Greyhounds racing ends Wed

He said that the new measures will take effect immediately. This might mean that racing stops tonight?

The emergency bill goes to the Lords on Tuesday for Thursday implantation. It has to be passed in law. The racing authorities may take action before

Well, that is how I understand how it works. The bill was only passed today in the commons

Definitely said as of tonight.

I'd have thought no racing tomorrow now.

"From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home"  Either that is correct to the point or it is a figure of speech and it comes into law Wed for three weeks.....Again a bit not so sure,we will have to await more detail

Can't see an entire industry, such as greyhound racing, bending a law on the semantics of tomorrow or Wednesday, in such a grave situation as this. It's not worth them annoying authorities, police, government for the sake of a day or two.

I agree with you Darlo on that.

GBGB called off tomorrow's racing

Sad to see it happen but very surprised they raced on for the past week.

A balancing act between the economics of a struggling industry and bad publicity for keeping on.

I hope it doesn't last too long but rather relieved to see it come to a stop.

After, the utter stupidity of Sports Direct last night may well cause a backlash against them when this is all over. Be shame to see the media turn on the dogs if they have carried on.

when the dogs come back the formbook will be in the air fit dogs and dogs that are not fit

half the dogs running in graded races are never fit anyway so if we ever get back to normality it wont matter

. Spot on

They will all have to trial surely.

Yes sparrow. They will all be out of time.

Half the dogs graded to day will never be seen again ,absolutely tragic , we have Minimum of 2 months , Kennel owned dogs how will they be fed , not every owner will be able to pay their Bills , dogs not seeing a track for months will lose lenghts ,As I stated elswhere Htf do you keep a kennel of Dogs race fit

won't see dog racing this year mate

GBGB

“As previously announced, we will therefore be releasing funds for greyhound and professional trainers to assist them in the coming weeks to provide food and bedding for their greyhounds.

“This will constitute 50p per day per dog for each trainer and will include puppies and retired greyhounds, as well as current racers.

“This contingency eliminates – in the short term – any risk to trainers not being able to meet the basic welfare needs of their greyhounds due to loss of income.

50 P a day  ,WTF  what will that do are they having a larf ???

C@nts have spent nearly a million on Office in rent over the previous few years

50 P A DAY

If anyone can a Foster for a few weeks Might help out ??   Is that allowed ???

We cant leave the poor foookers starving ,3/4 weeks they may cope, any longer ,Disater looms

Another load of starving or dead dogs and the Game will be over  ,Any trainer owner struggling needs to make it known

You cant buy a foooking bone for 50P

I am in the Northeast Pelaw my local any trainer struggling I will take a dog for a few weeks , probably kill me giving it back ,  not sure how many Trainer owners at Sun or Toon ...No good all shouting and roaring when it goes t1ts up , and Blaming people , some trainers will have enough problems looking after their Kids never mind the dogs ....

Very noble gesture case.

Donkey has pointed out to me that the GBGB cannot do anymore , So I will retract any thing said against them on this occasion

I would still like a stewards into the Rent
