as quoted in that article that new regulations were brought in in April and November and unless you had gone through the small print you wouldn't know what was happening then as chairman of the BSPA surely he is showing negligence in his duties,alongwith other members of the BSPA,by not reading the small print.Whose responsibility is it, if not the people who are supposed to run the sport,to check all this out and then advise others of these decisions?You can't blame the authorities for changing the rules if you then can't be arsed to properly read them.

as others have pointed out, the rules around visa elegibility have been unchanged for 5 years, and those rules have been breached. If there are new rules also breached thst jst makes it worse.

He also says 'unless you went through the small print in detail' - which gives the impression that Edinburgh clearly didn't. How naive is that.

FFS - I've been through it in detail over the years and it's not difficult to understand (as indeed SCB has also been saying). They're just compounding their idiocy/blatant abuse of the regulations by claiming otherwise.

Ignorance is not a defence in law either. You're expect to know or employ someone who does know so can stop you breaking the law. The top guy at the BSPA has just made the sport sound more amateur than ever now.
