Quote ="Snoopy"From our chairman in todays programme.
However it did mean that were behind the curve in assembling a squad. A number of the players come from Down under which means they have to apply for a visa to work here. Theres no quick way of processing this - Australian visas go to Manila. So when we sign players it could take up to six weeks for them to get a visa to travel '"
I would love to hear why there is a delay as everything gets send to manilla. It is a stupid statement. DH committed to 3 years which he very nearly went back on. And then he says the manilla processing is to blame.
I am sure rooster and gutters can back me up here. But uk immigration anz everything is processed in auckland. Manilla do have a step in the process but everything is gathered and scanned to them electronically from auckland!!
but it still does'nt matter where it the bloody things are processed, For every problem it means that there are issues upstream, it is not manilla or aucklands fault we are in this mess.
