Re: Great leighs?? Last i heard is that they didnt put in for another temporary licence which they could have done to keep racing going for the meantime. Made several 'key' positions redundant so it looks like they are in a right mess and maybe a long while before it starts again. If ever there was a model of 'how not to open a new racecourse' then this is it and it might be useful to someone in the future. Ffos Las is opening in June, lets hope they have better luck or planning! http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2009/01/25/what-does-wales-new-racecourse-have-to-offer-and-are-the-plans-on-track-91466-22770717/ Like you say Chris, its a shame as the racing was half decent (for AW) and the cards seem to be sponsored fairly well in the main.
