freesport seem too have uncannily managed to get all the one sided walkovers

Central park dogs get plenty of cash from the greyhounds being streamed all over the world via media rights, .that would have been the issue for all greyhound /speedway stadiums even if they got an august start. Poole were a million to one to race this season once they shut the dawgs down.

I agree 100%, they had to force the issue , there is no way speedway can be graded an elite sport alongside football, rugby and racing.

Unless the powers that be can get a clear concise answer from sport and culture within 10 days i dont think theyve any choice but to call stumps this season. Its not an elite sport by any stretch and you couldnt call gatherings mass . The government are keener for the culture vultures to go too a fetid opera or a show indoors than let people go for a pleasant evening in the fresh air where the current odds are 2,000-1 to catch even a symptom of this media driven virus.

completely agree, def top 4 no probs, v good at home and a few riders capable away, reserves never outclassed either

Did they not mention elite sport yesterday , from oct 1. Surely speedway isnt going to be put under that banner

we are stuffed.

Its the hope that kills you really. These promoters are going to need clarification by late july to be ready to go mid august. The silence is deafening on the sporting with crowds front. Ladbrokes/coral own 4 dog tracks, all 4 councils have been asked if crowds can return, 1 yes, 1 no and 2 abstentions so far have been the replys

everybody loves lublin

a boost for the sporting sect is that goodwood are looking to run a meeting at theyre racing festival the last week in july, attendance around 5,000 as a trial, members and owners attending. Thoroughly sensible idea, if 5,000 can go there which takes 5 times that then it should open the flood gates for other sport from early august.

15,000 rioters in a BLM march crammed into one street 4 wks ago hasnt seemed to cause a spike despite ZERO social distancing. Very little to worry about if we apply common sense.

i agree 100%, i know its safe but catering etc are a reasonable proportion of monies gained by tracks and promotions, that could be the tipping point as wether running or not for them.

We will have to live alongside this virus for a good wee while, the economy gets boosted by leisure arenas opening, unless you want every sporting venue to lock its doors and never return you better hope things get back to normality sooner rather than later. Even the more moderate prem lge football teams cant make it pay with no fans going thru the turnstiles. im not the one being stupid

There wont be any spectator sport to worry about unless they stop pissing about and open the economy up properly. They want the economy too sing and have only invited 25% of the choir.

Anywhere thats not media rights driven is dead.

24 is a hell of a start tbh, i wanted to be on lublin giving up 12, i will pass

Some of the poole dogs are at hove, some are at Swindon and the odd few central park, a few old uns prob retired too.

Goodish effort from lublin tbh

On reading a tweet from hove greyhound stadiums it looks like all stadia are licenced via the sports ground safety authority. It looks like possibly owners of greyhounds and horses may be able to attend from july 4 and some sort of crowd allowed around a month or so after . Its a bit demoralising to see the public 40 deep at bournemouth beach flouting SD rules mind you

restaurants and pubs to reopen Hairdressers to reopen Hotels and campsites to reopen OUTDOOR LEISURE ACTIVITIES CAN RESUME Places of worship to reopen SD 2M REDUCED TO 1M Surely that's very good news for speedway getting up and running .

It was a sad day when they shut smallmead, was a bit of a tip but literally bugger all has been done on the site for a decade

I admit to missing going to Eastbourne, I liked the side a lot this yr and hope to see them in action worst way at the start of august

All i know is the same mob shut bristol, milton keynes and reading .

i would take any price there wont be any more dog racing at Wimborne road , poole

The moon is made of pancake batter too. All the trainers have been offered other avenues. Stadia uk are great at shutting tracks, not very gd at reopening them tho
