Blackadder Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 The Victoria Solo Speedway State Meeting is being held at Mildura on Saturday night, 5th December. A top 4 finish gets a visa for the UK. Apart from Ty Proctor, the only other riders in the field with overseas experience are Max Fricke and Justin Sedgmen, so it should be relatively easy for Ty to finish in the top 4. I would have thought it worth waiting for, as a fully fit Ty Proctor would be a good asset for the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 If whatever reason Proctor doesn't qualify there, then there's the South Australian Championship on the 12th at Gillman, where he won the Jack Young cup last weekend. I presume he can ride in that competition?? Could be why the promotion are waiting to complete the line up. Good thinking Blackadder!

Cue Ball Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not sure which state it was, but one of them has said no out of state riders are allowed in their competition. In any event, Proctor doesn't fit with the people was release of an exciting British rider and a European Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romans lovechild Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 proctor had a day trip to rhyl whilst he was over here, so qualifies as welsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make no secret in the fact that I personally would have waited to see what happened with Ty regarding the State Championships, but I can also understand the Promotion been wary of the fact that it could all blow up in their faces if he was to fail, last season they lost two riders to visa problems, and if Ty did happen to fail then could be faced with losing out other riders or taking a rider that would not be suitable.

Ty Proctor comes from Victoria. He should certainly be expected to finish in the top for on Saturday (morning, in UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ty Proctor qualifies for a visa next year having won the Victoria State Championship, however it sounds like he was a tad lucky in getting to the final, Max Fricke beat him in their heat, but was excluded for crossing the white line on the in-field. Interesting to see what happens now……… where will Ty end up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Victoria State final - Proctor, Waters, Jordan Stewart, Sedgmen. Ty lucky to qualify for final, after Fricke excluded for crossing the white line when they met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Please to see Ty has got the qualification for his visa. Have we made the right decision not waiting for the result and bringing Ty back to the club. That remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradford Ace Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Think Ty would be a great signing. If he did then what would be left for the last rider?? Could Berge be squeezed in?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Opinions seem to suggest they were looking at Howarth at 6.98 and Berge at 4.14. Proctor is 6.68, so would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Brownell Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Ty is not that good at sheffield he gets passed evenwhen he makes the gate but away he would be a aset on little tracks but would rather see a change and get howarth in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Ty is a good bet for Sheffield after the ridiculous way he was forced out last time.... Not Sheffield 's fault. He is experienced and would enhance the team in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is experienced and would enhance the team in 2016. Of course it was Sheffields fault. They were responsible as with every other Employer for ensuring he was able to legally work in the country. They may have been misled by the BSPA but at the end of the day they are the Employer and are legally responsibility to know the Home Office requirements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
