cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 14, 2012 If they want more fans from the mainland they must think about their return journey as a priority...An earlier start is fine as loing as it doesnt mean an extended interval and tardy running of heats so that I arrive back home again at the same hour as now.... with wightlink looking to cut even more services from the current timetable it seems a logical decision to make. last season it wasn't just us fans making a mad dash to catch the 9.45 fast cat, the riders were also rushing to make the 10pm car ferry. failure to make that sailing would mean a wait until midnight!

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted November 14, 2012 with wightlink looking to cut even more services from the current timetable it seems a logical decision to make. last season it wasn't just us fans making a mad dash to catch the 9.45 fast cat, the riders were also rushing to make the 10pm car ferry. failure to make that sailing would mean a wait until midnight! Interesting, that. Checking the timetable, the earlier fastcat goes at 8.47 so if the meeting took an hour and a half you'd still be on the 9.47 one even if the meeting started 30 minutes earlier. The same applies to the car ferry (to be fair, that is based upon winter timetables). I was very much in favour of the change of time but I am not sure it will assist those coming from the Mainland (other than preventing the mad dash if the meeting runs late). Wacky races back to fishbourne is a tradition. In 2011 I got smuggled across in Barrie Evans van for one meeting. In the charge to the ferry terminal, I was in the back with the bikes and some tools fell on me as we carreered round a bend, the race being in vain as the bloody ferry was nearly an hour late.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 14, 2012 preventing the constant clock watching leading up to the mad rush would be a big bonus for me. at least i can relax a bit and watch the meeting, i don't get home until 12.30 am even when i catch the earlier ferry. the proposed cuts to ferry services start in january 2013. there is currently a petition doing the rounds to demonstrate against the changes to the timetables. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzatopfuel 15 Posted November 15, 2012 It was my idea to start earlier, the main reason being in summertime after riders & mehanics working their nuts off, Its nice to sit down with a shandy,before the treck home, also some suporters apprieciate meeting the riders 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
