Wightlink Warriors
Over the years Isle of Wight Speedway has put together a
history of which it has every right to be proud with their most
recent success coming in the National League Trophy which they
won in 2013.
They have also enjoyed success in the Young Shield which
they have picked up on two occasions in 1998 and 2001 and the
Pairs which they have been crowned Champion of twice also, most
recently in 2007. Everyone currently involved with the Warriors
will be keen to add to these successes over the coming years.
The sport was successfully re-launched in 2016 on the island
and the team now competes in the National League between the
months of April and September. So far this season it would be fair
to say that they have not perhaps enjoyed the campaign that they
would have liked, having compiled a record of three wins and ten
defeats from their thirteen meetings. This sees them lying near the
bottom of the table.
They will be keen to pick up some more wins over their
remaining meets and are confident that they can pick up some
positive results. As long as they are able to do so they should be in
with a good chance of climbing away from the bottom sides.
Away from the racing itself, Wightlink Warriors is able to
boast some fantastic facilities with their Premier Lounge Bar which
serves soft and alcoholic drinks as well as hot food. They also
have a Burger Bar and Club Track Shop as well as a 440 seater
Grandstand.
Having high quality facilities is vital for the club, firstly because
it helps to improve the experience of any supporters visiting the
meets. This will encourage more people to support the team and
helps to cement them as a vital part of the local community.
Another major benefit of the superb facilities is that they have
the potential to provide Wightlink Warriors with a valuable source
of additional revenue. This is particularly important in the current
financial climate and will be vital in ensuring the long term future
and prosperity of the team.
Although Wightlink Warriors would have liked to have picked
up a few more wins than they currently have, this should not take
away from the good work that they have been doing lately. The
people working behind the scenes to make this possible deserve
tremendous credit.
If they are able to continue in the same manner then they should
be able to look forward to a bright and successful future for many
years to come. Everyone at Sport in Profile Magazine would like to
take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck.
