hyabb17 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 What the hell has gone on as I’ve just seen this tweeted by someone in the greyhound community BREAKING NEWS POOLE STADIUM CLOSED! Not the news I wanted to bring to you this evening. Hopefully there is a few avenues we can try to go down, but a meeting was held this evening which has resulted in the closure of the stadium. More news to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 When Belle Vue greyhound stadium closed giving a final reason of financial problems due to no public being allowed, I feared how many others could follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz9100 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 BCP Council own the stadium. The land was left to the council by Lady Wimborne for sports use only. It just can't be knocked down and built on. The earlier tweet relates to the greyhounds only not the speedway. The car park and children's nursery are still operating as normal. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 The site can only be used for sporting events ONLY. As said before it was given to the council under these strict guidelines by lord and lady Wimborne many years ago. The stadium could well be re-developed but a stadium must still remain on the site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor...

Saw on here about them continuing furlough but just wondered what roles they actually have. Terrible news for all affected that's for sure.

Some years ago Altrincham Ice Rink could not be built on because of a similar covenant. It did not stop houses. The guidelines were then, this is now.
