Ironically the same caring people that sadly turn a blind eye when the dogs health is no longer a priority and they get the luxury of a bullet and landfill site to end their days 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted May 3, 2019 I can't understand this rule anyway. Coventry ran Greyhound Racing and dogs were still always allowed. Wolverhampton, Oxford and Swindon all did then suddenly brought the rule in so that was the end of our visits to those tracks. There aren't exactly any Greyhounds wandering around during Speedway matches so why are visiting fans pet dogs banned? If it's just a health risk it would be simple enough to show up-to-date injection records. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why wouldn't you take 'em to speedway? I'm sure they would like Dean Barker, Tai Woofinden, Terrier Betts, and the like. Not forgetting Lassie Bjerre, or most of the Great Danes, actually...

Not until they make another Lassie film anyway. But then I don't go to Glasgow or Edinburgh from my home in the midlands, to go to the movies. Enough of this levity (for now at least). We still have a few tracks missing from my list. Can we complete it please? Edited May 4, 2019 by False dawn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djr 145 Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) This is one of those situations where you cannot please all of the people all of the time. There are some dog owners who have to take there dog EVERYWHERE they go , regardless of it maybe annoying other people ( or annoying the dog even ! } Personally , I don't want to go and watch Speedway while stepping in dog poo and listening to dogs barking . As someone said , do you take a dog to the Cinema ? a Football Match ? I would probably avoid any track where a lot of people took dogs ( I believe you could add Cardiff to the NOT allowed list ) Edited May 4, 2019 by djr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t recall ever seeing a horse at a Speedway meeting. I’ve also never heard a bark or seen a turd (insert double entendre) at any meeting I have attended. Does it really bother you that much? Guess you just don’t like dogs, nothing to do with Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
