BuxtonTiger 122 Posted May 23, 2020 If you go to "greyhound star" website there is a letter from the well known stadium owners to the greyhound trainers (sorry I can not post a link) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadster 221 Posted May 23, 2020 The letter actually says they propose to resume greyhound racing at Poole when the public are allowed back in, a far cry from the implication of the original post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaming international only lease the stadium and sub lease to the speedway, the owners were the Poole council who have supported speedway through think and thin. What is worrying is that Poole council no longer exist now that Poole, Christchurch & Bournemouth have merged into to one known as BCP. I hope that the new authority has the same attitude to the sport, I am very concerned this might not be the case, hope I'm wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted May 24, 2020 With Gaming International presumably still having to pay BCP Council some form of rental fee for the lease, with no income at all apart from the currently very underused car park, then that may well have longer term implications on the stadium's future - especially if they renege on the lease and the Council take it back. Incidentally the Ford family and several Poole Speedway sponsors still have very good relationships with the new Council. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
