Council should tell Arena to take a running jump and start negotiations with a new group now to get racing there sorted out asap. Surely, they have a get out clause in the contract too, and not just Arena who can say we don’t want to play anymore.
Arena don’t want to know so give it back to someone who does and insist that the meetings for Hereford are given back as well. Then they can race in 2013 while sorting out new/revived races for 2014 on.
