paulrickett Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 The countdown is on for Ricky's Big Day this Sunday...hopefully as many fans as possible can make it for a unique celebration of speedway. The doors will open at 3.30pm, admission is the usual £15 for adults, £11 for O65s and £1 for 15s and under and live band Seventh Son will be playing in the Panorama Room at 4pm. Meanwhile, nip over to Facebook for details on car parking....it's another fantastic gesture from our sporting cousins, which came out of the blue (and white!). See you Sunday, wear your team colours and make as much noise as possible for one of Speedway's real heroes. https://www.facebook.com/rickysbigday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 as mentioned on the speedway updates site.. it looks like the ricky ashcroft meeting was a HUGE success in term of support for Ricky. but maybe we all could do our bit, all for the price of a 2nd class stamp. as mentioned on the updates by a fellow supporter, wouldn't it be good if we all wrote to DIY SOS , putting forward rickys case and who knows . some thing MAY come out of it.letters could be sent direct to the B.B.C. or onto sheffield speedway. this is not my ides, but another supporter on the updates site. does any one think this will be possible. lets get as many letters as poss. . ALL FOR THE COST OF A 2ND CLASS STAMP. his family deserve it. can anyone post the DIY SOS address for all to see. please help a cracking rider and his family regain some quality of life. thank you. gt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Is there also a email address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Appreciate the thought, but ....Might be best to get the guy's name correct in any email campaign. Edited March 24, 2015 by Grand Central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Here's the application form. https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006pnjk/contact They ask for a lot of details that the ordinary fan won't know, but presumably you could just fill in the bits you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPD444 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I tried to send an application through the bbc web site but it needs so much personal details about the prospective candidate that I could not complete the application. You will need his full address, personal details about him and his family which I am not privvy to. Great idea and nobody deserves it more than him and his family so a direct approach to the BBC maybe the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 the form was like applying for a job on-line. go to Sheffield speedway with any letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieR Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have a number of the Official Badges from this meeting for sale, with all proceeds going to the fund to aid Ricky in his recovery. I have gold & rose gold (all silver were sold). They are £5 each plus a SAE with a large letter stamp. Please pm me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Has the work started on Ricky's Dad's house yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieR Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Its due to start soon, there were issues originally with planning permission. That is now resolved but the family prefer to wait until the weather improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks for the reply JulieR, it will be wonderful to see the efforts by so many people rewarded with an easier life for Ricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
