Speeway has been sorely missed this year in the borough.

I have been a supporter of the West Ham then Lakeside Hammers since I worked at the old stadium in Custom House. Many memories.

I have been a follower of speedway for over 50 years. I used to support the Wimbledon Dons but unfortunately slowly saw the decline of speedway in London as the developers moved in and demolished the stadiums. I remember the heydays of Wimbledon Dons, West Ham Hammers and Hackney Hawks as well as the Wembley Lions. All we have left in the great city of London are the Lakeside Hammers. It would be a tragedy if we lose all speedway sport from the London catchment area. It is a wonderful family sport with exciting racing and always has a friendly atmosphere. Please save speedway sport in our area

My then girlfriend (now wife) never missed a meeting even following them to West Ham when Romford closed. Very happy days.

As former referee I have great memories of Arena Essex/Lakeside -- terrific and exciting racing (especially when there was (originally) no safety fence! Although redevelopment has been rumoured for years I always understood that there was a Covenant on the land ensuring that it is designated as sporting'entertainment land. Is this just money talking?

We love going to watch speedway at the hammers. It is also the closest one to us here in Southend. It needs to stay open

Developers should also be thinking of recreation for the people there cramming in to the locality.

Finding it difficult to find live speedway.We need a London team. Having to travel to Eastbourne or Peterborough to get my fix. Give the Hammers a home.
