Support the return of Thurrock Hammers Speedway to Thurrock

My whole family, young and old, loved speedway at Arena Essex. A great family night out which we all miss so much. Please bring our speedway back!

Keep this open please

Would welcome the re emergence of the hammers.

A difficult track to get to especially on a Friday night from Shooters Hill London , but what a fabulous sport to witness. Happy Hammers need their home back.

Dear Councillors, I am Essex born and bred and have lived here all of my life. I am now 68 years old. My classmate and best friend at now closed Ongar Comprehensive School introduced me to Speedway at Rayleigh Weir aged 13 way back in 1969. I have followed this great family sport as man and boy ever since, as have all my friends and family too, both here and abroad. i was at opening night in 1984 at Arena Essex stadium and have followed the team ever since becoming a sponsor of the club from 2004 to 2016. It is an exciting sport for all the family and a great part of community in Thurrock and indeed up and down the land. The community needs the return of their stadium and club as soon as possible as does the sport itself crying out for the club to return for the fans in Essex and surrounding areas. Please do all you can to return Speedway to the area without delay. Thank you. David Patient

I live in north Kent & speedway is my heart, supported all my local teams since i was 16 years old, i'm now 72. Sadly they have all closed, my last hope of a local team would be the re-opening of Thurrock raceway. PLEASE.

Needs to come back will be the only speedway in the Essex and London area

Keep on keeping on with the good work to save our speedway!

Fantastic if we could get the Hammers into any of the Speedway Leagues. Good luck

This great family sport, with the emphasis on family which I am so proud of is a form of sport and entertainment enjoyed by thousands and is as such a massive community asset both socially and economically

Lakeside Hammers need their track back in Thurrock. Visited the track for many years supporting my speedway team. Season ticket holder too. Was so upset when it closed.

British Speedway needs Arena Essex hopefully it will happen soon

It's important that the speedway team returns ASAP it a wonderful leisure facility for the people of Essex and beyond

Enjoyed all my visits to watch Lakeside Hammers and spent money in the local area as well as at the track.

We need speedway in this part of the country. Always was a great track, venue and friendly place to watch our sport.

Speedway is an exciting and truly family friendly sport that attracts visitors from all over the country bringing publicity, trade and spending to the local teams area.

Bring back Lakeside

Speedway must be returned to Thurrock and included in any future site proposals.

The future must be Arena Essex Speedway we need it back and competing again.
