werbie Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 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.

Vincent Vega Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Werbie the History of Hackney video which can be purchased from Re-Run videos should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Thumb Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 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. It wasn't rundown TT, it had character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Dear Kevin Waterden road stadium had become extremely run-down and tatty, but - then it was a speedway stadium after all. Has anyone been to a good speedway stadium recently. (no, not the millenium stadium) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
