Lancaster Park
Sir, —The Canterbury Football Association will apply for the use of Lancaster Park for the Austrian team’s visit. Is this a professional combination, as it is reported to require a guarantee of £5500 and *o contain 12 professions? Good luck to them, but last year the then chairman of the Victory Park Board said al the jubilee function at Lancaster Park that the park was saved for amateur sport, not professionalism. Were representatives of Association football, hockey, and Rugby League invited to the jubilee? My guess is that no invitation was extended to the Rugby League people. Rugby League was not mentioned by the chairman (as reported, at all events) among the sports listed by him as having been played on the park.—Yours. VICTORY PARK. April 26, 1957. [The chairman of the Victory Park board (Mr J. C. Harbut) had no comment to make on this letter.]
