Flying High Issue 6

Essential guide to Arlington
SPEEDWAY plans to return to Arlington Stadium on
Saturday, May 22, when Newcastle visit.
This is a double header with the Championship league
match against the Diamonds starting at 5pm (note the
start time), followed by the NDL match against the
Newcastle Gems.
It’s still four riders, four laps and they’re still
turning left. Some things have not changed.
However, Covid-19 regulations means there will be
changes from what you will have been used to in
previous seasons.
Here’s Flying High’s quick guide.
1. Entry by advance purchase ONLINE tickets only
2. No “on-the-day” walk-up admission by cash/card (This is
Government / Local Authority ruling that we have to strictly
enforce)
3. 2020 Season tickets and 10-match tickets remain valid.
Holders of these tickets DO NOT have to book and you will
NOT receive new tickets for the 2021 season. There will be a
dedicated, clearly marked, entrance point for season ticket /
10-match ticket holders.
4. General admission tickets are on sale now for the first four
matches to enable fans to budget and phase their spending.
5. Eastbourne Speedway WILL require a valid e-mail address and
contact telephone number when ordering your ticket(s) for us
to be able to send your electronic tickets to you. (We can
accept no responsibility if invalid email addresses are
provided).
6. Inside Arlington: You will find the stadium is split into two
areas. Area 1: Home Straight covered stand and stock car track
and 1st PITS bend terracing. Area 2: Back straight grandstand +
Hailsham bend and home straight area up to turnstile area.
7. You cannot move between the two areas. (This ensures social
distancing to agreed limits with Local Authority and must be
strictly adhered to)
8. Area 1 will have a specific turnstile, as will Area 2.
9. Car parking: Cars will be parked in designated areas which will
correspond to the area of the stadium for which you have
purchased tickets. Full details of this will be issued in the weeks
before fixtures commence.
10. Programmes will be sold in plastic packets. £3 per programme.
Correct money only. No change given. They will also be available
ONLINE as a download also for the cost of £3.00.
11. Specific seats cannot be pre-booked and will be strictly limited
to be available within set social distancing guidelines and
criteria. If seated / sitting you will be shown to your seats by a
Steward and will be socially distanced from anyone outside of
your group once seated. We will attempt to seat you in your
preferred area but seating will be on a first come, first served
basis.
12. Spectators will not be allowed into the pits before or after the
meeting. Sorry, but again this is to ensure Covid security.
13. You can read more and keep find out the latest on the club
website here and here.
14. Please follow the instructions of stewards at all times.
15. Everyone who has purchased tickets ONLINE will be sent an
update e-mail 24 hours before the Match to detail any changes /
easements to Covid-19 policy between the time the Tickets were
purchased and the Match taking place.
16. It is envisaged that these processes will apply to ALL Speedway
fixtures at Arlington until at least 21st June 2021 and most
probably a lot longer (21st June is the date of the planned final
easing of restrictions laid out by UK Government which may or
may not change)
