Petition For A New Speedway Stadium In Essex

[Cliv Clav 60]

Admins: any chance this could be pinned just so everyone sees this?  I will post this in each of the 3 leagues as we desperately need help from all speedway fans.  If you think this is inappropriate please delete it, but this could be our best chance to be successful and we want to strike whilst the iron is hot.

Could I please ask all speedway fans to take 10 seconds to sign the petition to help get a new venue for the sport in the Thurrock area of Essex?

Here is the link: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-the-return-of-lakeside-hammers-speedway

The council meet shortly to discuss regeneration plans and how to spend monies from the compulsory purchase of the Arena Essex site and they are actually listening to the Hammers case as we have good grounds for some compensation after being left without a home.  We currently have over 2500 signatures but we really need as many as possible.

Only one signature per email address.  You will receive an email saying thanks for signing, but nothing else.

Please, please, please help our fight.  We have meetings with the council and developers and the petition really does help our cause.  The SGB website and the Speedway Star have not included stories about this, so we have had no help there.  I know speedway fans love their sport and want as many clubs open as possible, so please sign or if you have already, thank you.

For more info on our campaign please visit http://www.lakesidehammers.co/we-are-thurrocks-hammers/

Thanks everyone.  Peace!

Thank you so much!  Every voice helps and with lots of development in the area over the next 20 years, we may get a chance to return and keep the biggest sports team in the region.  Fingers crossed.

Thanks so much, it really does mean a lot to us Hammers fans to have the support of other clubs fans too.  A quick signature on that petition can make all the difference in the long run.  Thanks again

A quick update:

Thurrock Council have acknowledged our petition and have asked the Hammers to present the details of it and the campaign to get the team a new home in the area to the Thurrock Council's main cabinet in January or February.  This will place both the club and the campaign on the council’s agenda such that it is recorded officially in Council minutes and ensure that the club gets an official response.

So please get all speedway fans you know to keep signing the petition as it really is going to help us.  We need riders, promoters and clubs to post/tweet links to the petition and the Speedway Star to actually put something in print as it is yet to appear in the magazine.

Thank you all for signing so far, I wish I could give you all a hug or buy you a beer, whichever is most appropriate lol.  Thanks for trying to save our team
