coventry1963 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Strange to reply to your topic but just seen the statement from the supporters group that they have not had sufficient time to get everything ready for 2015. Statement further suggests that they will continue work with the intention of being ready for 2016. Have had many a good evening at small brook when on holiday. Really good, fast, challenging wide open track with very interesting banking on bend four creating several racing lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 It was said that a group of supporters were trying to get the Islanders up and running for 2015. Anybody heard any more yet? unfortunately the iow needs the ferries to sponsor the club to make it viable and up till the AGM neither wightlink or red funnel had come forward with an offer and as the iow had to declare to run at the AGM it was decided to focus on getting the team back for 2016 ,the group couldnt afford the cost of transporting 20 vans per meeting as well as the other costs involved in getting the club back, it is hoped that a ferry deal can be done in the near future and then the club will be back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that their return materialises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
