    I was always a big fan of Towcester and interesting it is offering itself as a Point-to-Point venue.

    It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"

    Almost local for me, only about half an hours drive, be nice to see it in use again.

    I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
    I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

    Just 20 minutes down the road for me – would be great if it comes off

    First started going when I was at university (Warwick), helped a friend of my Dad’s who had a bookie pitch on the inside a few times, great course to walk (rabbit Warren at the bottom of the hill) and great recollections from the old ITV7 days too.

    Would definitely be good to get it back.

    Only managed to get to Towcester once. It is not the easiest track to reach on public transport.

    It would be good to see this happen and then get the track back again, like Hereford.

    I believe the dog track is open again and hosting this year’s Greyhound Derby.
