Chris116 753 Posted June 24, 2022 Report and scores on the Warriors website for the opening meeting of the season on 23rd June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris116 753 Posted September 7, 2022 Very sorry to hear that the last meeting of the season which was due to take place tomorrow, Thursday, has been cancelled due to the weather. Even more unhappy that due to Wightlink not running the late ferry from Ryde to Portsmouth this year I have not been able to see any of the racing at Smallbrook. Here's to a successful 2023 for the Worriers and Wightlink restoring their pre-covid timetable so I can visit and see some speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should have contacted the promotion to see if you could have got a lift from someone on the late Fishbourne to Portsmouth service 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,849 Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) An update on a member of my family who did start out having a go at speedway at Isle of Wight and Iwade. Now got his eyes on a different sport, but maybe if he is ever famous might drop a word in for the sport . Remember reading his mum had nothing but nice things to say about Barry Edited September 9, 2022 by iris123 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dickie Head 240 Posted January 28, 2023 Warriors website reporting a local paper’s article about Wightlink restoring the late evening Fastcat link back to the mainland from March. That’s good news if we can be back to Portsmouth by 10 pm or just after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Means I can do a few day trips to the island and spend the day on the steam railway followed by speedway in the evening. Already looking forward to seeing my first NORA meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not new as Scunthorpe ran the same events last season with four teams taking part and are looking to expand the ‘ British Amateur League ‘ in 2023 but good to see more opportunities out there .Pehaps I.O.W. could join in with Scunthorpe and have a seven team league ?
