I cannot find the original article but the Hockey club has been through this all before and it sheds a light on the politics of the situation re the Airco, I cannot recall any massed protests about the pitches being lost then.

I'm not clear but did Duffen evict them from the pitches in 2009? Is the hockey club still at the arena? Genuine questions.
