Am I right in thinking you are a Redcar fan? If so what's your thoughts on Kozza Smith not getting a visa? What do you think will happen now?

You are, qom. I am. I did not know this... There's nothing in the local rag either.

Bit of an odd one. I don't know if it's different for Speedway riders v Footballers, unless something else has gone wrong. The noises being made locally were that we were (On paper) going to be stronger, and he would have been a heat leader. Will keep an eye on it.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news there.

If you go to www.speedway365.com there is a piece about it on there.

There has been a lot of trouble with a lot of riders being declined visas and I think many have taken a lower tier one.

You never know might see you if your up at Berwick :)

Link worked fine. Very strange situation, considering he rode all last season in the EL and PL. Circumstances mean I can't even get to the Bears Den, never mind Shielfield Park.....

I find it odd aswell. On the Speedway page i follow on Facebook (if you are on Facebook have a look for Speedway Friends) one woman was convinced it was due to him having a year out - yes he had a year out but he was injured! I have my doubts if that has any part to play.

Aww thats not good....if I pass my test I'll come find you and can take you :) mind your crash helmet though - think Kozza might have a spare ;)
