Ubique Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 From BBC Sports . Hereford racecourse - controversially closed down by owners Arena Racing Company in December 2012 - is to reopen for business in October. Up to four fixtures are to be staged with more in 2017. Hereford was shut in 2012 after 241 years of racing - the first recorded meeting there was in August 1771. However, ARC said at the time the venue was no longer viable, citing the recession and the rise of internet betting on other sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Lloyd Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That is really good news lets hope it happens. I am no racing fan but at least it was something Hereford was known for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 And a cycle track is in talks too. I actually agree with that. Not a velodrome which needs money to participate in as a competitor. But more mainstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.Wilson Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 A cycle track sounds good but a velodrome would of attracted more people to Hereford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megilleland Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Here is the link to the original discussion about a Velodrome in Hereford. I think a Velodrome would be a great opportunity and would highlight Hereford as a cycling centre. Without it the cycle track would become just another dog walking area.
