Isle Of Wight Pinball ??

[SeikoKid]

Anything to play in the land that time forgot ?

 

[Taxiturn]

But they need electricity

 

[Moonraker]

There used to be... @pinballmania or @new forest pinball might know more as to if there still is.

SWL have received visitors from the IOW on a Friday night before now.. !

Pinmap says no

 

[robotgreg]

Nothing I've seen when been over there from time to time.

 

[new forest pinball]

No nothing in public use that we know of. But still a few private collections on the island .

 

[cyberkryten]

When I was last there, two years, ago there was a Spiderman in the arcade at the Needles

 

[Jsyjamie]

I can't think of the Isle of Wight without this popping in my head

 

[SeikoKid]

I came, i went, i saw nutting

 

[2huwman]

Nothing that I've seen for public use recently. The last ones I knew of were in a little arcade in Shanklin that's since closed. Are there any other IOW members on here?

 

[colin7070]

I can answer that as I live here. I haven't found any yet... Not even in my front room. Prices have almost dropped to what I'm prepared to pay so might get one this year. I will check out the Needles next week and report back.

Definitely more nonces than pinballs on that small island

How do you know that?

 

[M4carp]

Common knowledge, you should know you live there.

 

[2huwman]

Sorry bud, not something I'm aware of. And may I say, a bit of a bizarre subject to bring into the conversation.

Sex offender prison, was a bizarre comparison for pinball numbers I know. Sad but true, thought you would be aware living there.

Oh, I understand now. You meant sex offenders in prison, who have mostly been imported from the UK mainland? You've got plenty of prisoners like that in Wales as well. Still not sure this is the right thread for that discussion.

 

[colin7070]

Maybe has friends here.

Or worse still, reads the Daily Mail.

No idea (maybe sheep offences) but the one on your island has had a lot of publicity about those types, it was just a bit of a joke basically saying you don’t have many pinballs on your lovely sunny isle.

I need to start posting more when drinking
