GOBATA
"Tonight’s GOBATA meeting of owners at Waltham Abbey will hear for another call for a vote of no confidence in GBGB Practitioner Director John Haynes. It will follow the unanimous vote for the same made by trainers at their AGM at Coventry back in August, the difference this time being that the no confidence vote will be called for by an owner. Howard Berlin of Ilford says his main reason for calling the vote is based on the premise that the “Practitioner Director at the GBGB should be the subject of a democratic ballot.” He continues: “The only democractic ballot we have had showed **** had a large majority when it came to the election of chairman of the Greyhound Trainers’ Association. “It is my suggestion that Mr Haynes stands down and that we have a new ballot of all registered owners, breeders and trainers to decide who represents the people who provide the product for greyhound racing to function. “After all, without owners, breeders and trainers there would be no industry, Mr Haynes and Mr Holloway can then stand for election, or indeed anyone who is a current owner, trainer or breeder.
“The GBGB must, as an organisation, open up to the many people on the outside who have the vision, the drive and who have the entrepreneurial skills to move our great sport forward."
We empathise with Mr Berlin’s thoughts and wish him well but democracy in greyhound racing? We hold out faint hope of that bearing in mind
that the GBGB will not even allow representatives from the Greyhound Trainers' Association onto their various committees."
