Reviresco Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 The Ferry and Taxi information is here mate, under Travel on the website.. http://www.wightwarriors.co/travel Great timing thanks, as I am planning on visiting the Island on 23rd to watch Danyon Hume and the rest of the best NL team put together (probably). Will be staying with friends in Swanage and just travelling over for the meeting and back again after the last heat. Any tips on the best method of doing this please, would be gratefully received. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Go foot passenger from Portsmouth Ryde pier. You ll then get a free taxi from pier to track, and then track back to boat afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the shorter inward (Swanage to Lymington) but I guess you are leaving yourself into possible problems on the return trip with the last ferry being 21:50 so better to do the extra distance to Portsmouth on the way there and have the better optio on the return. Thanks buddy, much appreciated. PS: looks like there may be two of the Ipswich Witches 2016 BSF Massif there for the Brummies match....

You could do Lymington to Yarmouth and then Fishborne to Portsmouth as an option. If you book that routing and the meting is on time you can head off to Yarmouth where they will normally let you on using the Portsmouth ticket. I haven't heard of anyone being refused boarding doing it this way. Hope that this has helped a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I've been to four meetings on the island this season. The latest one to finish was last weeks cradley match which ended at 21.05! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks TMW and City rebel. Much appreciated. As you say, I meant Yarmouth / Lymington. I like to try and have a trip to the pits after a meeting and have a chat with a couple of the riders, particularly Danyon - usually to check whether he hurt himself after falling in at least one heat (sorry Danyon). So have decided to meet my mate from Swanage in Portsmouth and go that route. Just cuts down any chances of not making it back to the mainland a bit, and if there is any bad luck going it ends up in macca56's direction, lol. Thanks again. Really appreciated by me.

A lot of the riders are generally on the 23.00 Ferry from Fishbourne and tend to go up to the Bar after the meeting. It does round the evening off nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I see a change at reserve tonight for IOW with Nathan Stoneman & Layne Cupitt? Are Govier & Piper on the injured list along with Phillips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Tyler Govier suffered concussion last week against Cradley so has to be stood down for the mandatory number of days, as for Piper Iv no idea.

Sings4Speedway Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Stoneman is a permanent signing. Good signing at that looking at the score charts but with a wrecked bike already i hope the pockets are deep enough for the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosTheory22 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Aug 23rd should be a good one NL elect Champions Birmingham Brummies Yes this should be a good meeting with two ex Under 15's champions lining up against one another. However I feel Eastbourne & the other NL play off teams may prevent Brummies becoming back to back champions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Have just booked Foot Ferry tickets from Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde on the 17:15 crossing tomorrow which hopefully will get us to the stadium in time for the Pits to be open still. Weather looks set fair. Hopefully the stadium will see a large if not record crowd for the visit of the best NL team this season in the Brummies. Looking forward to it and would imagine I will enjoy my visit to the Island far more than my visit to The Abbey tonight. (Hoping to do Redcar v Ipswich on Thursday too, but the forecast does not bode well for that one.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Apologies for asking so many questions, but could someone who knows tell me where I park my car at Portsmouth Harbour to catch the foot ferry to Ryde and how much it costs? Also, could someone let me know how frequent the "taxis" are from Ryde to the Stadium? Many Thanks Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
