There is a proposal to turn the infield at the Track at Wentworth Leisure Centre, Hexham (home of Tynedale Harriers) into an astroturf football facility. This would affect the long throws, and would mean that local competitions (NEYDL, senior league etc), as well as the International Combined Events meeting could not take place.
