Especially when Coventry visited ;)

From memory Bees won with a team that included a certain S.Bowes.

They did indeed , and the rider who held the track record when we left Shawfield - Brian Andersen

Just a question, do many Lakeside fans travel to Rye House? also would enough travel to make it more viable than it was for Rye House? (I know that's 2 questions) lol.

On both occasions that the Hammers have run out of Rye, I have seen very few people sporting anything related to Rockets.  It's been mainly Hammers and Panthers fans in attendance.

Whilst we are still trying to get back to Essex, we should remain the Lakeside Hammers.  Most Essex fans will not travel further to support a Rye team or a team that isn't the Hammers.  Especially at a track that doesn't provide good racing. Also, Lakeside isn't that geographically specific like a city name would be.  

If the team can find a new home in Essex, the team should be called the Essex Hammers to get the entire county behind the team and increase the catchment area.
