Kevin Little Farewell Meeting


Recommended Posts

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!)

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:

 

REDCAR: Gary Havelock, Shane Parker, Chris Kerr.

 

NEWCASTLE: Kenneth Bjerre, Stuart Robson, Richard Hall, George Stancl.

 

EDINBURGH: Rory Schlein, William Lawson, Ronnie Correy.

 

WORKINGTON: Joe Screen, Kauko Nieminen, James Wright.

 

The PREMIER LEAGUE LEGENDS are – MIDDLESBROUGH: Martin “Mad Dog” Dixon and Carl Stonehewer, EDINBURGH: Peter Carr and Kenny McKinna, BERWICK: Scott Lamb and Sean Courtney, NEWCASTLE: Paul “Banger” Bentley and David Blackburn.

ooh, i've been slapped on the wrist by a lioness, for simply trying to attract as much attantion as possible from as wide a cross section of this forum as possible. Apologies for trying to promote a very good selling point of my mate Kev's testimonial meeting.

Lioness, pick your toys up and get back in your pram!!!!!! another thing, if there are five indicator bars of warning lights (ie 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) why am i on 25%, please change my ticking off percentage accordingly!!!!!!!! What happens if i get up to 100%??????

BRing back the great Frederico Barbarossa i say, he had some great things to tell us, where has he gone? I wonder if he got all the way up to 100% naughtiness and then was removed and shot at dawn by the forum firing squad!!!!!!!

As you want to make things public - sadly on a thread meant to be for your 'mate' but there you go.

 

No one forces you to post here but you do sign up for rules. Twice in the last two weeks we have lost the forum due to the selfish attitude of people who think that they are above the rules and can do what they want - lets all post every post in every thread, the forum will be shut within the hour and there will be no publicity for anyone.

 

Interesting you chose to single ME out as well and not mention the other mod who took action against you - hey I'm priviledged

 

Toys? Nah its all right mate I'm a bit above that but yours are strewn off way back down the street.

 

Now have the decency to leave this thread for what it should be - publicity for a testimonial for a top bloke who has given a lot to PL speedway :mad:

Are tickets availiable on the door???

 

As confirmed by the man himself on Thursday at Redcar "Yes, turn up & pay".

I guess to help ease the queues at the turnstiles, complimentary ticket holders (& advance ticket holders?) are being directed to a separate entrance.

 

Also, as mentioned in the recent press release, Stoney is replacing Mark Courtney in the "Middlesbrough" pairing, thus re-uniting the 1997 Pairs winners of Long Eaton.

 

... and I guess this is as good a time as any to mention that we'll be producing the DVD of the meeting on Kevin's behalf, to be available through kevin's website at A Little Bit Of A Do as well as at GRT Media

 

Cheers,

Bob
