Halifaxtiger Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Always had a soft spot for the Islanders, so its brilliant to see them putting together a team that could really challenge for honours in 2013. Bet my old mate the Baron of Merstone is getting excited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 A full official club press release will be issued later today but I can confirm that Byron Bekker, Brandon Freemantle and indeed Danny Stoneman are the trio that will complete the Wightlink Islanders starting septet in 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good solid 1-7, got to be one of the favourites to win some trophies come october 2013 already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builderbob Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 the only real differance between this team and last years original team [before injuries] is ellis is going to be a free scoring reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 the only real differance between this team and last years original team [before injuries] is ellis is going to be a free scoring reserve Sorry mate i beg to differ, Tom Pom, will guarantee points away from home, same with Darryl, and Byron, throw in young Ellis, and they are a potent force to be reckoned with away from home, away form has been IOW,s weakness in recent years, this team wont get ommered away.

roguetrader Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 This has to be the best National League side the Isle of Wight have fielded. Well done to the Management team and every success for 2013. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 WOW, what a line-up. That is going to take some beating. If Darryl gets to grips with the much bigger circuit quickly there are going to be some big home scores and that's a very good team to take to any away track too. It's a bit early to state outright but I don't think we'll see a better 'on paper' team come to tapes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradtony Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well we live in hope ,after a few years of unrest lets hope this team will help save the club and put bums on seats. Great credit must go to the two promoters Chris and Kev for compiling this strong team . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommer Mon Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 It looks like a fantastic team to me and I do like the 'Dudley South' tag. I agree with Greyhoundp that there could be a few Heathens fans turning up at the likes of Buxton Coventry and Stoke to cheer our former lads on. It could get a bit confusing at Monmore Wood when they come visiting. Some of us have never fully got to grips with cheering the red and blue helmet colours there and this will only make things even more confusing. Good luck to the Islanders. You've certainly done your sums! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunty Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just what the NL needs, teams that are strong all over the country and actually makes the racing and meetings better! Last year there were too many 60-30 odd victories for Heathens and Mildenhall.....Dont see that this year! Going to be special! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Good luck to the IOW Heathens for 2013, you have assembled a good team for 2013, put Byron in as your Captain, great with the supporters also, Tom Pom No1, lovely to see him miss the gate, cuz when he does, dont turn away for 1 moment, Daryll when he has his bikes right he can live with the best, added to Ben, Danny boy, Adam and Brendon, if you stay injury free, cant see any anyone beating you on The Island, and the management there have to be applauded for putting this Team together. Look forward to seeing you guys up here in the Midlands, what about an early season Challenge, with you guys ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 There's a " back the Brits" campaign on twitter to encourage young Brit riders. If I'm right ( although I could certainly be wrong) are 6 of the islands 7 British ? And with an average age of less than 20 can any other club beat them on that front ?
