anyone know if theres any truth in the rumor

i aint been to the dogs for a few weeks

went last night was told the bad news

soon be no greyhound tracks left the way its going

its not definate but more than likely as the lease is up in April they have applied for an extention but have informed all the trainers/owners so they can make alternative arangements this is what the NNWRF have been told by the stadium manager Paul we should hear in the next couple of weeks

I've been crossposting a message saying that it is closing and that rescue places will be urgently needed for many of the greyhounds (see the homes needed and greyhound sections)

Bert has been in contact with Paul racing manager at Portsmouth as we have an open booked in October so my previuos post is the info we were given last week

Portsmouth was earmarked for closure 2 years ago but they got a reprieve don't hold out much hope for it stating open but you never know
