After careful consideration, and with the support of our fans and sponsors shown so far, it has given the management of the Wightlink Warriors more confidence to announce their intention to stage a 7 meeting season of speedway between July and September taking place at Smallbrook Stadium.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The season plan is to stage 4 team speedway meetings to include the Vince Mapley Memorial, and the Steve Piper Memorial meetings, plus the popular Best Pairs as well as our British Championships to include Women, J.A.P, Upright and the 500cc. We will race on a Tuesday in 2025 allowing access to a greater number of riders as this is a quiet fixture night in the UK. In addition, we hope to stage the British GT140 providing we can find a date in their busy schedule.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With the good news of the decision to plan fixtures for the short season, there are still some hurdles to overcome.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Firstly, the club needs additional volunteers to enable us to man all the stations on race day. Please let us know If you think anyone would be interested to help. Some of these positions give you the best seat in the stadium to watch the action.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Secondly, whilst the offers of sponsorship have been really encouraging, we would still welcome a few more to enable us to fulfil the season\u2019s racing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finally, getting the message out and more people through the door, We plan to use leaflets and banners this season as these have produced the best results in previous years \u00a0so, if you know of an area to deliver, Campsites, Hotels etc who will allow advertising, and you can take or deliver them please get in touch. The club is looking for someone to enable us to make better use of Facebook and to help distribute the message across the many Community Facebook groups as Islanders are best placed to have the best insight.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wightlink Warriors promoter Martin Widman added, \u201cBarry and I had a fantastic meeting this afternoon where we both undertook to deliver a season of speedway on the Isle of Wight. We have already overcome some big challenges and we feel that with the backing of our sponsors, and fans along with agreements with riders, we can provide a great season. We are delighted that we are much closer than two weeks ago to securing the season for our Club, and we are so very grateful for all the offers of support. We hope that we have planned an attractive programme of speedway events to showcase Speedway on the Island and will now start talking to riders and clubs about the season.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The management would like to thank everyone in anticipation of their support both financial and physical, which will help us achieve a short but action packed programme.<\/div>\n
