STARS ARE GOOD TO GO

KING’S Lynn co-promoter Dale Allitt says the club are ready for the return of supporters to the Adrian Flux Arena – which is scheduled from May 17 as part of the Government roadmap.

Stars bosses have worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to make sure the stadium is able to operate within the Covid-19 social distancing restrictions, including running a British Youth Championship round last summer as a test event ahead of the return of Premiership racing.

Allitt said: “From a speedway perspective it has been a long time coming. We did run some events with the stock cars and one speedway meeting last season, so we are good to go.

“For the speedway, we did that really as a test event just to see how things would be if restrictions were still going to be in place, even though we don’t know the exact stadium requirements that will be in place in May.

“We’re very mindful that we’re Covid secure. We attained the Covid tick last year with how we open the stadium with extra sanitization of hands and extra cleaning of the stadium and toilets. We have also got one-way systems in the bars and cafés around the arena.

“It’s very safe and we’re ready for anything. If the restrictions are similar to what they were last year, then we’re good to go.”
