I can't understand the logic behind this decision. In cricket, for instance, sports visa's are issued to those playing at both county and local (i.e. Lancashire League) level. The only condition to the sports visa is that the player (or coach) should have represented his country, which Petrovic has. If it is correct that only footy visas are granted to those playing for premiership & league clubs then a serious re-think is needed at the Home Office Immigration Dept.
