Track league 10000 metres

I see that at the AGM of the Senior Men's Track League that there will be a 10000 metres race in the third meeting instead of the 5000m. About time too - there should be both! In 1986 I asked the League to intriduce the 10000 metres (the only international standard event not in the programme - and they agreeed to have ot on two meetings each year. It was held at 12 noon so that it did not add time to the programme - the first track event is normally at 1:00 pm. And it was a great success until it was dropped for reasons unspecified in the early 21st century. Guys like John Hanratty, Bobby Young, Hugh Watson, Willie Goldie, Bobby Rosborough, Phil Dolan and others all ran it for the club - and all gained a lot of points! Welcome back!
