tocha Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I haven't found a thread for this but, doubtless, I shall be informed if one exists already. I have no connection to the Islanders nor have I ever visited the Isle but I know I must as I have been told what a lovely place it is. Now to the point. Following the demise of Bournemouth and Weymouth then Plymouth opting for PL, IOW must find themselves out on a limb now with no local rivals.

vog Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 To be fair, I gather that the IoW make most of their money from holiday makers, so local rivals won't effect them as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpointfanatic22 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Plymouth haven't as yet been confirmed as being accepted into the PL, so you may yet have south coast rivals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Steve Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Dont write off the Wildcats yet ;O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Central Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Dont write off the Wildcats yet ;O) Steve, They can't keep a good man down, or is that a good speedway team!! I know that you had the stuffing knocked out of you previously but if you can come back, so can the Wildcats. I know that there were a lot of people down there who were put out by previous actions, so if they can all come together for the good of the club it can work.

alan_boon Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'd expect Paul Starke to sign very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad621 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I visited the IOW two years ago and went to two meetings Even though the team had dropped down a level I found the racing at times entertaining It reminded me of many second half races at Peterborough from years gone by and well worth a visit if you are indeed on holiday on the Island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Please tell me theres yet another mistake on the BSPA site. It says Simmo's average is 8.90 (here) yet he ended last year on 8.05 (here) (according to their site, though that was October's average so really it should be slightly different but not 0.85). I checked the average's of the others from last year and Morris. Atkin, White-Williams, Young, Bates and Andrews will all start on last year's average with Lambert's increasing by 0.01 and Herne's 0.51. Even Herne's average seems a massive increase from what, 2 meeting maybe for Bournmeouth during October, yet Hornets rode then, and I don't think they were all injured! Is there something I've missed here, or is it a mistake? If it's a mistake we'll soon know. Edited February 7, 2011 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistake is in someone confusing the average fro Mark Simmonds with that for Nick Simmons. The correct avaerage for Nick is 8.05.

Islander15 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks for your reply Malcolm ^^^ The Islanders have signed 2 more: John Resch & Tom Hill. See here . Hill's a good signing, especially at home, on a low average. But I'm not so sure about Resch. So who's the other 4? Starke, Smethills and Warwick equal 21.70 and with only 24.28 left 1 of them will definitely miss out. I hear that Dan Blake won't be fit for the start of the season, but does anyone know if Hopwood will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenB1 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Sadly not Ben and also not Danny, but two more will be announced this week and the final two soon after one may well surprise a few! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wightlink flyer Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thought I read that we had announced another couple of signings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhidassa Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 You have. IOW signed Brendan Johnson & Lee Smethills (see here) and Ben Hopwood has gone to the Hawks on a full transfer (see here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Thanks Lorna. Just reading the link you gave (here ) it says Resch & Brendan at reserve, so will that mean Tom Hill is number 8, or is there a mistake ?

Jayne Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks Lorna. Just reading the link you gave (here ) it says Resch & Brendan at reserve, so will that mean Tom Hill is number 8, or is there a mistake ? There are no official number 8 this year.

RAPIDFIRE Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Think you will find it is Tom and John at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
