Growing up in East London in the late eighties & early nineties, Lakeside / Arena Essex was our nearest track & I have many good memories of watching the racing every week.
Having relocated to the midlands, we have recently lost our local speedway track at Coventry & its very sad to see the demise of Lakeside as a venue.
Although I fully understand the commercial realities of developers & the pressure for housing, it can't always be at the expense of local sport & leisure facilities. Its vital that councils force developers to contribute towards the costs of an alternative venue, as part of the planning process.
I would also like to thank Stuart Douglas for his continued efforts at Lakeside over the past decade & hope to see the club returning in the near future.

There have been dozens of tracks in the London area now there are none. A new purpose built stadium has a captive audience of thousands and will bring great kudos to the area.

It is shocking to see another speedway facility in the Greater London area lost. The council has a duty to provide a replacement facility for social good.

Having lost our own track (Coventry) for now, I would love to see a track back in Thurrock.

I have supported speedway since moving to Dartford in 1970 and we need this kind of entertainment in this area.
