With just over a week left until the start of the season, it would appear that many of our contracted USA players are stuck in America.
What exactly is the problem?
Is it the US or the UK government agencies that are failing to provide the relevant paperwork to allow entry to the UK?
How many of our clubs are suffering from this issue? and when do we think that this will be resolved?

I think the underresourced ukba staff (visas) may well have been redirected ot more urgent matters (Afghanistan)

Nothing to do with brexit. Bringing in US players hasn’t changed.

How many of our clubs are suffering from this issue? and when do we think that this will be resolved? Is it league wide - or specific clubs? Rocks first pre-season game - 3 of the 4 announced US players for 2021-22 season were starters. Don't think I have seen a picture with the 4th one in the subsequent games, so could be just the one not arrived yet for Rocks? |

Think Riders are struggling to get two of our Americans into the country. No official word from the club but that's what rumours say.
