I never realised the Scottish area was the same as the rest of Britain with the decimation of the sport. That is a tragic list Bairn. Is it pressure of housing development or just lack of funds due to diminishing support?

safari, it's a mixture of a lot of things, young people are not interested anymore, too much entertainment elsewhere, especially the t v, people are too lazy to go out now, I used to go to the dogs 5 nights a week, their were plenty of bookies who would take a decent bet, evening greyhound racing was the only for a gambler to go, that has all changed now, you can sit in the house watch the racing in comfort and get better prices, paid out instantly with no problems. it's a no brainer really. I don't think racing will ever recover, especially in the cities, you know the reason for that, immigration. cheers.
