Must have meant he got a criminal record as how would domestic problems cause him visa issues?

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!!

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. 

That's assuming they were hoping to sign Chris Holder. I'll be honest I have my doubts on that...

Its pretty obvious the rider in question is Holder................but the silence from the club is deafening

My thoughts are that it may have been in deference to Danny's farewell today. 

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.

Says a lot about British speedway when only 7 teams cant be filled with suitable riders.

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.
