Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted December 6, 2012 Always had a soft spot for the Islanders, so its brilliant to see them putting together a team that could really challenge for honours in 2013. Bet my old mate the Baron of Merstone is getting excited 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryn 413 Posted December 9, 2012 A full official club press release will be issued later today but I can confirm that Byron Bekker, Brandon Freemantle and indeed Danny Stoneman are the trio that will complete the Wightlink Islanders starting septet in 2013. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

builderbob 44 Posted December 9, 2012 the only real differance between this team and last years original team [before injuries] is ellis is going to be a free scoring reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted December 9, 2012 the only real differance between this team and last years original team [before injuries] is ellis is going to be a free scoring reserve Sorry mate i beg to differ, Tom Pom, will guarantee points away from home, same with Darryl, and Byron, throw in young Ellis, and they are a potent force to be reckoned with away from home, away form has been IOW,s weakness in recent years, this team wont get ommered away.

roguetrader 51 Posted December 9, 2012 This has to be the best National League side the Isle of Wight have fielded. Well done to the Management team and every success for 2013. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
21st century heathen 220 Posted December 10, 2012 WOW, what a line-up. That is going to take some beating. If Darryl gets to grips with the much bigger circuit quickly there are going to be some big home scores and that's a very good team to take to any away track too. It's a bit early to state outright but I don't think we'll see a better 'on paper' team come to tapes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradtony 12 Posted December 10, 2012 Well we live in hope ,after a few years of unrest lets hope this team will help save the club and put bums on seats. Great credit must go to the two promoters Chris and Kev for compiling this strong team . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ommer Mon 381 Posted December 10, 2012 It looks like a fantastic team to me and I do like the 'Dudley South' tag. I agree with Greyhoundp that there could be a few Heathens fans turning up at the likes of Buxton Coventry and Stoke to cheer our former lads on. It could get a bit confusing at Monmore Wood when they come visiting. Some of us have never fully got to grips with cheering the red and blue helmet colours there and this will only make things even more confusing. Good luck to the Islanders. You've certainly done your sums! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunty 189 Posted December 10, 2012 Just what the NL needs, teams that are strong all over the country and actually makes the racing and meetings better! Last year there were too many 60-30 odd victories for Heathens and Mildenhall.....Dont see that this year! Going to be special! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
