Hey guys, there is a new feature film being release this month in the cinema that heavily features speedway. In the video below, Eagles TV caught up with the star, director and hero of the ADVENTURE BOYZ movie Howard J Ford, along with members of the cast whilst at Arlington Stadium during the Eastbourne 'Eagles' vs Leicester 'Lions' meeting on 30/06/2019. Partly filmed at Arlington stadium in 2018 including on track racing action from the Eagles treble winning team, ADVENTURE BOYZ is set for release on the 20th July at the Halisham Pavilion. Inspired by parent’s observations on how much time kids, and adults alike, spend on their devices, ADVENTURE BOYZ aims not only to entertain the whole family, but to remind children about the exhilaration and joy of discovering and experiencing the outside world. Starring Howard J Ford and his own children, Rory and Felix, and surrounded with an amazing cast, from Harry Potter to World War Z, plus the star of Never Let Go, Adventure Boyz has an outrageous plot with a profound scope for the 'boyz' to learn from real life experiences. The positive messages contained in the film are already garnering a lot of support and interest, and has enjoyed a fantastic reception at Cannes. Private Film Industry screenings are planned during the coming weeks in London and it is scheduled for local screenings in Sussex during the School Holiday period. The full trailer for the movie can be viewed by visiting : http://www.adventure-boyz.com

All of the videos from this match are now on the Warriors Media Channel, and can be viewed by clicking the link below. https://www.speedwayportal.com/2017-meeting-11 The DVD is also available to pre order and will be completed very soon.

ISLE OF WIGHT "Wightlink" Warriors vs CRADLEY "Motor Market" Heathens : National League : 18/05/2017 This Meetings Multimedia page is now live on the Warriors media channel. Containing all the information regarding this meeting for both home and away fans Just click the link below https://www.speedwayportal.com/warriors-2017-meeting-08 All the upcoming media including press releases, interviews, behind the scenes videos etc will be added as they become available. It's going to be a great meeting, what do you think? Andy

So, who's going over to the Island later, and what do you think the score will be?

Hi Gordon, yes there was a few dips and bumps on the track the first day. However, all the riders and families I spoke to said they enjoyed riding the track and was complimentary towards it, so must look worse than it was to ride etc. What I can say is that on Day 2 whilst the riders were having their off track training, Team Warrior worked tirelessly on the track all day, even battling a down poor of torrential rain half way through the day so that it would be top for the riders on day 3. Again, the comments on day 3 were that they liked it on Day 1, but it was even better on Day 3. So you can be the judge of that once the footage for day 3 is uploaded. Many thanks, Andy

Hi David, quite a lot of people, myself included come over from the mainland each meeting. The cheapest way I would say is to book the FastCat from Portsmouth. Book your ticket through the www.wightwarriors.co website and you get a discount on the ticket. You would have to pay for parking for the evening in Portsmouth, or find a free spot somewhere. You can book a FREE Taxi up to 24 hours before the meeting by contacting the club on speedwayontheisland@yahoo.co.uk which will pick you up from the ferry crossing point and take you to the stadium, and after the meeting the taxi will return you to the ferry point FREE of charge also. However, the most fun way is to drive over from Portsmouth, come up to the Premier Lounge after the meeting and talk to the promoters and riders etc, and then catch the 11pm ferry back with most of the riders and other fans. Makes it more of an event. Andy

Hi guys, this coming Saturday, over on the Island we are having a pre Valentines party named "For The Love Of Warriors Speedway" where there will be much fun and frolics going on I am sure. A part of this evening will be a question and answer section with promoters Barry Bishop & Martin Widman on the mic. Whilst there will be many questions taken from the floor I am sure, we wanted to open it up to the speedway community and invite you to post any questions you would like answered on here that we can present to them on the evening. This section of the evening will be filmed and placed on the Warriors Media Channel with all the answers to your questions. Many thanks, Andy

The Wightlink Warriors with Speedwayportal.com have launched a new section on the Wightlink Warriors official media channel where fans can relive the whole of 2016 from the start. The Wightlink Warriors media channel already provide a wealth of information about the club such as sponsors, riders, My First Skid, Interviews, behind the scenes and Isle of Wight attractions and is designed to complement and interact with the Warriors Website. Andy Hague from Speedwayportal.com said "The team are constantly contemplating and implementing new ideas to bring the Warriors front and centre with their media channel and online presence. We strive to do all we can to use the most important platform, the world wide web, to bring the fans and sponsors as much footage as we are able to, and show the fans that are not able to attend the Warriors home meetings, the atmosphere and excitement that has been created on the Island with the Warrior Way.” Barry Bishop Commercial Director of the Wightlink Warriors added "We know that our media channel on Speedwayportal.com proved a massive hit with fans and sponsors alike in 2016. The Warriors have an ever increasing presence online, be that from our website, media channel, media partners or sponsors that put the Wightlink Warriors on their websites and we know that this will pay huge dividends helping us to continue to spread the Warrior Way across the Island, UK and globe. We want to interact with as many people as we can and explain and show them about speedway, the Wightlink Warriors, the Warrior Way and the Isle of Wight. Speedway is exciting, thrilling and family fun and all our show windows need to portray this and Speedwayportal.com is leading the way. We know that we have to use every tool we can for marketing and we are not shy about being creative and innovative and targeting a particular age group with a different type of medium.

With the launch of the new Warriors Website, 6 riders signed for the team, 3 of which are new to the club. Major track work currently being completed along with fence repairs etc. Great new and current sponsors aboard for 2017. What are your thoughts? Andy

Hi guys, as greg, pitstop and Islander15 have said, Bryn's passing has been acknowledged throughout the speedway world on nearly every platform, such is the impact Bryn had in the sport and as a person. As a club, the Warriors are currently in discussions for a fitting tribute to Bryn, as soon as there is more news on this I will post it up on here. For those that don't follow the Warriors on Facebook, below is a few words by Barry Bishop "I have been contemplating what to write about Bryn Williams all day, while working on the Smallbrook track with the rest of the track team. I have to say that Bryn has been on my mind all day while we removed the bend 4 camber, sorted the home straight and took down the back straight safety fence ready for replacement .... and then It dawned on me that while thinking what to write about Bryn I was really doing his bidding, what he would have wanted me to do and to continue to work to make Smallbrook the best it can be for the island and beyond. Bryn really was Mr. Speedway - he did it all. Even though he loved every level of speedway I believe his passion was always grass roots speedway. He was always at the Southern Track Meetings commentating and when I did the worlds First Ladies only speedway school there was no one other than Bryn who I wanted to send out reassuring and informed commentary over the tannoy system at Iwade on that amazing day. Behind the scenes here at Smallbrook he travelled each week with Chris and took on a variety of roles including press officer, programme contributor and track announcer. With his own personal style he brought considerable knowledge, comedy and enthusiasm to our show. Bryn was stubbornly passionate about speedway but he was a selfless warrior to the sport and he was indeed a knowledge bank and stato for each and every rider. He loved the Isle of Wight and was first in the queue at our fans forums when we decided to consider bringing speedway back and Bryn always offered advice and caution when he felt it necessary. I shall miss you Bryn, not only for your speedway knowledge, written word or presentation skills, but because you were one of the nicest and most decent people, not only in speedway but on the planet. A dedicated believer in positivity and not only what speedway is today but what it can be tomorrow. God's speed my friend. Until we meet again."

Hi guys, just in case you didn't already know, the new Warriors Website went live at 10am this morning. www.wightwarriors.co Enjoy
