Isle Of Wight Wightlink Warriors 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.

Bloody hell, 2008! Didn't realise it was that long ago.

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!..."

I hadn't realised IOW had changed their race night to Thursday's. Any reason why they've changed it from Tuesday?

think iow need to make changes out with compton and smart strengthen reserves and bring in another 7 point rider that can do all and more than the present no 1

Should never of got rid of perks for Compton, said it was strange at the time.

[whistlegang 88]

I think Stoke are the team that need the changes most!

Joe has signed for the IOW on a temp basis till Benji Compton recovers from a broken scaphoid.
