When does the Sandown Canidrome start? Shonks are planning to on Sandown money, to breed rear and race on contract, the company greyhounds, all under the guise of better animal welfare. Please stop this before it gets off the ground. This is dodgy, dodgy,dodgy. The names behind this will be familiar to all. IT'S HAPPENING!!! Usually i would tag this a Lebanese rort, but this time it is not.

Many agree it is not a good look for our sport and moneys would of been better spent on a TV advertisement supporting greyhound racing

This was done in the 80's
EXTERNAL LINK . why dont we do this now

Sandown and the GRV are now deciding our Fate .....

This is so wrong and is Illegal going by GA's own rules in regards to Syndicates

I REPEAT
Show me one successfull syndicate in greyhound racing and i will show you 100 more that have failed

This is a deliberate attempt to rail road the SMALL PLAYERS.. ..

The Sandown Comitiee should all hang there heads in SHAME ...

SELLOUT Railroaded ... Many should now be asking QUESTIONS

Do not sell out the smaller Owner trainer and breeder ...

I have been rambling on about this for years

WE MUST STOP THE COMMERCIALISATION ........

The GRV's intention is to destroy what we now know ...

The GRV are in fact establishing there own US style Kennel structure ..

Stand up . Speak out ... STOP THE ROT

This so so wrong on many levels and surely there must be others within our great sport who feel the same NO CLUB SHOULD RACE DOGS IN AUSTRALIA ..

This smacks us all in the face .....WE ARE THE SPORT ....The clubs are there to support its Members ..

A Club does not go out and compete against its very own Members THAT IS FARKED UP sh1t right there and it smells of corruption and is open to all kinds of attacks ..

I REPEAT WHAT GIVES THIS CLUB and the Spollys Syndicate the right to take up OUR GAP Slots

Who pushes who's agenda here ....

Spollys have been in the game for about 5 years ...
How many city winners have they had in this time

How many winners have they had and what is there strike rate ..

I also hear there is a dispute with Spollys Syndications already with news of the Police may be called in to decide the fate of forged documents ...

Hey the TRUTH HURTS ....Suck it princess's

Great start Boys keep on paddling up sh1t creek because it shows us all the lack of forsight you have all shown so far . WAKE UP IT IS NOW 2018

I urge every Greyhound person to vote at the next elections ....LABOUR are gone in Victoria and they know it and dont you just love the way the Racing Minister comes out and gives money to Shepparton track this week ......Just before a election ..lol

Every State Government knows the POWER WE ALL HAVE ...VOTE AS ONE
Take back what is ours ...

We must take back control of our own Destiny ..

Not that I disbelieve Russ or Kev, but is there any chance Michael Floyd from the Sandown club respond to this and let the AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY know exactly what the facts are???

I, and I would imagine, tens of thousands of others would like some transparency.
If there is any truth to this, it has the potential to affect many people outside of Victoria.

Look forward to a response.

Tally ho.

He MF only pops in when he needs some promotion for the Club ..

You will not find any of them commenting because i believe deep down they all know this will effect the smaller OBT ..

You are correct this impact all over Australia .
This maybe will be the first with others to follow if this succeeds.

You are a logical thinking Bloke Mick and do you see this helping the grass root participant .

This is all 100% FACT ...Backed up by emails and every person in Victoria got the early prospectus delivered to us all from Sandown and the GRV .

This is in violation of the Clubs code of practice and conduct and it also is Illegal under the present rules and regs with GA ...

Why should we all have to endure this kind of Bullsh1t ....

Truly it is pathetic...

HEARING SEEING and being told the TRUTH is something the PTB don't adhere to they don't listen and they certainly don't respect its MEMBERS...

I will continue to be a thorn in there side .....That is my promise to you Mick ....

I do hear rumblings and many have been talking about it ..

I would say to be fare it is a 90 out 100 People agree with us and the deal Sandown cut has many very upset ..

I also hear the Directors and the committee is also taking some heat and so they should they truly have no feelings or compassion for the little guys

The grass roots Members built this industry we trusted those who ran the industry .
We conformed to all the rules as we still do today ..

Where is the support for the little GUYS .

We have something very unique to share to the world ...We need to promote us and our Families and our dogs nothing else matters

We need to be saying to people BREED WITH CONFIDENCE ...

We have your back we have places in GAP for your dogs .....

We do not need syndicates ran by the Clubs and the GRV filling up these GAP spots ...This is what they call WASTAGE ...

The GRV made this word WASTAGE ...Funny how things come back to bite you on the ass hey Big Al ...

Wastage a word used first by the GRV ..

99% of all Greyhound syndicates FAIL leaving many with a sour taste in there mouths never to return ...

What would make anyone think Syndicates are the answer FOR OUR SOLUTION and thats just plain DUMB...

Dumb ass dog sh1t ....Truly it defies believe ....

The Labour Government knows it is in trouble with the Racing industry participants we hold the trump card and now they are spending spending spending on Greyhound racing ..

All smoke and mirrors and i hope many will consider there Vote ....

A vote for Labour is a vote for further restraint of trade they sit with the Greens ....

.....

PS
I love the way Sandown done this
They sent out heaps of giveaways with food and so on and they added in the new Syndicate so maybe it silenced the masses ...

Victorian Labour Government backed

Shepparton huge Vic Labour government investment

We do not need funding and we can stand alone ...

Why do we give the Anti's ammunition to then shoot us down .....

Well, buggered if I know, Kevvy.
I've looked on the Sandown website and F/B and can't find one mention of it!
If they have sent out flyers to Vic participants one would think they would jump at the chance to clarify this concept here?
Seems Mickey F isn't in the mood for communication on this as I noticed he also didn't comment on the other thread about this.

Really hard to comment when all the facts aren't laid down.
Any chance someone could post the exact info people have received so far?

That's sad to hear you quitting, Lawrence.
What I'm interested in knowing is the complete structure of this concept including the T's and C's.
If it is as everyone says "a goer" then I guess we will find out.
The weird thing for me is I have not heard of any industry consultation, business plans, or feasibility studies done???

Mick you cannot buy success as you know it takes hard work ..

You also know that many syndicates Failed in the past.

Michael, I love the dogs to pieces but with all the new rules & the treatment of some of the participants in this sport plus this new development my 40 years in dogs is unfortunately over. The small trainer who does this for fun & the love of the game are not wanted by the PTB any more & they are trying to kill them all off.

That's sad to hear you quitting, Lawrence.
