I think the safest way to put it was that he has had a few scrapes that perhaps have made any visa processes not so straight forward.

Perhaps there were unfortunate errors in a previous visa application?! For some visas you are not allowed to apply again for at least 2 years with no guarantees that it would be processed quickly just because he is a previous World Champion. Any application would also need to be 'sponsored' by a club or organisation that holds a 'sponsorship licence', ie a potential employer!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 It wouldn't be so bad if they said we were hoping to get Chris Holder, but his visa application has fallen through,, but we did have a back up in mind,, and we are currently negotiating a deal with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's assuming they were hoping to sign Chris Holder. I'll be honest I have my doubts on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Its pretty obvious the rider in question is Holder................but the silence from the club is deafening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit crass to announce anything good or bad before that IMO, and it is only my opinion of course, like others I'm getting a bit twitchy about the team now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take out the doubling up/down you probably couldn’t fill seven teams. Yes the fall from grace is dramatic hence the powers that be should start to re-build the sport from the bottom and forget Poland etc. Those days when British speedway was a force to be reckoned with are for now, long gone. They should be encouraging riders at all levels and let teams without home tracks compete in the NDL. What is the harm if it is unearthing new talent. Get as many teams as possible named and race matches on a 4TT basis but with one rider from each team in each race over 20 heats. Make it interesting by starting on green light, no tapes and no exclusions for offences. Just handicap the offending rider by the starting position with 10, 20 or 30 mtrs handicap depending on the offence. Just do something different and stop the same old same old routine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
