False dawn 2,294 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Apologies if this has been done before, I'm a bit a bit in and out of the forum these days.... I'm regaining my passion for the sport (it was severely damaged by the temporary closure of Brandon). As a result, I've started to travel to more meetings but I want to take all of my family, including my boy, Lenny (greyhound cross). The hard bit is trying to determine which tracks will let Lenny in. Many team websites don't say one way or the other. So, can we assemble our own list for the benefit of dog owning fans please? I've started my list below and will edit this as this wonderful group post further information. Yes Berwick Coventry Eastbourne Edinburgh Leicester Ipswich Isle of Wight King's Lynn Peterborough Plymouth Poole Redcar Rye House Scunthorpe Somerset Stoke No Belle Vue Glasgow Newcastle Sheffield Sittingbourne (Kent) Swindon Wolverhampton Edited May 10, 2019 by False dawn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) If no-one replies about Eastbourne you'll probably be able to find out tomorrow. You used to be able to take them as we have been but that was many years ago when Coventry won 46-45. That result is stuck in my memory for some reason.......or was it 45-44. You can add Newcastle and Wolverhampton to the No list. Edited May 3, 2019 by Gemini 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My apologies to Eastbourne and the web master. After trying to find an email address to confirm the current policy, I found the following on their website: Dogs are very welcome at Arlington, but must be kept on a lead at all times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted May 3, 2019 It seems to be the stadiums that also run greyhounds are the ones that dont allow pet dogs in Perhaps is a health/vetinary type precaution(???) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's generally correct. A bit ironic really as the dog I want to take is 90% greyhound. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reliant Robin 492 Posted May 3, 2019 Swindon is a no 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone 943 Posted May 3, 2019 Believe it's ok @ armadale, & should still be, given greyhound racing has ceased there now. IIRC they're not allowed at Ashfield - a guy who used to take a couple of rare breed dogs a few years ago, apparently was barred for disputing this. No doubt a Tigs fan can clarify whether or not dogs are permitted. A friend used to have to keep his dog in the car when he went to Berwick, as they were banned because of an incident where a child was apparently bitten. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
