IIRC you have to do that, you can't apply for it whilst being here. Ideally you apply before you get here.

That's correct mate.

If you listened to BCB yesterday I explained how it all works.

Short mid-week trip to France. Apply for said working Visa then comeback.

Thanks Mick, I did listen yesterday. Must of missed that bit.

That's just weird. Why didn't he go to France about 3 months ago then?

The club wasn't registered as a sponsor with the Home Office then.

Ah, I see. So Toovey is doing a sponsored hitch hike to Paris? I did one of those once. I ended up in Lille.

The thing I dont get is how was Phoenix's put in and rejected?

It has to be applied for in Aus.

OK, I have posted before but probably 12 - 15 years ago.
With respect to the comment by bullseye about the food and drink ban on Sunday. I don’t do Facebook, twitter etc.
I was one of a party of four season ticket holders who did an about turn on Sunday in utter disgust at, what appeared to me, to be a blatant attempt to squeeze more money out of the supporters – after all that has gone before! What made it worse it was done on the back of supposed safety and security grounds. Especially with recent events. How much did the extra staff cost!
We were told you should have received an email about it, which we hadn’t. Season ticket holders are not likely to look at the “game day itinerary” you just turn up. What the heck was I supposed to do with my flask? They did agree, after discussion, to allow a bottle of water in though. No food, definite. How magnanimous.
I told my colleague at work today what happened and his jaw dropped. He’s a Bradford city supporter. They have no problem with flasks at valley parade! More to the point do they do this at other RL grounds? I would have thought the brolly and stools we were carrying would have been more of a ‘security’ problem, but they didn’t seem concerned.
Look we were not getting on plane. We were going to rugby league game. Just how dangerous is a jam butty. Someone somewhere has thought, I know how we can make some money why don’t we.........There needs to be some straight forward common sense being applied during the blue sky thinking sessions. For goodness sake it’s not rocket science to see what the outcome would be!
Anyway that was the final straw for me. It was becoming more of a chore than a pleasure going up to odsal over the recent years. I really thought we were on the up just before the last admin. Most probably won’t bother for the rest of the season. The missus might go with her friend though. Been going for 20 years. Shame really.
Just counting all season ticket holders each game hides the steady drip drip of leaking support. I seriously hope somebody is counting the actual bodies through the turnstiles and taking note of the trajectory. These are their core supporters.
I made some of these point when I unsubscribed from the emails .As for next year, if there is one? Can’t really see it at this point in time.

Somebody send Mr Chalmers a link to this forum and tell him to read it regularly. Yes we get the odd numpty but personally I think it's the best platform for fair and reasoned debate about the club. It's ok doing focus groups but some fans will just tell them what they want to hear so they can claim some sort of exclusive link with the owners (the Facebook groups).

They badly need to get a grip of the PR side of things.

Toovey's I94 has probably just expired. That'll be why he needs to leave the country. Upon re entry , new stamp.

I stand completely with you on this. And I don't think you'll get many on here that will disagree with your stance.

I totally understand bag checks for security reasons. 100% on board with it.

The idea of banning food and drink and telling people it's for security reasons, is yet another example of them totally insulting fans' intelligence. Sorry, but go f*** yourself. There's no security reason whatsoever that stops me bringing in a f***ing ham sandwich so I don't have to over pay for some crap overpriced food at one of the carts.

If they came out and said "we don't want you to bring your own food, we want you to buy ours, so we're banning food", I would almost respect the honesty, despite being a bit miffed. But this whole "security reasons" again just makes you feel like you're being taken the p*ss out of.

Will that be a season ticket to watch the Bulls in Champ 1, or is AC suggesting we wont go down?

Did the Monty Python sketch include a bit that said 'attack me with a ham sandwich'?

are people jumping in too quick regarding food and drink - The food merchants will pay a flat rental fee to the stadium lease holder to sell their products inside the ground, I doubt the Bulls (Cha-Lo) will see a penny of the takings, that will be all to the benefit of the food stall. Maybe people should look to he RFL (head lease holder) who may be the ones insisting on the no food etc...... so they can increase the rental fee.....
If, as alleged, we are not paying any ground rent or maintenance this year then why would Cha-Lo change the restriction on food??

and didn't this come up years ago at Odsal or am I imagining that?
