Isle Of Wight Wightlink Warriors 2016


Recommended Posts

I've just seen your leaflets for posting in neighbours doors and have to say that's a good idea. However would it be an idea to discount tickets or a ticket for people who show this at the turnstiles so they get in a bit cheaper if they are just giving it a try. Might encourage more people because us Brits love a good deal!

Is it going to be a full strength IOW side at Somerset on Friday night for the challenge against Weymouth?

Near enough.

 

Warriors: 1. Wajtknecht (G), 2. Dugard, 3. Smart, 4. Baseby, 5. Cockle, 6. Saul & 7. Govier.

Exeter: 1. Ayres, 2. Bates, 3. TBC 4. Chessell 5. Shuttleworth, 6. Atkins7. Phillips. The 7th was originally Bacon but obviously won't be now. Shuttleworth replaces Wilson-Dean as Exeter were told they can't use a PL rider.

Hi guys, it's been an awesome couple of weeks over on the Island on race nights. Attendances are on the up each week, and it's great to see more and more travelling supporters not only from the away teams, but also others living far afield becoming regulars. The track is becoming more consistent and the racing has been superb especially the last 2 meetings. The last 2 matches were both won by the Warriors in a last heat decider. We even had some attendants arrive in their private Helicopter, landed in the next field to come and watch the meeting. Now that is what I call a Drone to watch heat 15 in!!!

 

This week also saw a film company called Procamfilms come along, watch out people I predict some awesome footage coming soon from them!

 

Don't forget all home meetings are covered by SpeedwayPortal.com, and are available to buy on DVD from either the track shop or on the Warriors Media channel. £7 each.

 

Last night at Somerset the meeting was abandoned before the re-run of heat 4 due to rain, which means all the boys from both teams have bikes to clean today! :(

 

If you do get a chance, do come over to the Island, there's an awesome buzz about the place and everyone is very approachable for a chat.

Having been 3 times so far this season, I'd echo those comments. It was dusty the first week but the racing was still good and that continued (without the dust) for two very entertaining meetings against Mildenhall & Belle Vue.

 

Its brilliant to hear that attendances are increasing - that was clearly the case against Belle Vue when I got blocked in in the car park - and nothing less than Barry Bishop and Martin Widman deserve. Believe me, they have tried so hard to produce a good night out and attract the numbers they need to ensure that speedway continues on the Island and their PR is absolutely first class :approve:

 

There are a few other promotions up and down the country who could learn a lesson or two from Isle of Wight about how to treat paying customers.

 

As Andy says, give them a go. As there are discounted prices on the Cat and the car ferry for speedway fans, why not make a day of it ?

Updated Met Office hour-by-hour forecast for today suggests no rain until at least 8pm when there's possibly a chance of a shower so let's go racing and look forward to the Wight Warriors league match versus Mildenhall. See you there?

Lets hope this goes ahead as IOW have had rotten luck with the weather so far and its a blinking long way to go for a rain off.....
