Kids go free for rest of season

FLUIDAIR POWER Scunthorpe Scorpions, supported by Henderson Insurance, are offering free admission to all accompanied children under 16 for the remainder of their 2015 speedway meetings at the Eddie Wright Raceway in Normanby Road.

The offer commences with the visit of the Plymouth Devils in a Premier League fixture this Friday (7.30pm).

Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It’s now the summer holidays, and parents are more-than-likely looking at something to keep their children occupied during the long summer evenings.

“For the rest of the season, we’re letting all accompanied children under 16 in for nothing. Hopefully it gives families a night out at a cost they can afford.

“I’m sure any kids will love the speedway racing. Our track is flat-out with the riders at full-throttle all the way around the Eddie Wright Raceway. A typical Friday night is full of thrills & spills.

“We’re always looking at ways at encouraging more younger fans into the Eddie Wright Raceway, as they are the future of this sport. From last year, we extended the £5 child price from their 16th birthday to their 18th birthday, to take into account that children these days have to be in full-time education until the age of 18.”

In all, Scunthorpe’s offer covers the following meetings:

Friday, July 24th – Scorpions vs Plymouth Devils (7.30pm)
Friday, August 7th – Scorpions vs Newcastle Diamonds (7.30pm)
Friday, August 14th – Scorpions vs Redcar Bears (7.30pm)
Friday, August 21st – Scorpions vs Berwick Bandits (7.30pm)
