Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted June 27, 2017 Still harsh whatever way to look at it. Ur gona defend the club aint ya. I think its harsh, too. From the Isle of Wight facebook page, so does Barry Bishop. But its also the right decision. The Warriors simply cannot carry on the way they are now and desperately need a stronger team, particularly at home. Standing in the promotions shoes, I doubt there are many who wouldn't have done the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Skid 425 Posted June 27, 2017 The IOW need Riders experienced on big tracks, who are used to Racing fast, watched Dugard having a practice, he was hugging the white line, like he was glued to it, that's definitely not the quickest way round that track, thought someone would have pointed that out to him.

Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted June 28, 2017 The sport is a numbers & performance game and will always be harsh on some. Campos is never going to be on my exciting riders list but he can do a solid job and score the additional points that IOW need to get some wins on the board.

TMW 532 Posted June 28, 2017 The sport is a numbers & performance game and will always be harsh on some. Campos is never going to be on my exciting riders list but he can do a solid job and score the additional points that IOW need to get some wins on the board. I know all Teams have the same issues but, The Warriors were 0.04 off of having Campos and being able to put Kelsey at reserve. When you see it in Blak and White it makes you think. Kelsey could have been at Reserve where he neeeds to be with his current confidence levels but, it is what it is frustrating 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moleman27 31 Posted July 11, 2017 Well at least it gives them a full 1 to 7. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted July 11, 2017 Terrible signing should have just kept using guests for Govier Unless this is for Mullins in which rr for Govier makes them a tad stronger I guess with wifman taking say a heat 8 ride? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think there is limited time a team can use guests for a rider they have parted company with? Ultimately Portwood is keen, prepared to travel to IOW & was another let down by Kings Lynn so nice to see him fixed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman27 31 Posted July 11, 2017 He scored quite well in their meeting they did, so will score a good few points per meeting, which is better than the guests were doing and their were not any better options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're not upto date. Mullins left ages ago and Govier is at reserve, which is where Portwood slots in. As has been said, it gives the fans a full 1 to 7 and the Warriors fans want a full team to support even if they're not a championship winning septet.

TurnTwo 317 Posted July 11, 2017 Sorry I see, I still do not see the point though when they can just use spooner etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
