Do anyone remember Alan Sage who rode for many clubs i was at Arena Essex in 1985 at Alans testimonial meeting and after the meeting they actioned off various items of the riders that day and i bid and won Alans race jacket which i have framed and has pride of place on my wall something i will always treasure as an older speedway fan my wife and i started watching Rayleigh Rockets when we were tenagers then over the years we supported West Ham,Romford Bombers,and Arena Essex who become the Lakeside Hammers and now sadly have moved to rye house as the Arena track has been closed down for yet more housing in the Thurrock area nobody cares about sport these days the councils just want more and more housing for those from over seas very sad.
