You either are eligible for a visa or not IMO. Tero was a strange case. He either broke the rules or got dumped. Why was he not able to resolve it. Expand Tero shot himself in the foot a bit... he applied for a Tier 2 Sports Persons Visa and it was taking ages to come through so he thought he would apply for a UK Tier 5 Temporary Worker Visa in the mean time... however what Tero didn't realise is/was you have to let the process run its course and you cannot apply for a different Visa whilst one is still being processed... So he got a phone call of the Visa and Immigration people asking him what he was doing (was it dodgy and was he trying to enter the country illegally and other such questions) so then the whole thing got put on stop until he gave some acceptable answers. So when you say he broke the rules yes he did technically speaking... however was it malicious or wilful... No... he's just a bit thick... which also explains the minor issue he had/is having with the track and trace people when rather than being in the house where he said he would be in isolation he was on the M6 heading to Plymouth for a meeting with Scunny... Not the brightest bulb in the box but his heart is in the right place...

Expand Yep and he’s already getting pressured by the boss to improve his away scores. Someone said on here that it felt like he was always 1 or 2 more bad meetings from the axe this season, and it felt like that for me too. He only produced the goods when he knew he absolutely had to. Given that you start team building with a clean slate, it seems a strange choice to bring him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Rob does seem to imply that the last two signings could be special. Who is there, not yet signed? Ellis, Worrall, Lawson, Cook? Could someone like Lyager be returning?. Won't be Auty, believe he will be at Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be there without doubt season but looking how teams are shaping up I don’t think home advantage will help as much and if we are going to be successful hard changes will have to be made quick. I hope my words choke me and I’m proved wrong after all I know nothing about team building in the sport I love.

AndyPresley Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Always liked Tero when he raced for the Diamonds and would have liked him in our team next year. I definitely think you will get Allen now he definitely isn't going back to Redcar and I'm pretty sure I read last season that he is a Scorpion's asset? Douglas would be a good signing too if the rumours are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Goodness me..... 5 reserves away from home and even at home there will be some losses Allen and Douglas are ok but wouldn't say either is a true number 1 at least up to this point, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is built to win(hopefully) the home meetings but will lose a lot away(as I have posted previously) & the riders Rob has chosen DO score well at the EWR. This last season proved that if you win your home meetings then you will reach the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
