Did I hear mention of a live band and other entertainment going on from 2.30pm tomorrow at the Norfolk Arena?

 

There isn't anything of the official Norfolk Arena website about this yet. I heard something being mentioned along these lines at Friday's meeting.

 

Can anyone confirm admission price?

Thanks for the info Triple B's. I'm surprised there's nothing yet on the official Norfolk Arena website. :o

No good for people who have to work having a meeting from 2pm is it??? What's the use in that? Perhaps if someone had bothered to advertise the meeting properly then more people would have been able to organise their time and made a day of it. We've just had a bank holiday weekend but of course at King's Lynn stock cars and bloody caravan racing take precedent over speedway meetings don't they? :rolleyes:

 

What a farce. :mad:

 

Oh and I don't get the SS anymore, does it mean I have to, to know what events are in the pipeline? :rolleyes:

'Speedway: Best of British battle it out at Norfolk Arena. Lynn host one of the biggest meetings on the British speedway calendar tomorrow night when the British Under 21 final comes to the Norfolk Arena.

A three-man reserve race-off will begin the action, with the winner making it through to the final line-up.

 

Simon Lambert will carry local hopes in the reserve race on the back of his paid 12 against the Isle of Wight on Good Friday.

 

The main meeting sees 20 qualifying heats with the top two going through to the final.

 

There will then be a race-off for the next top four scorers with the first two home taking their place in the final.

 

Co-promoter Jonathan Chapman said: "We are expecting our biggest crowd for some time, probably approaching the 3,000 mark.

 

"There is a lot of interest in the meeting, especially with there being riders from Mildenhall, Rye House, Sheffield and Scunthorpe."

 

Gates open at 2pm, with a practice session being held until 4pm.

 

At 4pm there is a 250cc bike trial, which will involve former Star Richard Knight's son Jake.

 

An autograph session will follow in the bar between 5 and 6pm before a live band prior to the action.

 

Prices are: £13 adults, £9 concessions and £4 children.

 

Full line-up: Edward Kennett, Joel Parsons, Ben Barker, Ben Wilson, Richie Dennis, William Lawson, Josh Auty, Luke Bowen, James Brundle, James Wright, Lewis Bridger, Benji Compton, Daniel King, Jason King, Steve Boxall.Reserves: Simon Lambert, Jack Hargreaves and Jamie Courtney. '

So much for the oompa lumpa raising the bar for this meeting and publicising it like no one before! So he gets his crayons out and puts an advert in the Star? Well done!

 

Shame this meeting is on a Wednesday and not a Friday/Saturday night. Whats the reason for not staging it on Friday night?

 

Jason King spoke absolute rubbish in the star this week when he said that he was in favour of it being at Lynn as it meant riders who can't ride small tracks will have a better chance of qualifying in Poland for example. Wrong Jason. Do you think if a James Brundle or yourself qualify now that it is at Lynn you will storm the field in the qualifying rounds and get in the world final? Answer is no. King bombed out in the qualifying rounds before so speaking rubbish. The best under 21's have qualified for the world rounds over the last few years it has been staged, but doubt we will get that at Lynn. Riders like Brundle, Jason King, Parsons could easily quaify as they go half decent round Lynn.

 

Think it's five through and one wild card.

 

Fancy D.King, Wright, Lawson(if his bikes work), Kennett and Boxall to qualify. If it's too deep you can take Kennett and Boxall out though. Bridger could do anything, but he'll get the wildcard anyway if he doesn't qualify.

1stly there is already a thread set up for this. Secondly what you say about it being at lynn and that some of the better riders therefore wont qualify is completely wrong. If you are a good rider, you should be able to race on any track. And K.Lynn has been noted as one of the best tracks in Britain for a long time now.

 

Dont think Kennett will get through as he hates the track. Boxhall rode superbly at Lynn a few weeks ago and i think he will do well. However I do agree with you in saying D.King, Wright and Lawson will qualify. Then again its a strong line up and anyone on their day could possibly win it.

I'm sure all the supporters at Newport (including myself) wish our boy Joel Parsons the best of luck at the U21 championships :)

Yep saw the other thread, but no offence to who started it, but they look like they suffer from Dyslexia with the topic headline.

 

If Kennett doesn't get through he will get the wildcard anyway so it doesn't really matter.

 

Yes all riders should gbe able to ride all tracks so lets hope the top boys go through and a Lynn specialist like Brundle doesn't.
