Absolutely pathetic decision to leave the trainers in the north east high and dry imo. GRV are ruining our sport and the quicker John Stephens and Jan Wilson are gone...the better.
They are blaming the council because they say they cant upgrade or relocate the track but why would you need to? Ive been to wang dogs and its fine imo. It has a place to put the dogs, a track with far king sand on it and bloody boxes for the dogs to jump out of. The lure goes around with a bunny on it and it has tab facilities?????????? So y would u need to close it?
I have spoken to alot of owners and trainers and they are fed up with grv and would love to see the back of the current persons in charge.
They are ruining our beloved sport by putting the all mighty dollar ahead of the people who actually run the sport... the owners and trainers.
They should be concentrating on improving their current rules on dogs fighting(not marring.... FIGHTING!!!!!), they need to look at swabbing more dogs after some perplexing results of late, where dogs are winning at 20-1+ after some incredible form reversals.
Wake up to yourself GRV.
ps- Could grv please put this question on their website poll
Are you currently happy with the board and people in charge?

... They know the answer so no way will they do it.
Oh and how wonderful is the watchdog
