greyhoundp Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 The potential at reserve is frightening! Overall that is a good solid team with no weak links in it, but I would have thought Nathan Stoneman would be wanted back by Mildenhall, and I thought Anderson was an Aussie thus ruling him out. Maybe wrong though. I also think 2013 will be a breakthrough year for Dan Stoneman, and I've thought that 2x 3.00 reserves wouldn't necessarily hurt the team as long as Dan can cope with, what I think, would be his first time riding in the top 5 initially. Ando, has partiality, Scottish ancestors, though maybe that is classed as foreign to the IOW . and Ben is back so at least we both got two riders correct. You know its amazing, no one picked up on you suggesting Lewis Blackbird, or Aaron, but as soon as i put NS hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 To be honest, having signed Adam Ellis, they have more than a head start over every other Team, Wait till you see Scunnys new reserve.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) If they want more fans from the mainland they must think about their return journey as a priority...An earlier start is fine as loing as it doesnt mean an extended interval and tardy running of heats so that I arrive back home again at the same hour as now....

Halifaxtiger Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 with wightlink looking to cut even more services from the current timetable it seems a logical decision to make. last season it wasn't just us fans making a mad dash to catch the 9.45 fast cat, the riders were also rushing to make the 10pm car ferry. failure to make that sailing would mean a wait until midnight! Interesting, that. Checking the timetable, the earlier fastcat goes at 8.47 so if the meeting took an hour and a half you'd still be on the 9.47 one even if the meeting started 30 minutes earlier. The same applies to the car ferry (to be fair, that is based upon winter timetables). I was very much in favour of the change of time but I am not sure it will assist those coming from the Mainland (other than preventing the mad dash if the meeting runs late). Wacky races back to fishbourne is a tradition. In 2011 I got smuggled across in Barrie Evans van for one meeting. In the charge to the ferry terminal, I was in the back with the bikes and some tools fell on me as we carreered round a bend, the race being in vain as the bloody ferry was nearly an hour late.

cityrebel Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 preventing the constant clock watching leading up to the mad rush would be a big bonus for me. at least i can relax a bit and watch the meeting, i don't get home until 12.30 am even when i catch the earlier ferry. the proposed cuts to ferry services start in january 2013. there is currently a petition doing the rounds to demonstrate against the changes to the timetables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzatopfuel Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 It was my idea to start earlier, the main reason being in summertime after riders & mehanics working their nuts off, Its nice to sit down with a shandy,before the treck home, also some suporters apprieciate meeting the riders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
