Nikki Coates:
"This football match all came about because me and Gary Dunlop wanted a kick at each other and we thought it would be a good idea to do it for charity. So we decided the Children's Cancer Unit in Royal Victoria Belfast was a very worthy cause to raise money for and thought mix it up and go Road Racers v Short circuit Racers.It's created plenty of interest through social media and through friends and sponsors. I got the Crusaders Football Club to give us the stadium for the day.
It will be held at Seaview, Shore road Belfast on Sunday 29th of January 2017 kicking off at 2pm. The teams are ready and we have top names from both sides including all the Dunlops, Irwins, Seeley, Sheilds and myself playing if I'm a top name haha. Me and Gary will have to take the captaincy for this match and I'm sure he will struggle to live it down when we win 😉👍🏻.
We will hopefully have Liam Beckett and others along to manage the teams and we are only charging £5 in and kids free entry. Each player is getting a sponsor of £50 and Gary Dunlop has set up a just giving page on Facebook which has already had a lot of generous people donate. The bar will be open on the day and hopefully get a good turn out for a good cause.
On my Racing I've been talking with different teams in England from as far back as the middle of last season trying to sort something for the superstock 1000 class as I feel that is my best option to progress after winning the Irish Superbike Championship in 2016. Unfortunately up to now the package either hasn't been quite right or affordable but I may have an exciting option available in the next few days so fingers crossed. I'm trying my best but, as a lot of riders are, I'm struggling to gather enough funds to compete competitively across the water. Finger crossed I can sort something.
Thanks
Nikki Coates"
