Was sad to see them in decline up here aswell. Yea i myself have very fond memories of the flapping tracks. Practically grew up in them.

Every sunday aswell we were taking some dog or other for a trial.  Trying to think of a name off the cuff when they qualified lol

remember calling one bitch. "Wee regal" cause i smoked Embassy fags not the king size.

Aye its sad they have went the way of so many of our old pastimes! Guess its just to be expected.
