During the winter 2023/2024 the IOW Warriors promotion put a constant drip feed of information on their website but since 3rd November 2024 there has been a total silence on the website which I find rather worrying for the forthcoming season of racing at Smallbrook Stadium. I do hope some news will be posted soon to put my worries to rest.

Wightlink Warriors Update.

Barry and I would like to update all our volunteers, fans, sponsors and riders on the 2025 season. As everyone knows, running any event on the Isle of Wight has its own challenges and speedway is no different, but what we can tell you is that we are continuing to work with Wightlink Ferries to find a mutually agreeable support package that ensures we can operate this season as well as securing the future for the club going forward into next year and beyond.

Since restarting the speedway in 2016, we have received tremendous support from Wightlink, but it is recognised that circumstances do change, and discussions are taking longer this year than in the past, however we do hope to be able to update you all in the very near future.

We recognise that we are well past the point where we normally have fixtures arranged, sponsors in place, teams announced; so frustration will be present amongst our valued volunteers, and those sponsors and supporters both on the Island and those on the mainland trying to book holidays to coincide with the speedway season. Apologies are offered for these delays to those that choose the Isle of Wight for their holiday destination expecting to enjoy their “fix” of speedway on the longest track in the country.

When the deal with Wightlink is finalised, we will have to make some rapid decisions and will need the support of everyone if the decision is made to progress. We sincerely hope that a positive outcome can be achieved and communicated to you all shortly.

Lydd Speedway Update

Lydd Speedway will be working towards becoming a fully licensed track.

With Try Speedway already confirmed for a training day in early March, and the Sussex Eagles Motorcycle Club also planning to host events, preparations are well underway.

A range of different events is currently being considered, with the initial focus on hosting a PIT BIKE competition. Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Additional events are also planned, including speedway events and other motorcycle activities.

As part of ongoing improvements, a safety upgrade will be carried out, including the installation of an air fence, which is scheduled to be fitted this month, weather permitting.

What we will be also focusing on is getting the younger kids getting plenty of practice on there Revvi bikes.
