BuxtonTiger Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 If you go to "greyhound star" website there is a letter from the well known stadium owners to the greyhound trainers (sorry I can not post a link) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadster Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The letter actually says they propose to resume greyhound racing at Poole when the public are allowed back in, a far cry from the implication of the original post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming international only lease the stadium and sub lease to the speedway, the owners were the Poole council who have supported speedway through think and thin. What is worrying is that Poole council no longer exist now that Poole, Christchurch & Bournemouth have merged into to one known as BCP. I hope that the new authority has the same attitude to the sport, I am very concerned this might not be the case, hope I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 With Gaming International presumably still having to pay BCP Council some form of rental fee for the lease, with no income at all apart from the currently very underused car park, then that may well have longer term implications on the stadium's future - especially if they renege on the lease and the Council take it back. Incidentally the Ford family and several Poole Speedway sponsors still have very good relationships with the new Council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 The stadium is ear marked for flats , the council have been looking at the park and ride site at creekmoor . If it's a possible site for a stadium of any sort , to be partially funded by the developer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 this surely puts a huge question mark about speedway being held at Poole this season...it appears the stadium needs the secondary spend to make the numbers work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a possible site for a stadium of any sort , to be partially funded by the developer I don't know the Poole area very well having been to about a dozen meetings over the last 10 years including one for the sidecars. I take it that creekmoor is a lot further from the station than the present stadium so if Speedway was moved there it would make it impossible for me to get to the meetings in the future. I know that my attendance in the past will not have kept the stadium in business but on everyone of my trips at least a dozen people joined me in the run to the station once racing had finished and I got the impression that they were regulars.
