They definitley might be.

Arena Racing Company (“ARC”) can confirm that an agreement has been reached to acquire Cearnsport Limited, the owners of Central Park greyhound stadium and speedway track. Upon completion of the acquisition, Central Park will join Newcastle, Nottingham, Sunderland and Perry Barr within the ARC group of Greyhound Stadia alongside sixteen racecourses, which include Doncaster, Newcastle, Chepstow and Royal Windsor. Promoter at Central Park, Roger Cearns, will continue with the business through a transitional period ahead of the return of owners and spectators. In addition, Roger will maintain his links with the track via the Kent Kings Speedway team. ARC will continue to honour the ongoing media rights agreement between the stadium and SIS. ARC Director of Media and Technology, Mark Kingston, said, “We are delighted to have reached agreement with Cearnsport Limited, and to welcome Central Park into the ARC group of venues.” “As a well-respected and popular track, Central Park will really enhance the portfolio of greyhound racing that we host and reiterates our long-term commitment to the sport. We will, of course, fulfil any standing arrangements with regards the track’s media rights, but look forward to Central Park becoming a key part of our schedule going forward. “We are incredibly grateful to Roger Cearns, whose knowledge and expertise will be hugely valuable to the business during an upcoming transitional period.” Roger Cearns said, “I have, for some time now, thought that after 60 years connected to greyhound stadiums and 23 years at Central Park that the time is right for me to retire for younger people to take charge and to secure a sound future for Central Park, its trainers and employees.” “Having closely investigated all possibilities I consider that ARC, who are acknowledged leaders in this field, operating over 20 venues, are the best option to achieve that. Racing at Central Park will continue as normal with the exciting Category One Grand National commencing soon.” “I believe that being within the ARC group will give Central Park, it’s staff and trainers a secure and prosperous future and my best wishes go to them.” This news follows the announcement of the establishment of a landmark joint venture between ARC and Entain, which will deliver a single, optimized UK greyhound racing schedule from 1 January 2024.

Report on greyhound forum that Arena Racing Company(ARC) have reached an agreement to buy Central Park.

Ah, but they play in a Scottish league.

Rumours that greyhounds are returning.

And a promoter.

Well done to Edinburgh, GWC's suggestion would have only have worked if the promoters owned the stadium and nothing took place on the centergreen, it couldn't be done at Ashfield due to the football pitch for instance.

Ashfield is not far from H.M.P. Barlinnie, maybe they could arrange a guest booking.

I don't think the new LED street lights are any better, cheaper maybe, but there is no spread of light only puddles of light.

Where are they?

Maybe there's nobody better.

Think they should change the title of this page to, "Hey dude where's my Star?"

That was my thought, how could you make an internal combustion different?

Didn't take long for the usual "cheque book" crap to surface eh Lionspride?

Some Scottish school kids have been back for a week.

Uefa want an answer by 7th April whether fans will be alowed into Hampden for the Euros and Nippy won't want to upset the Europeans, she thinks she's their pal.

Certainly won't be Workington.

Great answer, nothing like having a discussion and that was nothing like having a disscusion.

We're not easing in line with England.

Glasgow has a team, where would the support come from? Again it would take a lot of money to get it up and running. Cut a new track, construct safety fence, pits and dressing rooms.

I think you can drop the Glasgow and Edinburgh fixtures following Sturgeons announcement;

The problem is the capacity, you wont be allowed 4,000 in if that's more than 50% of stadium capacity.

Fence should be weld mesh, not chain link, I'll stand by that.

Dont know, I'm not involved on that side of fence now but was told by someone who is that was the case.

Maybe should have said new track or fences being replaced. Glasgow replaced the chain link with weld mesh a couple of years ago.
