Fast Freddie Challenge Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) The eagerly anticipated Fast Freddie Challenge is just days away - and extra details have been revealed about the big day. Before the action gets underway, supporters will also have a photo opportunity with the man himself, Fredrik Lindgren. Two professional photographers will be on hand with Freddie from 3:15 to 3:45, and pictures can be taken, printed and signed by Lindgren for a cost of just £5. Supporters will also get the chance to watch racing of a different kind as eight motocross riders take part in three flat track races around the Monmore Green circuit during the interval. A range of merchandise has been produced for the event, with hoodies available at £30 plus T-Shirts and caps available for £12 and £10 respectively. Other items such as posters, key rings and pens will also be for sale. Finally, a 36-page full-colour souvenir programme has been produced featuring exclusive family photographs from Lindgren's childhood, extensive interviews with some of the biggest influences on his career and four pages with the man himself recalling his ten year Wolves career. Hopefully a lot of you will be at Monmore Green on Sunday! Edited March 7, 2013 by Fast Freddie Challenge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully coming down but never been before so want to get there in plenty of time. The first event starts at 3:15pm, so I believe the car park will be open from about 3pm, at the latest, but it could be earlier, I'm not sure on the definite time, but they need to give people time to park before the photograph time with Freddie Lindgren. You can park on Hickman Avenue and Sutherland Avenue around the ground anyway which are the two roads which approach the stadium, so there is normally loads of parking available for fans if the car park is full.

Soul Crew Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 What is the refund policy for Sunday means as I presume it's not classed as a normal Wolves meeting, nothing worse than handing £17 over for a meeting like this and then seeing three or four heats and then an abandoned meeting.

ellioth4 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Weather is looking good for tomorrow, currently going to be dry and cloudy, might be the occasional rain shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Anybody know anything about a rider withdrawing heard couple of names mentioned and being replaced by Darcy Ward ? Somebody just text me this but seem to remember something about Ward and Holder being unavailable Edited March 9, 2013 by flagrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Freddie Challenge Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) The organisers of the Fast Freddie Challenge would like to assure fans that it is very rare for a testimonial meeting to be called off due to the weather. Riders are always desperate to get the meeting on because it is for one of their fellow riders, and it is most likely that they will do everything possible to ride even if the conditions are difficult. In addition, the forecast for Wolverhampton is looking much more positive at this moment in time. Today the weather has been much improved, with only very light drizzle. Tomorrow is forecast to be a little cold and windy but dry. There might be a slight possibility of a few showers, but given that this is a testimonial it would need to be very bad for the meeting to be off. If there is unfortunately no choice but to call the meeting off, normal re-admission will apply. There will be no refunds on the day, but re-admission tickets will be valid for the re-run which will take place on Monday evening if the weather is better by then. A result can be declared after 12 heats. I urge people planning on attending not to be put off by the weather and hope many of you will be at Monmore Green tomorrow to give Freddie the excellent day he deserves. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, Nicki Pedersen has pulled out of the Fast Freddie Challenge. However, Darcy Ward makes his first appearance of 2013 in the meeting after answering a late call to ride.

T.N.T. Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thrilled that DARCY WARD has answered the call just 24 hours before the meeting and has arranged flights from Poland where he is practising to replace Nicki Pedersen. ...... Darcy was hoping to be in the line up before, but as he was having a few problems regarding his visa, it was decided to declare the 16 riders. Weather forecasts for tomorrow look fine and hop everyone enjoys the day ......I will !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
