Agreed.

I agree with what bella said about Mondello. Pembrey does better financially out of F3 testing than it would from a single meeting there. I don't think Anglesey cuts the mustard, frankly.

As long as SRO really does listen to the teams it should work out, but they need to come out with a calendar a bit earlier than sometime in January.
