If so then presumably any staff on furlough are those specifically employed for Speedway?! As the Diamonds statement says, 'a proposal re. furloughed staff has been put to the Stadium owners and we are awaiting a reply'!! Presumably that might include the Diamonds promotion picking up some/all of the staff costs?! Although I would have thought most of that cost would be covered by the stadium rental charges? The stadium might be getting used without the grandstand and its facilities for the greyhounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole only had two meetings which was either betting shops or going abroad so not economically to run one went to Swindon and I think the other one went to Perry bar I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
