I've just seen the LET site and they are reporting the outline plans of a business consortium to build one of 4 worldwide super racecourses on the Altham/Simonstone border. Well, I know we've had all sorts of conmen and pie-in-the-sky schemes over the years, but I think this one actually makes sense, on the basis that a) East Lancs is about the only centre of high population in the country without a racetrack and b) there is an even larger market within the North-West/ Yorkshire.

I'm impressed by the idea. It certainly blows the Panopticon off the hill. Mind you,the traffic jams on race days should be just as much fun.
