BOURNEMOUTH: ISLE OF WIGHT V BUCCANEERS (NL) - PREVIEW

 

MONDAY AUGUST 02, 2010

Bournemouth Castle Cover Wessex Marine Buccaneers cross the Solent on Tuesday night (3rd August) for a crucial National Development league tie against the Isle of Wight Islanders (7.30pm).

 

With the Buccaneers having won their last two away matches they will boosted by the fact that the Islanders have already lost three times at home in the league this season. But with newly crowned British U18 champion Brendan Johnson and former Bournemouth rider Danny Warwick both in opposition the Buccaneers know that they will need to be at their keenest if they are to extend that away sequence of victories.

 

"We could do with a 4-point win" said Garry May "but it won't be easy. When the Islanders have won they have won big and made recent changes, nbut it is these sort of meetings where we need to pick up the points. The play-offs isn't beyond us still and we are determined to make it there and to do so we must be looking for as many league points as possible. "

 

The Buccaneers would actually be in a play-off position if Mildenhall are forced to withdraw from the league, the club having recently been put up for sale and have frozen their fixtures whilst a buyer can be sought,

Isle of Wight - N,Simmons, L.Smethills, D.Warwick. B.Johnson, B.Hopwood, D.Felton, T.Hill

Line Up: Ben Hopwood, Tom Hill Dean Felton, Mark Baseby, John Resch Aaron Baseby

M Baseby got the gate and was leading, until Hopwood picked up some great drive around the outisde of bend 2 and went straight past him. Those 2 were well clear of the reserves, until M Baseby went to give it the big 'un around the outside of bend 1, but his bike went, and he did very well to stay on, giving the I.o.W. another 5-1!

Comments: Brundle on a Tactical Ride.

All 4 back unsatisfactory start, good gates from Warwick & Brundle.

Re-Run: Again excellent gating from Warwick and Brundle, but Warwick really gets over quick to Brundle to slow him down and take the lead. Johnson struggling at the back, just missing out on the line to Halsey.

Smethills away very quickly, with Simmons pulling clear from the Buccs on the back straight. M Baseby then rides round the pair of them like they were stood still, before M Baseby picked up drive on the 2nd bend, and slid off. Simmons did very well to lay his bike down and avoid him. Now sitting up, should be OK. Race awarded.

Ambulance now on track. Mark Baseby now up on his feet and into ambulance, holding his wrist?

Great start from Halsey into the lead for an 8-1 position, but Felton quickly past Brundle, before setting after Halsey. At the same time as Felton passed Halsey into the lead, Hopwood went round Brundle at the back, before taking Halsey down back straight, then he got Felton on the line, for a 11 point swing in the race! Great stuff from the I.o.W. Brundle retired.

Brundle away well, but Hopwood outside him on bend 2. Brundle then lost control on 3rd bend, causing Simmons to fall, and getting himself excluded. 3 riders in re-run. Brundle tried to cut back under Hopwood on 3rd bend, but lost control and fell. Simmons, for the 3rd time tonight, laid his bike down, and is up walking gingerly back to pits. Brundle also walking back on his own.

I.o.W. away for the 5-1, Warwick just in front of Hopwood, before Mason falls off on 1st bend, lap 2. Quickly up and ok though. Howarth not giving up to be fair, Warwick getting the max though! Mason retired.

Fear not Sandie,the burgers were absolutely fine,well at least the ones from the main bar were. They are definitely the best in British Speedway.

 

Please can someone sort out the Wightlink Flyer arrangements.Yet again,we were left high and dry,both early evening and after the meeting.I do know Crouch is pulling his hair out trying to make sense of it all.

 

Last night we got the 6.15pm ferry across from Portsmouth.Got on the train that was waiting at Ryde Pierhead.The train timetable told us it left at 6.50.However,the Bus that was at the promenade,also left at 6.50pm.I understand that folk on the bus pleaded with the driver to wait for the train,as they knew speedway folk were on it.So as we got to the prom,we saw the bus leaving the depot. We had to take a £6 taxi ride,making this an expense we didnt want.

 

Towards the end of the meeting,we decided to get on the bus with a couple of races to go.I understand that the bus needs to leave at 9.25 to ensure everyone can catch the 9.45 ferry.No such luck.The driver insisted that he had to wait until the Final race.Fine.By this time we knew we would miss the 9.45,due to all the stoppages.We sat back ready to watch Ht15.Low and behold,the driver pulls away before the riders take to the track! So not only were we going to have to wait another hour at the pierhead,we also had to miss a race.Not very happy at all.

 

To be fair,I did the same journey last week,and it worked to perfection.

 

Oh,and I did enjoy seeing the Islanders thump the Buccs.

Fear not Sandie,the burgers were absolutely fine,well at least the ones from the main bar were. They are definitely the best in British Speedway.

 

Maybe you should advise Brendan that he should have the Kentucky after the meeting not before

[Bryn]

Please tell me which burger van to avoid when we come over in a weeks time!

 

Sandie - please be more specific regarding the date of your expedition to the Isle as the Border Guards will have to be informed / alerted as you'll no doubt appreciate.

Bit of a disappointing meeting this one and at one time it seemed we might run out of riders as those from both teams fell by the wayside. Hope all the sick and wounded are soon recovered.

 

Must agree with BobC's comments about the Wightlink Flyer travel arrangements. First time I have sampled this method of visiting IOW and, although I know I probably caught them on a bad day, I will not be doing so a second time. Tis a pity that it can break down like this as there are several hundred thousand people (each one a possible customer) sitting on the Islanders doorstep in Pompey and Gosport. Any experiencing a trip such as last nights are hardly likely to want to repeat the experience.

 

On a brighter note I thoroughly enjoyed my steak and mushroom baguette in the bar as always. Best food currently in Speedway, only those marvellous hot pork sarnies at Cradley could better them.
