Backstraight Viewer Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Is there any update on any new riders for IOW have seen Jake Knighf is looking to make a comeback could this open up new riders availability if other teams reorganise to make room for him ?

SpeedwayPortal Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi backstright, no official news at the moment on any team changes on the Island, but I am sure all the promotions throughout the league are keeping an eye on all the movements from other teams.

Dickie Head Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Subject to approval, Connor Coles and Kelsey Dugard will replace Nathan Greaves and Rik Mullins according to the Island Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Subject to approval, Connor Coles and Kelsey Dugard will replace Nathan Greaves and Rik Mullins according to the Island Facebook.As I anticipated a month ago. Kelsey will be a big plus, with his new engine he is fast and did his fastest time so far beating Boxhall. Just overdid the pass in his 2nd outing and hit the fence. Would expect him to average at least 6 at IOW. Look after him, sad to see him go but we just had to have a true No 1 and this was the only possible way.

Moleman27 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 My only question if it does happen is what will happen about govier as it would push him to reserve so still have to use unnataced 3pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 My only question if it does happen is what will happen about govier as it would push him to reserve so still have to use unnataced 3pointers. They will but they won't have to use RR at 2 which has been the main problem so far. Only Widman and Reserves can take rides. Only losing marginally including Kelsey will take the pressure off Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'm happy with the signings, especially Kelsey back. Something had to be done and I can't blame the promotion for their efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 So the new averages are out on the SCB website and if you leave Govier out of the seven they've got nearly 7 points to find another rider. Could be even more punchy and leave out Sealey and have nearly 10 for two riders. Wonder what they're planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Seen IofW 3 times this year at Plymouth and each time they looked poor( Wilson, Cockle Greaves apart). Sealey really struggling at reserve. I know the 2 tracks are so different but if you do have the pts spare I would use them wisely to strengthen up.Plymouths change of Roynon for Smart has made them so much stronger.

Islander15 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Who's available though? And Coles' average is showing from 5 meetings, rather than 4, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I think its not solely down to who,s available, but who wants to ride there due to logistics, what is for sure is that the The Warriors need strengthening, i think thats apparent to everyone, after the last 2 meetings Im sure there averages are even lower. If they can strengthen up enough just to win home meetings that would be enough for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Very unfortunate. Would Cook & Hazeldon fit? Id imagine so and whilst not big name signings they would certainly both boost IOW's points tally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Harsh on Dugard! A good move for the club and Kelsey has spoken about quitting over the past week anyway so I'm assuming it's amicable. Plus he's still going to ride in the challenge and individual fixtures at Smallbrook this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Still harsh whatever way to look at it. Ur gona defend the club aint ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
