Rueben brothers are in it for themselves.They took ARC venues out of some of the betting shops in 2017 and had no live pictures if they did not agree with payment.

A see they've taken Sedgefields 'biggest racing day' Boxing Day fixture and moved it to Newcastle, wonder what that is about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soupy 556 Posted December 1, 2022 There was two horses killed the meeting I attended before the last one and cancelled the meeting.They did give me free complimentary tickets to the last one but I have no idea why it has been transferred to Newcastle.

It's to give the track extra time to recover: https://www.racingpost.com/news/festive-blow-for-sedgefield-as-boxing-day-fixture-one-of-four-racedays-moved/588595 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it does seem bizarre,,, as you say racing tomorrow and am sure it has been raced on after that incident? Shame tho, cos I do enjoy Sedgefield on Boxing Day,,, suppose I can walk to Gossy Park and our driver can have a pint or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robbieblackadder fan club 145 Posted December 1, 2022 I just thought it was hypocritical of them talking about building sport in the city while assisting in closing down one of the oldest sporting venues in the north east, but it’s all down to money with them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
