Calling All Hackney Hawks Fans!

Recommended Posts

I was a hawks fan from 1973 to 1982 and wasn't able to go from then. I was wondering if anyone had video footage of the old stadium and races to be held in it from then? If so please reply back to this thread. Will reply to anyone with this. Many thanks. B)

i bought that video the other week, not a lot of the Hawks period that you want, most of the video action is about the Kestrals. Not one of the better videos, although the walkabout of the old stadium bought back lots of memories, but did show how rundown the old place had become by the end.

 

Must say the presenter was a bit dodgy. :wink:

I've got the meeting Andy mentioned on VHS, also a couple of Cradley meetings at Waterdon Road one a cup meeting from 83. Also have a Hackney v Reading match from the very early 80's, maybe 1980 I'll have to check.

I must admit I enjoyed the racing at Hackney, the track suffered plenty of bad press over the years, but the racing was quite good whenever I went there.

The Days Gone By tapes have plenty of Hackney Hawks cine footage from 60's and 70's

also I'd love to see this old stuff too.
