Haza Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 We are thinking of going tomorrow but we really need to no can we pay on the day ? Can someone confirm this one way or the other we have looked on the web site but all it sat is to buy tickets in advance . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 That's two more that won't be going - a simple question but not traveling only to be turned away because cant pay on the day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 They can obviously afford to have people not turn up, like you I looked on website and it only mentioned advanced tickets, I also phoned the number but no answer on that either. I wasn't going to drive 140 miles there to find I could not get in. IT'S a bit silly advertising on here if its not going to checked or updated.

Haza Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 If you want results you could have a long wait some of us are still waiting to a question ask earlier in the week . Why advertise an event but don't seem to be bothered to answer follow up questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ica Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 TOM NEAVE TAKES BRITISH INDOOR TITLE ON LAST CORNER CLIFF HANGER Tom Neave pulled off a fantastic pass on the last corner to take the win in Grand Final of British Indoor Flattrack Championship at Arena UK on 27th December, after having a great start to day by taking 2 wins and second in his heat races. The only rider to beat Tom during the heats was Scunthorpe's Speedway Ace Ashley Birks who also took two wins in his heat races. Other heat winners were Tom's twin brother Team Suzuki rider Tim, who had two wins, Shorttrack regular riders Glyn Pocklington also on two wins, and the big surprise of the day was Shorttrack's # 1 Ade Collins without a win in his 3 heat races. From the 32 rider field the top 16 points scorers from the heats progressed t the 8 lap Semi's. In Semi 1 it was Ashley Birks who got the hole shot, looking good for his first Shorttrack meeting, stretching the lead but by lap 6 Tom Neave started to pull him in and Pete Boast passed Rich Mason to take 3rd spot. On the last lap Tom was trying everything to get past Birks but didn't quite make it and Boast held on to take the last transfer spot to the final. In Semi 2 it was Alan Birtwistle who stole the show, taking a flag to flag win but he had his work cut out holding off the spectacular Aussie speedway star Kevin Doolan who was riding high and wide on every corner, trying to get a big run around outside of Birtwistle. Kev didn't quite get better of Birtwistle and had to settle for second spot and third went to Glyn Pocklington. The Last Chance race for the remaining final places saw frightening crash on the back straight on the first lap with Rich Mason and Tom Woolley going down, Mason ending up worse off with broken collar bone. In restart it was Ade Collins who hit the front for the first time, with young Tim Neave trying hard for first two laps to get past but Ade kept his cool and to make sure he took the win, Neave was second and Damien Koppe third and taking last spot for final was Darren Trapmore who managed to hold Ben Baker off. Tensions were running high for the start of the 12 lap Grand Final for British Indoor, with Ashley Birks on pole from Birtwistle and Tom Neave on the front row, Doolan, Boast and Pocklington behind the and Collins, Tim Neave, Koppe and Trapmore off the back row. On the first attempt pole man Ashley Birks and Birtwistle clashed, stopping the race, with Birks put back to the penalty line for the restart. On the first corner of the restart Collins went down, was hit by another rider and took no further part in the final. Only on the second restart did everyone get around the first corner safely, with Boastie and Birtwistle side by side for first lap,then Birtwistle just edged past Boast to take the lead, with Pocklington third Birks fourth, Tom Neave fifth and Doolan sixth. On lap 3 Birks went down on turn 3 and was out, with no chanceof winning after a great performance all day. Tom Neave continued to work his way through the field passing Pocklington and later a great out side line to pass on Boastie. By lap 10 Tom was putiing pressure on Birtwistle, Boastie was holding 3rd spot from Pocko who in turn was under pressure from Doolan. On the final lap Birtwistle was still leading but going into last corner TomNeave held it flat out around outside to surprise Birtwistle, who then gave it a big handful of throttle and went down, never making it to the chequered flag, as Tom bounced off the fence to take the win. Boastie took second spot and Pockington took the final podium spot. . #30 Alan Birtwistle.....#54 Pete Boast ..................................................................#1 Ade collins in front of Grandstand . 32 Riders ready to do battle .............................................................................................................#16 Ashley Birks ready for the Grand Final..................
