Lakeside 2017

Lakeside Hammers Press Release::

:::::::::::

LAKESIDE Hammers will not compete in the 2017 top flight as negotiations for an extension to the club's rental arrangement with the Arena Essex Raceway are still ongoing.

Consequently, the club cannot confirm its place in the League at the BSPA AGM as required by the sports rules and regulations.

Co-promoter, Jon Cook, said: "This doesn't mean the end of racing by any means as our talks are cordial and in line with every year's timescale.

“However, this year's early AGM and the need for us to look at more weekend dates to avoid the calamitous weekday tunnel toll and A13 road chaos that adversely affected a third of this year's fixtures means we need the right agreement for all parties.

"We understand this news will come as a huge shock to fans but our long term need for our own home, and our will to achieve that goal remain as strong as ever.

“Once we have details in place we will hold a public meeting to update fans as to our intentions for 2017 and beyond."

 

The SHOCK news so far of the close season? :sad:

So long as Lakeside continue to run, be it outside the top tier I don't see it as sad news at all, quite the opposite in fact.

Running at a lower level would make far more sense in tying up the training school and progression to league speedway.

 

I would love a return to local derbies with Rye and Ipswich, I would miss AJ but wouldn't miss some of the other "stars" who are only interesting in racing when it suits them.

I watch non league football, and there is nothing wrong with the grass roots stuff, it's the same with speedway.

Anyone who has a pop at our predicament as at least one individual already has is a complete lowlife toss stain.

 

Happy to have it out in person as well should they wish.

 

Bad news for the club and fans but this may not spell the end.

 

Perhaps a good time to press the 'reset' button anyway.

 

I can understand your anger but don't make threats to people it makes you look no better than they are.
