Finnish youngster Nike Lunna proved to be one of the most exciting performers at the recent Ben Fund Bonanza at Swindon, and he has agreed to step in to Theo’s Night of Champions this Friday to replace the injured Adam Roynon.

Of course he is a new team mate for Theo in the Scunthorpe team this season. At Swindon his wide riding full-throttle style had the crowd gasping, and he was reputed to be a thrillmaker at the Under-21 round at Leicester last season also.

We will have a full meeting preview tomorrow on the website.

THE FULL FIELD: Kenneth Hansen, Claus Vissing, Aaron Summers, Kevin Wolbert, Rene Deddens, Henkie Koonstra, Rusty Harrison, Theo Pijper, Sam Masters, Thomas Jorgensen, Kevin Doolan, Nike Lunna, Rafal Konopka, Pascal Swart, Rob Branford, Ben Barker.

FREE BUS: The bus coming from Edinburgh will run as it does on every speedway Friday, but for this event it will be FREE to passengers coming out for the Night of Champions. It departs from the Jewel at 5:45 then Waterloo Place, by St Andrew's House at 6.15pm, picking up at Haymarket (6.25pm) and the Maybury (6.35pm).

ADMISSION: Prices will be at the 2015 club rate for admission on the night which is: Adults £17, Seniors/Students £14, Child 12 to 16 £8, Child under 12 £2. For the Testimonial we will not have an advance ticket facility, and please remember that season tickets do not apply.
