greatest memories for me have got to be on the Sampson coaches to hackney hawks away trips, everybody was so relieved when the coach finally got to the away tracks as they were well known for breaking down either before they left hackney stadium or on route like we ended up at Watford gap services and no further on our way supposedly to Hyde road. just going back to 1980 I remember getting to belle vue at around 3pm glorious blue sky, sun out with hackney hawks think there was 2 Sampson coaches that made it that day lol, only to be told that the meeting was rained off(called off way to early) if memory serves me correctly belle vue had a weaken team out that night everybody was pretty peed just wondered if a few back handers were being dished out to get it called off

can anyone recall hackney hawks ever winning at Hyde road ?

I wonder if anyone can post the heat by heat details from the match at the shay, someone in another topic put the scorers which was great just need heat by heat details or where I can get them from many thanks

thanks guys nice one

im sure it was when hackney finshed runners up to cheque book reading racers, i think hackney got four 5-1s and a 3-3 in the last 5 races,think this is correct, can anybody remember this ? and has anybody got the scorers for that match thanks

i remember that awfull nite very well it was my 18 birthday, one of those birthdays you wanna forget, god we all miss our hackney hawks
