With the start of the 2010 season fast approaching, there's great news this week for both existing fans and potential fans of the Wightlink Islanders speedway team and those visiting the island too and wanting to attend an exciting night of all-action at the Wave105 Stadium during their stay.
We are all well aware of the current global economic depression we are in the midst of and so, following a meeting of the club's directors on Monday evening at the stadium, it was decided that meeting admission prices for the 2010 season will now remain the same as they were last year!
Those prices are: Adults £10; Children (aged 10 to 15 inclusive) £5 and children under 10 years of age (accompanied by a paying adult) admitted absolutely free and the price of the matchday programme will also remain at £2.
A club spokesman said, "we gave the matter a lot of thought and came to the conclusion that it was the least we could do, especially for our loyal supporters whose backing we value immensely.
"Hopefully at the same time it will encourage more folk to join them on a regular basis on Tuesday nights, and some Thursdays, in the season ahead for what really is a cracking night's action providing real value for money.
"This club of ours is unique in many ways as it is owned by the fans and run by the fans for the fans and we are determined that despite the recession and recent tough times we will battle through and go from strength to strength not only this year but in the years ahead as well."
THE AMERICANS ARE COMING TO OUR ISLAND...
Another exciting speedway season at the Wave105 Stadium is fast approaching and will get underway oon Easter Monday, April 5th with the action set to get underway at 7.30pm.
The club are staging their opening night of the season on that occasion rather that their normal Tuesday racenight in order to accommodate a visit from the exciting and colourful-looking "American Dream Team" who are heading over to these shores from California for a short early-season tour of the UK.
So not long now to wait for competitive speedway action to return here on the Isle of Wight but for those who can't wait that long, well those folk are reminded that they are more than welcome to come along to watch the March Tuesday evening practice sessions absolutely free of charge.
They take place on the coming two Tuesday evenings following this week's successful first session with circa twenty riders in attendance.
