    Sydney Morning Herald:

    Sell of 2 sports assets to fund another sports dreams to build. At least in the 2nd article they suggest the building of a race track "precinct" at eastern creek.

    They can't SELL Fairfield. It's owned by the local Council.

    Same with Penrith I think Lee, "shouldn't always believe what we read in the papers" was a gem of advise from my grandfather... he passed about 45 years ago, but he gave me a few gems that have never left me. thankfully.

    The first article talks about crown land. About ways developers can get around this, which would require then buying out leases etc.

    I've got a little gem as well, Money Talks, Bull.... Walks. The developers have untapped amounts of money and as we've seen in the past, If the price is right, The laws will be changed to suit them. Would love to see another nice track and hopefully not 1400m and Eastern Creek would be a perfect location for a lot more participants, Pretty sure that the trainers from up Newcastle way and out West would appreciate it as 2 Motorways go right by Eastern Creek.

    Reckon if they built another really big track like Menangle Rich, that would be a negative move. Don't get me wrong I like the track at Campbelltown. but it doesnt suit all horses and it's racing distance options are limited due also to it's circumference.

    i reckon they should sell off bankstown and fairfield along with wenty park, leave penrith as a stand alone and build a super 1/2 mile track at eastern creek to accommodate harness and greyhound racing.
