Buy big from nz do a job then on sell is what you’ve tried except you haven’t bought anything worth on selling

However if it does come to this I hope the decision makers at least put a racing plan forward to the industry instead of just swinging the axe.
Does the industry get the same amount of meetings, will there be extra stake money due to the decrease in expenses and meetings etc etc.
I am not for closing down to three tracks in any way but it has now become the only out.
My beef and has been all along is
A) Who has been steering the vehicle that has got the industry into this position ?
B) Has this been the plan all along, because I certainly thought so.
I don’t think we need to close the clubs, just the tracks the clubs are more than welcome to continue on at the premiere tracks like York has done
Then don’t do it but at least they have the option
situation in my view and I’m born & bred in the City.
Love to know where Jrs , S.Mc’s , Chopper , Mickey G , Curley , A.C, L.B,K.P, Snr ,Browny,A.D,J.P basically all the States reinsman today & yesteryear all had their first drive?
You got to start in the Minor league before you get to the Big League .
No Minor tracks will equate to a small pool of Drivers and how will you replenish your
Driving Ranks when you will have basically 12 Elite Drivers primarily of the male Gender.
You in time have alienated the female participants and punters.
Unfortunately Harness Racing is a Business and it does have to pay its way but Country tracks do
need to be more financially efficient & productive . Realistically full time racing at Williams not possible as is evident .
Why can’t Northam have a duel meeting with the Greyhounds surely a more efficient usage of resources for both codes on that track?
Surely after harvest these tracks can promote their local Cups a 4 week Country Cups Round Locals will have free time to attend try and tie it in with the Local Country Shows May not be possible but
merely a suggestion

Collie and Busselton may survive off Bunbury region but what would be the point of two SS tracks getting a few meetings a year.
As I said if they proceed down this course get it right up front otherwise they will continue to go round in circles.

Feel free to enlighten me on what you’ve tried to do then? Spent good money on horses for Collie and Busselton so you could beat up on the weak fields?

That’s just a standard quote from either people who have tried and failed or people who are currently trying but failing! I see it the other way. Don’t try drag the industry too its knees so you can compete! Either get better, get out or shut up and accept that more often than not you’re gonna find someone who does it better than you! Harness racing’s biggest downfall is lack of professionalism. It’s people with your mentality and the ones who want to make races weaker that are, have and always will hold it down to this level. There are endless views from the so called ‘little guys’ on how they can make the game more fair or even. It’s absolute bullshit. I’d love to see you guys in charge of a industry like the AFL for example. You’d make the grounds smaller so the slower guys could keep up and widen the goal post so even I could compete with the likes of Tom Hawkins!
Just a bunch of whinging old men!
Actually that should be the thread name...
