If I had surplus land and a shortfall I'd be looking to rationalise my assets, serve reasonable notice using any potential break clauses in the leasing arrangements and sell the land to the highest bidder ( probably a supermarket chain...). So disapointing as it is - with 2 years to run on the lease, the landowners might seem to have some reasonable grounds for calling it a day and advising speedway that they should be grateful for what they've had.

Sad to say I think we all know the answers........pure commercial reality. Like the County Ground in Exeter it might be possible to limp on for the odd year or two but ....
And the most pleasure I could take from this would be if I was totally wrong..........
