I would say no Kevin. They don't need the money and in my opinion one of the best innovative greyhound clubs in Australia getting people to events and race meets.

The Members Own Sandown..IB

Sandown has it's issue's
The main problem is the inside drainage cannot be drained as well as The Meadows because of the Old track and road is still under the sand .
With Traralgon going ahead and Cranbourne now under pressure of closing i think it would be very viable to purchase land so we could have a Duel race track like Murray Bridge racing 5 times a week ..

I think we must look at consolidating Tracks and we should be racing 4 times a week not once or twice a week its not visible to have a top heavy infrastructure IMO....Look at Geelong what a waste of money sitting there rusting away ...Horsham the same thing it is a waste of Money to Build more tracks in Victoria we don't need them IMO

PG
You would be stupid to give up the Cash Cow it must be the biggest Pokie Joint in Victoria ...
Sell off land around it buy land at Cranbourne retain both Trio's and Sandown Cash Cow ....
How many millions has the Cash Cow made over the years for the Meadows and Sandown clubs ...
