THREE cracking meetings in 72 hours…what a start to the new season on BSN!
The first broadcasted speedway meeting of the UK campaign will begin at the Ben Fund Bonanza at Workington on Saturday (March 16) followed by the Charles Wright Testimonial at Redcar the following day and then the Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue on Monday night.
It all starts with the Ben Fund on Saturday and SRBF Chairman Paul Ackroyd admitted: “BSN did a great job for us last year and it was a great way for people who can’t be at the event to still make a contribution to the fund for injured riders, as well as enjoying the meeting of course.
“We are very happy with the arrangement and very grateful.”
The streaming of the Bonanza will generate valuable funds for the Ben Fund, which continues to give aid to riders who have sustained injuries racing speedway in the UK.
Then all roads lead to the Charles Wright Testimonial on Sunday with an equally fabulous line-up for the former British Champion, which includes current World Number 2 Freddie Lindgren, plus Premiership stars Brady Kurtz and Jaimon Lidsey.
On Monday it’s another stunning field for the Peter Craven Memorial at the National Speedway Stadium.
Belle Vue CEO Mark Lemon said: “The response we’ve had on the field we’ve assembled this year has been fantastic and I’m certain the addition of Neils Kristian Iversen will be equally well received.
Each of the three livestreams are available to purchase individually from watch.britishspeedway.co.uk and are not a part of BSN Season Passes, which cover BSN's Premiership and Championship streaming beginning on Thursday 21st March at Leicester.
The Ben Fund Bonanza and Peter Craven Memorial streams are priced at £14.99, with the Charles Wight Testimonial stream being offered to viewers at £12.99.
