As a Telford 1st timer, can anyone tell me what the standing view is like? Is it worth sitting in the grandstand instead? I would like the freedom to take pictures, wander about and socialise, but, if either my wife or son can't see well enough, then I'd rather sit for their benefit. Help please.

Thanks.

MORRIS ENDS HIS SEVEN-YEAR TELFORD

ITCH AND MOLLER MAKES ICE DEBUT

 

WELSHMAN Phil Morris is about to end a seven-year itch by riding in

the indoor ice speedway international at Telford for the first time since

February 2000.

 

And his appearance in the annual winter classic at the popular Shropshire

venue, on

Sunday February 11th, comes FOURTEEN years after he made history there as a

17-year-old.

 

At the time, Morris was making his indoor ice debut and became the

youngest-ever

rider to race at Telford. Representing Reading, the teenager from Newport,

Gwent,

grabbed the headlines by winning ten of his eleven races.

 

He scored a 15 points maximum from reserve to help England to beat the Rest

of the

World, won his only race in the Best Pairs Knock-out and then won four of his

five

rides in the British Open Championship to finish on the rostrum.

 

Morris, now 31, who has just signed for his home-town club Newport Wasps to

ride

in the Premier League this season, returned to ride at Telford in 1994,

1995, 1999

and 2000, winning the Pairs title with Alun Rossiter on his last visit.

 

His ‘youngest-ever’ record eventually went to two 16 year olds--girl rider

Charly

Kirtland in 2001, also from Newport, and Stoke’s Jack Hargreaves three years

ago.

 

World Indoor Ice co-promoter Graham Drury explains Morris’s absence from

Telford until this year. ‘Phil has been unavailable for seven years either

though

injury or because he has been in New Zealand.

 

‘We are delighted to welcome him back and he is very serious about his

chances of

doing well and is trying to do a deal with former three-times British

Champion Jan

Staechmann to buy his famous ‘pink machine’.’

 

 

PRESS RELEASE No 3/Jan 17th 2007/Page 2

 

 

Morris, who has spent most of his career with Reading, has also had spells

with

Stoke, Newcastle, Poole, Arena Essex and Belle Vue for whom he rode in the

Elite

League last year.

 

World Indoor Ice have named another rider for the 22nd staging of the Telford

Ice

International, booking Edinburgh Monarchs Danish Under 21 international

HENRIK MOLLER for his indoor debut.

 

Moller, 21, who is on loan to Edinburgh from parent track Peterborough and

will

be again this year, plans to have an indoor meeting in Germany the week

before the

Telford event.

 

Drury and co-promoter Ian Thomas expect to complete the 16-strong

international

line-up for Telford within the next week and will stage Mini Quad Racing for

the

first time during the interval at both meetings.

 

All the body colours exclusively provided for the British Open Championship

will be

for sale immediately after the evening meeting and will be individually

signed.

 

The demand for hotel accommodation is high again and the Holiday Inn is the

designated hotel for the Indoor International. It is adjacent to the ice rink

and is

offering a special weekend deal of £34 per person per night including

breakfast and

use of the hotel’s leisure facilities.

JANNIRO BACK AT TELFORD AS JIROUT

SIGNS UP FOR ‘LAST CHANCE’ SALOON

 

COVENTRY’S American international Billy Janniro has joined the

line-up for the 22nd indoor ice speedway international at Telford on

Sunday February 11.

 

And Czech Republic star Mario Jirout, the reigning British Open Champion,

enters

the ‘Last Chance Saloon’ when he signs on the dotted line for his new Premier

League club Mildenhall Fen Tigers.

 

Janniro, 26, who made his only previous Telford appearance in 2003, turned in

an

erratic performance at the Shropshire venue that day. The Californian was

ineffective in the team and individual events but reached the final of the

Speedway

Star Best pairs Knock-out.

 

He won two of his three races in partnership with Australian Jay Stevens only

for

the pair to lose out in the final to English duo Graham Jones and David Howe.

 

‘I am sure Billy will be much more consistent this time,’ says World Indoor

Ice

co-promoter Graham Drury. ‘He has more experience of indoor meetings now and

believes he can be really competitive this time.’

 

Janniro, who is expected to re-sign for Coventry Bees in the Elite League for

the

2007 outdoor season, has been with the Brandon outfit since 2001 although he

had a

spell on loan to Peterborough Panthers before suffering a bad neck injury.

 

World Indoor Ice have named a second Czech Republic international rider for

this

year’s indoor ice extravaganza, Pavel Fuksa from the Pardubice club. Fuksa

made

his Telford debut as a reserve rider in the pairs and individual events last

year,

scoring a creditable six points in the British Open Championship.

 

But all eyes at Telford will again be on Fuksa’s Czech team-mate Mario Jirout

who

will be making his tenth appearance there.

 

Jirout, 30, pleaded for ‘one more chance’ in British speedway after winning

Telford

for the second time a year ago. Now he has got it.

 

The former Peterborough, Somerset and Newcastle rider, who earned the

nick-name

‘The Cheeky Czech’ for his madcap antics, has always been hugely popular and

successful at Telford but regarded as ‘unreliable’ in conventional speedway.

 

After beating Poole’s Edward Kennett in a run-off for the British Open ice

title at

Telford last February, Jirout said: ‘I would swap this trophy for a team

place in

British speedway. I miss the people and the country and desperately want one

more

chance to show I am serious about my racing and that I can do it for a

British team.’

 

Mildenhall are giving Jirout that ‘last chance’ by making him their No 1

this season

and he will sign his contract on the centre green at Telford.

 

‘I have been waiting for this chance for the past two years,’ says Jirout.

‘After my

car accident four years ago, I came back too soon and I wasn’t race-fit. But

I am

confident I am almost back to my best now after having a good season in

Poland.

 

‘Laurence Rogers was my promoter at Somerset and he is signing me for

Mildenhall

and I know he will get the best out of me. I have heard a lot about

Mildenhall’s

‘Barmy Army’ and look forward to putting on a show for many of them at

Telford. I

will be looking out for the black and yellow colours to spur me on.’

 

Jirout is expected to be named captain of the Rest of the World side against

an

England Select in the afternoon meeting and to partner fellow-countryman

Fuksa in

the Best Pairs. But he has his eye on a third British Open Championship to

emulate

Andy Campbell, Jan Staechmann and Wayne Broadhurst.

I know Henrik Moller also picked an injury forcing him to withdraw from the meeting at kiel. Dont know if that will stop him riding at telford though.

[iris123]

Seems not.From what i have seen he only withdrew from the meeting as a precaution.A wise decision in my opinion Must admit i was worried though when they took him off the track on a stretcher and then said the meeting would be held up while the Doctor took him to hospital.Glad to hear he is ok
