I asked a genuine question and a couple have had the decency to explain why. If not being a fan of dogs and failing to understand why so many fawn over the creatures makes me a twit then fair enough. As someone with obvious cerebral capacity perhaps you can enlighten me further as to what I'm missing out on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 6, 2019 I've never had a problem with dogs at speedway. Met quite a few over the years and without exception they were well behaved, friendly when approached and the owners had them completely uinder control Some parents could do well to take lessons on their charges behaviour from the dog owners. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can’t tell the difference between a dog and a horse, you shouldn’t leave the house. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My pet horse was banned from Perry barr in the 2014 season .He jumped the fence onto the track during a heat went running round the track. Until that point he had been great company to me and others during the meetings and now i have to catch the bus home which is a bit of a pain because until 2014 i would ride home on my horse. I have contacted the club numerous times since to see if they will lift the ban and every time i have received a rejection letter back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funnily enough I think the opposite to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always brings criticism from some on here as I found out when I dared to mention the subject several years ago. I'm quite relieved now that I don''t go to any tracks these days other than Leicester, who do allow dogs, and very occasionally Peterborough who also allow them.

False dawn 2,294 Posted May 6, 2019 Can I say that you are all entitled to your opinion of dogs and their owners treatment of them? All I would say about my attendance at speedway meetings with my faithful friend is this. I am a responsible owner. Lenny remains on a lead at all times at meetings. Should he disgrace himself (God forbid) I always (N.B. ALWAYS) pick up. And he doesn't bark or detract from the entertainment in any way. The only time that other fans take note of his presence is to come and say hello and enjoy his happy response to their attention. He, therefore, in my opinion, only adds to the occasion and in no way upsets anyone or imposes his attentions on anyone. If it were in any way different I would not bring him. I make no apology for wanting to bring Lenny to meetings and we both enjoy each other's company. The way our adopted team is going this season, if I choose to stay away I think Lenny would leave me at home. Lenny's a nicer bloke than some so called fans that I've met and he is certainly better behaved than a small minority of children at meetings I've been to. Lenny is a light brown Greyhound cross. I'm conspicuous by my Bees coat and hat. Feel free to come and meet us at meetings at any time and debate the wisdom of my bringing him with me. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
