Riders rent reduction a 'contractual matter', no legal threat: Reynolds

The $1.33M rent reduction comes from what the club owed during seasons impacted by the pandemic.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) is calling on Craven Country Thunder to banish comic duo Williams and Ree.
The duo has MCed events for over 20 years at the festival.
This comes after the duo made a statement on stage this weekend, referring to Indigenous people in a derogatory way.
In a press release, the FSIN called the comment, “an embarrassment to Country Thunder, the entertainers and First Nations people.”
Terry Ree, one half of the duo, is Indigenous.
They were also under criticism last year during a Humboldt Broncos tribute performance, and had to cancel their show at Casino Regina in May 2018.
Bruce Williams and Terry Ree responded with “no comment” to the call by FSIN.
