Although am not a member of the promotion, is that offer only open to foreign speedway riders?

I know of two that could do with a little holiday and, are dogs allowed? ;)

Yes only male dogs will be allowed but only if they have no teeth as you can still kick them in the bollocks and they will not bite you lol

there must be Czech, German, Danish boys who don't ride in Poland

All of whom would need work permits. So they would have to be proven International Standard riders to get such a thing now we are no longer part of the EU.

What’s the International Standard.Berwick have just signed an u/21 Dane.

Riding in GP2 or U21 World Championship must be proof he is of a certain standard

Didn't Poole get visa for Czech who was about 8th in their national championship? Also Marcin nowak wasn't known by anyone outside Poland until we signed him

No, the Czechs changed their visa rules the day after Poole declared him in their 1-7 hence why he never rode and was eventually replaced by Basso,

Why would Smetana need a Czech visa?

Surely Smetana was subject to UK Home Office rules?

She was a Wild Card.

All I'm saying is, you said "Qualified." She didn't "qualify," so her 'standard' can't really be judged on everyone else, just because she rode in an SGP2.

They'll have a long wait then, as I don't know the answer.

She was good enough to be picked for the Qualifiers as was Kemp,Flint Hagon and a couple of other Brits,she actually outscored Hagon.!,

I think we all know that her getting a wildcard was a box ticking exercise.
