Good luck to all in reinstating Walthamstow to the track it always could and should have been.
I wish the Americans well in their endeavour and hope to see the famous neon sign lighting up the sky once again very soon.

L&Q should be embarrassed in to properly engaging with SOS to bring greyhound racing back to the Stow. They would be foregoing over £1m of partly public funds if they refuse our 750K offer when added to the 200k rates and security costs they are currently paying on the empty site. Its an abuse of public funds and there should be a public outcry in my view. 750k represents 4.2% on their 18m investment-far better than a bank return. There is only one reason why they will not accept it-they know that it will show how viable the track can be run thus scuppering any future chance of planning permission!!
