I really need your help. My first passion is Cardiff city, my second is greyhound racing, many great nights down the years when I’ve combined both. You think FIFA has troubles greyhound racing has similar issues. The 3 big bookmakers control the sport and there’s a separate small handful of inner circle people that sit on all the decision making Boards, and they own private tracks themselves. There used to be over 80 tracks, now it’s down to 25, and closing at rapid rate. The loyal people supporting the industry get no say and are run over roughshod (sound familiar?) – the dog owners and dog trainers have no say in the running of the industry. Grants (free money) for bars and restaurants and tractors (every 3 / 4 years) made from industry funds by the people on decision making bodies in favour of tracks owned by those same people. Building work, sand for the tracks – at exorbitant cost - can be paid for out of grants, as long as you use an “approved builder” and there has only been one major one last 5 years and that was controlled by grandson of one of the prominent decision makers.. We are asking for a forensic audit of the governing bodies’ books and records to show where the money has gone, who made the decisions, whether it’s been done right etc etc
Please take 30 seconds to sign this petition by email address and help to go about saving the industry. Many thanks – A Cardiff city fan
