Pro Athletes Seek Use of Maribyrnong Reserve for Foot Running
A Braybrook Council deputation from the Professional Athletes Association proposed leasing Maribyrnong Reserve to host professional foot running. They urged alterations to ban betting and planned four meetings this season with potential weekly events. The group, claiming 1500 athletes, would install suspension lighting and stress no interference with cricket or football. Kirton Speedway Co will not race there this year, clearing the way for alternative entertainment as rent owed by the speedway company remains.
