No Nonsense Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Meant to have a night out here in the land of weeg on Friday. I'm aware that its condition is not the best but was wondering whether its a good night out or not?? Anyone been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor.Arturo Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Only been once many moons ago, not much better than a flapper track, but you can get a few beers. Just dont bet heavy......not exactly kosher, think of the old Powderhall in Edinburgh, that will give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn artist Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 i've never been, but have passed a few times. some of the streets round it are ropey as ****. it pretty much sits between the east end and rutherglen. and there is what looks like a travellers camp a few streets away. my suggestion is take someone elses car. maybe a hobo friend could drive.

Pretty much the same as Powderhall used to be. It sells alcohol,that's all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If you're dog doesn't win, it'll probably end up being flung off a bridge over the M8. Personally, I would discourage anyone from supporting greyhound racing. You can get a beer somewhere much nicer in Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamblow Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Been a few times and its a great night out. Bevvy and gambling fun. The two don't mix too well so keep the gambling for fun. Tip - allways bet on the dog to poo last, never fails for 50% of races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would discourage anyone from supporting greyhound racing. You can get a beer somewhere much nicer in Glasgow. Not so much nowadays, the main race tracks are owned by Ladbrokes, Corals or Hills and the owners are paid pretty well by the big bookies. The tracks are in place for the betting shops, you dont see many punters at the actual races. The big three bookies do have have strict controls at their tracks. Thats not to say the rules (cruelty etc) are followed 100% of the time, but to be fair to ladbrokes hills and Corals, they do try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
