Kevin Little Farewell Meeting

[marron 7]

It says in the SS that Bjarne Pedersen will be riding. I assume he will be riding for the Diamonds? Can anyone confirm?

 

A Newcastle side including Bjarne, Kenneth Bjerre and Stuart Robson would be a mouth watering prospect!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

If, when you talk about B. Pedersen, your referring to the Speedway Star on February 24th I interpret the article in a totally different way and they aren't talking about B. Pedersen riding in Kev's farewell meeting.

 

Diamonds manager English says 'We've also (aswell as Bjerre) got another ex - diamond, Stuart Robson int the side, and though I know the full line - up I won't reveal anymore'.

 

Then it goes on to say 'Following in Bjerre's footsteps aswell as those of B. Pedersen's, newboy Jonas Raun arrives from Denmark at the beginning of March to take part in a 3 - day training session organised by Team Denmark in Eastbourne. Both Pedersen and Bjerre did the same before linking up with the Diamonds'.

 

So I interpret it as them talking about the training session and not Kev's meeting. Also' Poole are riding at Swindon on the same night. I maybe wrong and if I am then i've spent ALL this time writing a load of crap.

Taken from the Speedway Star, 3rd. March 2007:-

 

(Bjarne) Pedersen, meanwhile, has confirmed that he will be lining up in the Kevin Little Farewell meeting at Redcar on April 5th.

The former World No. 6 said:" I used to ride with Kevin at Newcastle and he was a great team-mate to have. I enjoyed racing alongside him and am really looking forward to taking part in his Testimonial."

 

BP obviously intended to ride in this meeting but won't be able to if Poole are at Swindon that night. (Haven't checked the fixture list yet.)

James Wright now confirmed for Workington.

[Boothers 223]

Kevin stated at last nights Redcar Bears 'Meet the Riders' evening that Richard Hall has also confirmed.

 

A class field for the 'real' meeting and the 'veterans' running a mini pairs meeting. Kevin and his team have put together a very attractive looking evenings entertainment.

 

N.B. The Meeting has so much to get through that it will start 30 minutes earlier than normal at 19:00 (that's seven o'clock in english time!)

[Boothers 223]

Joe Screen is now a confirmed starter - riding for the Workington Team.

STONEY’S BACK FOR KEVIN!

 

The great news for Speedway fans and for Kevin Little in particular is that THE Premier League Legend Carl Stonehewer will be riding in the Legends’ heats in Kevin’s Benefit at Redcar on 5th April.

 

“I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight!” said Kevin after Stoney had phoned him with the news. The former Workington hero hasn’t ridden since receiving a serious arm injury in 2005 but he will be donning leathers again in two weeks time.

 

Kevin says “As far as the Premier League is concerned, he was always THE man to beat home and away. The number one.

 

“I spent most of my career trying to beat him and then in 2005 I ended up paired with him! What a privilege that was – he was great to ride with, I just had to look and he was there.

 

“He is a fantastic character and it is a great boost that he’s prepared to come and ride in my meeting.”

 

Stonehewer will be paired with Martin Dixon, with whom he won the 1997 Premier League Pairs in the colours of Long Eaton 10 years ago.

 

TEAM LINEUPS IN THE MAIN EVENT SO FAR:
