Islander15 1,065 Posted April 26, 2016 Will travel to IOW on a Tuesday, but complain about a Sunday meeting at Rye House? Last time I was at Smallbrook was for a PL meeting against Berwick in October, possibly in their last season before closing. There were no more than 150 people there. I hope the crowds pick up once the holiday season starts. Sorry to say, but I don't think speedway is sustainable on the island IOW closed at the end of the 2013 season but left the PL after the 2008 season. That's 5 seasons in the NL since you've last been down. But hopefully the new promotion's new initiatives can attract better crowds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Does any other BSF member find the IoW website difficult to follow? Yes, the clearly have put a lot of work in, but as you say it's hard to use. It feels clunky, and the man with the crash helmet makes it hard to read. Like Teaboy says they've put a lot of work in so I don't want to knock it but tbh I used the portal website instead of the official website. I have had another try at negotiating the IoW website and guess what? As the old saying goes "...I got nowhere FAST!..." Here's the IoW website Link...http://www.iowislanders.co/ Edited April 26, 2016 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,137 Posted April 26, 2016 I hadn't realised IOW had changed their race night to Thursday's. Any reason why they've changed it from Tuesday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
