waco Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Waco - couldn't agree more with you on every post you made on this thread. At least you and I attend these meetings which is more than can be said for some of the posters on here Thanks dragons den..As you say we attend all these meetings..And only have the interests of the team members at heart ,,..Obviously the training days are going well with George and Linda, And a team place for a top trainie in the meeting will of course result in a good turnout for that afternoons training ,, which in turn will help finance the evening meeting.. But i stand by my former posting and whatever anyone says it will lower the standard of the League Match..Better they race against one another in front of the public in some extra races,.With maybe a couple of the lowest scorers included from the match to assess their progress..

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Parsloes 1928 nearly is 100% correct. Both teams are giving opportunities to up and coming talent. Obviously Waco would prefer same old every week with the no new talent. Everybody is always shouting about opportunities for English riders, yet here one exists and some people dont want it. Shame on you people who cry about no chances for new talent yet heres one, but it`s watered down. How the hell are they supposed to get a chance if iut isnt for fixtures like this. Hopefully the new riders on show will make a mockery of all the negativity posted. Even if they dont time is on their side. Good luck to those who ride. I agree 100% - and I see that another NL side are doing likewise: linking a training session with a place in their NL team for one of these late season matches! http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.13454.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) From Official Press Release issued today: FORMER HAWKS RETURN FOR FINALE A trip down memory lane awaits Speedway fans at the Arena Essex Raceway tomorrow evening, Friday 7th October, as a host of former Hackney stars will be at the track to see off the final meeting for the Hackney Hawks. Already confirmed as attending the meeting are: Paul Bosley, Laurie Etheridge, Alan Jackson, Les (Red) Ott, Alan Sage and Barry Thomas. The match, between the Hackney Hawks and the Scunthorpe Saints, will be the final National League match for the Hawks. The SCB appointed Referee for this match is Chris Gay, who, by coincidence, refereed the last meeting to take place at Hackney’s Waterden Road Stadium, which took place on 30th October 1996 and was between the London Lions and Oxford. Tomorrow is also an important night to for Lakeside Hammers fans as the Club’s Management will be monitoring interest in this National League match with a view to entering a full Young Hammers side into next year’s National League. With that in mind entrance fees have been slashed to just £8 with Children aged 6 to 16 inclusive paying only £1. Children under the age of 6 will be admitted free of charge provided they are accompanied by a paying adult. This final National League match of the season for the Hackney Hawks will get underway at the Arena-Essex Raceway tomorrow evening with the first race at 8pm with the Grand Parade of the participating riders and former Hackney stars at 7.45pm. Tickets for Friday’s match may be purchased on the night from the paybooths or in advance via the Lakeside Hammers website at www.lakesidehammers.co ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Alan Johns, who's at most matches at the venue, will be talking even more than usual - IF that is possible!

And I know for a fact that they have the phone no's of far better riders than these pair , Scunthorpe have shown there contempt for the paying public, and a total could not care less attitude to the standards of the national league . Good Luck to both of them if they both have the best of possible meetings they might even finish a race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully you'll be on here tomorrow night , apologising after they have made fools of themselves and scunthorpe /sheffield . this is exactly the reason no british kids make the grade , they get frustrtated at being top of their game and then getting overlooked in favour of no hopers like the pair . I've seen both of them recently and the only thing they will make a mockery of is what you have posted . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyguy Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Hmm, never mind 'awks, expect to see, with that line up, a considerable contingent of Crayford folk present tomorrow night!!! Considerable? Ten old supporters if your lucky. Why would anyone want to go frm the Kent area to watch this match! It's not really Hackney - just a nomadic side using the area name. Good to see some of the "Hackney" team will be in the new-look(!!) Rye House NL squad next season. And te buzz is, and I/m sure it's been heard, that Lakeside plan a NL team for 2012. The Hackney/Lakeside press release for the match Friday night says "Tomorrow is also an important night to for Lakeside Hammers fans as the Club’s Management will be monitoring interest in this National League match with a view to entering a full Young Hammers side into next year’s National League. " That's yet another gem on the LONDON SPEEDWAYS discussion group, the link to which is in my signature below.

It's not really Hackney - just a nomadic side using the area name. Hmm, taken you all year to finally join in the 'argument' me old mate!! You're wrong about the Crayford fans, I know personally of at least 20 who are going tonight! You're not ALWAYS right, speedy!! Your geography's not great either, as the Crayford 'heartland' area is extremely close (and, er, always has been! ) to Arena Essex... Ask Bryn!! And the reason to go...?: well obviously the news about the 'reunion' of former riders, a large number of which as I said are arguably more Crayford than Hackney is obviously one. And also that with the Hackney 'experiment' at at end, it is possible this will indeed be the last time a Hackney Hawks team takes to the track. Or if you'd prefer me to put it, a team calling itself Hackney Hawks. I remain bullish that we could get a new Speedway track within the Eton Manor area of the Olympic Park but I certainly (and this is my personal opinion) would not envisage branding such a team as Hackney..

crazysue Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the updates site? If so, could you please either leave a message here or send me an email or pm. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 1pm WEATHER CHECK: Been dry all morning here just across the other side of the River Thames from the circuit and forecasts indicate that it will remain so both here and at the circuit. Hope to see you there but would advise to bring a sweater as might turn a bit nippy this evening. Further update later this afternoon from the track but NO weather problems anticipated.

Bryn Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.45pm WEATHER UPDATE: Am at the circuit, bit of cloud about but also patches of blue sky and sun is shining. I'm in the speedway office but can hear bikes still being skidded around circuit at today's Training school and whilst I can't confirm, have been told that a current speedway promoter, whose identity I'll NOT be revealing before you ask, is amongst the trainees here today. One would have thought that it might be interesting if he emerges victorious in the 'Vultures Race' to be held that will see the winner fill a blank space in the Hackney line up!
