  1. Brian Collins said much the same to me, you should give yourself a fright sometimes.
  2. When they raced at Old Meadowbank they raced on Saturdays.
  3. I suggested a plastic bag a few years ago, being fed up with a soggy copy, the answer was it wasn't feasible.
  4. Ray Stadia, on your point of "rent a protest" At Shawfield ther is usually about a dozen protesters with dogs, one night there was twenty odds. low and behold aTV news crew turned up to interview them. We have had to supply water for the dogs on a very hot summer night, so much for caring for the dogs. I was in a shop and a woman with a retired hound, she was a member of Greyhound Awareness, was telling a gob smacked assistant how a dog with one eye had run into the track wall and was hit on the head with a hammer. I assured the assistant that it was completely untrue. In fact we did have dogs who were blind in one eye and raced well.
  5. Former Glasgow, Edinburgh and Berwick stalwart Dougie Templeton has sadly passed away. R.I.P. Dougie
  6. I know people who work very hard rehoming greyhounds when their racing days are over and some who for various reasons don't become racers. Some people swallow what the antis spout like dogs being euthanized using captive bolt guns and kennels having freezers for dead dogs, why would they want to keep them? I can assure you at licenced tracks, where the antis are targeting, dogs are humanley put to sleep by injection by a qualified vet. As far as freezers go, tracks do have a small freezer to hold deceased dog before being taken to university vet schools for student education or taken by the owner for cremation to have the ashes to keep or to be buried.
  7. They think it was because of their protests Belle Vue is closing. These people won't be happy untill there is noihing left, speedway could be in their sights because rider get injured.
  8. Do you have any inside knowledge of greyhoundracing and how dogs are treated? I've seen grown men crying over the loss of a dog and not because of the financial loss but the loss of a pet.
  9. Not an opinion shared in Glasgow.
  10. Demoted to raker would still be too good for him.
  11. We could say that about most places in the country.
  12. Allegedly because of non payment of wages, no doubt you would work without being payed.
  13. Not that I want to see it but if your landlord gets planing perrmisionn for houses it would close, therefore the future is uncertain.
  14. Any chance of giving me next weks lottery numbers? 2020 can wait.
  15. Not if you widen the bends at the end of the new straight.
  16. I know it's a once a year event, that's why I said the toilets were adequate for normal crowds but not the Pairs.
  17. Good toilets? you're having a laugh, maybe for normal meeting but not for a meeting like the Pairs. With a portable toilet company on their doorstep how much would it cost for some extra units? A couple on the second bend and one one the third are hardly adequate.
  18. You missed the i in if Gaz, very bad mistake and very hard to spot.
  19. Congratulations to Taylor Lanning on his appointment as official photographer to Great Britain speedway team.
