It's a disgrace no leading member of the supporters club has given us a update. Don't need to know the details of discussions just a idea if looking good or not. I think it's safe to say unfortunately it's game over.

Wont be long now... things are moving along nicely... nothing can be written in stone at the min but if everyone sells up there will be no dogs to race so will close down again as quickly as it opens... there will be a meeting called as soon as the guys behind the scenes get the all clear... anyone having problems getting dogs on {as i have myself} can ring micky 07761603505 in Derry, he knows the predicament we are in and has kindly offered to run an extra night if he gets the entries... its a fair drive but will keep ur dogs intrested until Drumbo opens... Keep the head up

Hi Bobby, I'm only yapping here as no one as came on here to give a simple update in over a month.. Most of us are paid supporters members and only want a update on what's going on. Like hi forks talks are in a advanced stage hopefully drumbo will be back. Sorry forks discussions are not so good at this stage and we don't know if drumbo will reopen at this stage ect ect...
Im no intention of selling up I love the dogs and will travel as far as needed to race but drumbo is my local and would love to see it back or at least know what's going on.

Dean it is all the rumours that are doing the rounds that get peoples backs up. The reason the committee cant comment, Im told is legally they cant have anything out in the public domain until everything is sorted. There are start dates etc Ive heard but again Chinese whispers. Hope it opens soon with a big broom to clean out all the dead wood,not just the select few.

HAVING READ SOME OF THE POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA I FELT THE NEED TO RELUCTANTLY MAKE A STATEMENT TO DISPELL THE RUMOURS CURRENTLY CIRCULATING.
DRUMBO PARK IS CURRENTLY GOING THRU A LEAGAL PROCESS OF WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL, AS SOON AS I GET NOTIFICATION THE LEGAL PROCESS IS COMPLETE I WILL CALL A MEETING REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THE LEGAL PROCESS WITHIN DAYS AND IT WILL BE POSTED ON THIS SITE THE MINUTE I GET WORD THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE.
THATS THE WAY IT IS EVERYONE AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO STOP POSTING DETAILS OF RUMOURS THEY HAVE HEARD AS SOME OF THE STATEMENTS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS.
WE ARE HOPEFUL THINGS WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH AND IV ALREADY SAID A MEETING WILL BE CALLED AND EVERYONE WILL BE INFORMED OF THE OUTCOME AND THE FUTURE OF RACING AT DRUMBO PARK.
BELIEVE ME I HAVNT BEEN SITTING ON MY HANDS THIS LAST 2 MONTHS AS SOME PEOPLE SUSPECT AND A LOT OF HARD WORK HAS BEEN AND IS BEING DONE BY DTSC COMMITTEE.
SEE YOU ALL SOON, ALL I ASK IS OUR MEMBERS TO TRUST ME. YOURS IN SPORT CLICK CURRENT CHAIRMAN DRUMBO TRACK SUPPORTERS CLUB

Thanks click, for giving an update, hope all the rumours are true, a lot of people are frustrated, about track closing, me being one, you deserve a medal, for getting club up and running, in first place, it's a shame, a great facility like drumbo going to waste, I just hope all the owners and trainers, who had stopped racing there, will come back and help keep greyhound racing going in the North,
