Bald Bloke Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 8 hours ago, Skidder1 said: He has a passport - presumably an Aussie one - but to get a UK visa or UK work permit he has to have a job as his employer would need to support/sponsor the application, which Poole did, but bear in mind the application process could not be started until his BSPA/ACU ban had ended, then he's just another in the long queue with no more clout than any other eg Roman Abrahmavich?! I doubt whether Motorcycling Australia (MA) would have been on the case despite any best efforts by Mark Lemon!! His other personal issues, some of which have legal ramifications (probably why there has been no official public comment), are progressing as far as I understand but have also been a serious distraction and possibly even affecting the visa process?! As for the Cardiff GP, a specific visa may have been 'sponsored' and obtained by BSI. (Not sure about the latter but it has been mentioned as such?!) I don't know much about Holder. But he has never had this problem in the 8 or so years he has graced our league. I've not looked into it at all, but somethings wrong. If he can't ride for Poole, he can't ride the GP imho...Still not convinced Ford don't have something to do with his " delay", but i'm happy to be proved wrong.

SteveLyric2 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Speedway-wise he's never had a ban before! Personally, he's never had to deal with anything like the same issues in those same 8 years. Matt Ford - and others at Poole - has been fully behind helping and supporting him in every practical way possible with his visa/work permit issues and advising as best they can on his other complex personal issues in the UK.

therefused Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Something is definitely a bit strange about this Holder situation.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Sadly you don’t have to be a lawyer to realise that Chris isn’t being able to see his son for something he has done/said or been accused of doing & if in the hands of the CPS then he might not be allowed into Britain?. Hope he gets it sorted as a Dad because speedway isn’t worth much compared to his son. Edited May 28, 2018 by Crazy robin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
