    Property developers are preying on all sorts of sites, especially in the East End. What is worse, they are being assisted by negligent local authorities who are easily dazzled by the developers spin and cheque books. Newham has to be the worse borough for this in London. I am appalled by what has gone on with regard to Queen’s Market, Upton Park. Now yet another iconic feature of London life is under threat and for what ? Journalists seem largely indifferent and anyone who runs a search on who owns all our local papers soon discovers the reason why. Keep fighting and don’t be frightened to ask difficult questions.

    Disgraceful behaviour by the past owners has put this National treasure in danger of extinction.
    What next, crushing Nelsons Colum for hardcore? Turning St Pauls into flats? Building Council houses on centre court? The local Government officers have a duty to protect this Cathedral of Greyhound racing for the Nation.

    Nothing but depressing news lately, scabby Polititions, scabby Bankers, its May already and little sign of summer sun, my team out of the Champions League. But what would make these things of little consequence ? Racing back at Walthamstow !!!

    The ‘Stow’ was the heart of Greyhound Racing in England. Please someone help and give us back our heart.

    I back the American bid (or anyone else’s) to bring back racing to The Stow.

    There have been so many questions regarding the sale of the ’stow’
    It would appear that there was never a chance given for the stadium to be sold for the continuation of Greyhound racing.
    Can / Should houses be build there?
    What were the facts behind the financial figures?

    Let’s see wrong put right -let’s see a return to Greyhound racing and restore some faith in a system that sees fair play.

    SAVE THE STOW
    It takes both sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. After the ’stow shower’ we need some sunshine to deliver it.

    There is work to do now and the best way to predict the future is to invent it!!

    Save Our Stow. Walthamstow stadium is part and parcel of East London Heritage. It is up to our generation to protect it for future generations.

    Walthamstow is apart of greyhound sporting history and our racing heritage. Don’t let developers drive another nail into the greyhound racing coffin.
