If the greyhounds are moving to Dunstall Park then what does this mean for the future of Monmore Green? Surely Wolverhampton cant sustain 2 dog tracks less than 3 mile apart? 

It will be houses. Thats why they didn’t renew the speedway lease

Greyhound racing does not need spectators to be sustainable, in fact it costs less to run without spectators as there is no need for lighting, heating nor support staff, the bulk of income for Greyhound Stadia comes from live streaming around the World to gambling outlets be it online or in shops.

So Birmingham end there time at Perry Barr with a league match against Leicester in august, no farewell nothing, just like wolves did, no sentiment and it’s piss poor but do we expect anything else these days 

I can’t believe they are making absolutely no effort with a farewell.

As sad as it may be, if the stadium is closing/the lease is ending on a certain date, the club may not have any choice in the matter.

They don’t want another months rent, unless a rain off where they will have too

What about if they'd made it to the pay offs?

If its true that they have to be out by the end of August then they can't fit another meeting in plus the planning permission only allows one meeting per week

They don’t have to be out, it’s just another months rent, it tells you in their press release, the last meeting is 25th against Leicester but this may change if they have to rearrange a rain off

Wolves had the final meeting of the Olympique with a big send off from Porkie, CVS and PA. Traditionally the last meeting of the season and a fitting finale. 
Huge sentiment to anyone that was there so not sure how you are comparing the 2.
