| Quote Big Dave T="Big Dave T"So he turns up and legally has to declare he has been turned down for a visa/entry. The individual there then makes their own mind up as to whether to send him away or not. Why waste time, why dont immigration just centrally tell him to not bother turning up cos he wont get in? I dont see the logic of the approach.'"
Circumstances may change. If he's acquitted of the charges, he will have no problem getting in (unless there is another reason for refusal). Until the court case, I'd say on the basis of the central immigration computer, that he hasn't a prayer.

| So basically, If Catalans were to fly in to Leeds/Bradford airport every week they come...If the Immigration officer was, say a Leeds fan, and they were playing Leeds, he could deny him entry and when they're playing Bradford/Saints etc. allow them in, its ludarous.
BTW I'm sure they're much more profesional but still....

Thats my gripe. Things like this should never be down to the discretion of any individual person. It should never be upto them, especially if centrally immigration have turned him a visa down.

I would hope not!
TBH I'm hoping that other clubs (especially Bradford) kick off about this whole thing. It has the potential to be a massive loophole and could be seen, as people have said, to give Catalans an unfair advantage.

How does an appropriate 'kick off' happen?
Should the RFL capture a central complaint from all member clubs?

all the reports seem to suggest so, I agree, it's all very odd.

Letters to local MPs who then write to the Immigration Minister (Phil Woolas) to protest, the RFL could write to the Sport Minister if enough people forced their hand. He could take it up a notch and write to the Home Secretary (Woolas's boss).
Individuals could follow the same path (my MP is the ex sports Minister Richard Caborn).
I'm not convinced it would have an effect, but raisng it could at least get people thinking about it.

So I see. I'd be disappointed if it was Crocker and FC said nothing. As Standee says, very odd.
