the IGOBF is very disappointed with the recommendations from the Irish greyhound Board through its Indecon report to cease funding for four regional tracks at short notice.
The local GOBAs and their stakeholders are meeting over the next week to discuss the dilemma facing them.
The IGOBF is consulting with the GOBAs and members at this time. The Federation will liaise with each GOBA to support and present an alternative strategy to the IGB to endeavour to keep these grass root tracks open. The Federation will keep all members updated.

Your SHAM group wont keep any tracks open if this is what you are doing with the money you conned from greyhound people, why have you not published the final amount of monies that you Fraudulently collected from punters to keep our tracks safe. Increasing prize money for Northern tracks was not on any agenda when you were promoting your {save our tracks fund} your own tracks are in serious trouble and your SHAM group sit back and promotes Northern Tracks prize money, what genius came up with that idea??? WHY did you not post this article on G-Data for all to see, im sure if the punters who gave money to your group knew where it was going they would have reneged in doing so,
Prizemoney boost on 9th, 16th and 23rd December 2019.🌟 At our AGM we updated members on the status of Brandywell Greyhound Supporters Group (BGSG). Northern Greyhound Owners & Breeders Association (NGOBA) is in its second year and represents those who are members of both Brandywell & Drumbo Supporters Groups and the NGOBA is affiliated to the Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation (IGOBF). The IGOBF pledged to support the NGOBA as much as they could. We have received a donation from the IGOBF which will be used to boost our prize money for 3 meetings prior to Christmas (9th, 16th, 23rd Dec) to 100 for first prize, with the exception of races or competitions that are already carrying sponsorship. We greatly appreciate this support and thank the IGOBF for their commitment to the NGOBA. Santa has come early from the safe our track
PS i see the IGB have shat on your group again.

Dave before you start with the name calling who exactly does Tony Walshes Group represent because im pretty sure no one in this industry supports a traitor... and regardless of where money was given to if it was given in good faith to help another struggling Stadium and the people who race their so be it thats what we are all here to do help each other out and it is absolutely nothing to do with you and your Group of traitors that stood along side the antis in that RTE programe that has done untold damage to our sport and the good people in it...Your RTE Fan club is part of the problem take a permanent holiday or maybe even start up a campaign to save RTE now that be right down your street yourself and Tony could have meetings with Conor Ryan and you might even get invited to their RTE Christmas Party how cool would that be anyway what ever root you take I wish you well you've been a sport...xxx

You are a sad individual with little or no knowledge of what is going on in this industry, you only appear when it is to belittle others, your industry that you claim to support is falling down around you and you cant see it, so instead of making a complete fool of yourself go and do something constructive. Greyhound data must be desperate for users if they continue to allow people like you and piano man use such language on a forum.

Oh I see it alright Dave and I also seen a little fat grey haired man on a RTE program last June...say what you want Dave but a member of your Group took part in a RTE documentary that took our sport to a all time low and that can never be forgiven... For Tony Walshes 5 minutes of Fame he will be remembered for all times as the man who hung our industry out to dry and a traitor...
And if he had any back bone at all knowing how upset people were because of the program he should have came on here and explained his reasoning for been involved in such a program...but that's all little to late now.

My Thanks for you contribution to this thread Dave. The IGOBF proudly represent both tracks in the North of Ireland as their contribution to our industry in the South is a vital part in keeping the industry and local owners and breeders going through the purchase of greyhounds, racing and support. The IGOBF pledged support to the Northern tracks last year to help them promote their tracks and owners to boost prizemoney. It is a very small contribution and we only wish we could gie more. We will continue to support them in any way we can as they do not have any funding from the IGB or the GBGB. No money from the "save our Tracks" fund was used for this. I hope that answers your question. We did put up a post explaining to our members about the monies we received from the benefit night in Shelbourne, we will put the final figures up for all members to see when all pledges are in. We do not have anything to hide, we are above board and democratic. All our GOBAs and members are fully informed. The fund is now there to support all the tracks named in the Indecon report, after their local meetings, we will use our funds to support them in consultation with the members from those tracks as we have clearly stated. If it was down to your private organisation and your attempt to steal the monies from the fund raiser, then there would be no monies to help support the tracks that it was intended for. We will be meeting with each track over the next week or so to help put a strategy in place. You are more than welcome to join one of the official GOBAs and you will be more than informed. Many thanks for taking time to post on our thread. Padjoe Dorney PRO IGOBF

Gentlemen & Ladies, I have been out of action for a while due to ill health. However yesterday I received documentation from the Companys Office. It stated that the following tracks are now in Liquidation, Galway, Waterford, Youghal, Cork, Limerick, Kingdom and the Dublin Greyhound and Sports Association Limited. (Harolds Cross). The latter being of importance to me as a Director of this Company. Now how this came about is beyond me, there has been NO Board meeting called. Neither Des Cowen or Breda O Regan or Myself have been informed by the Company Secretary of a Board Meeting. I cant speak for Wayne Mc Carthy as he is now on the Main IGB Board. Why are all these Stadia in the hands of a Liquidator? Can anyone answer this question. I could be wrong however as far as I am aware a board meeting must be held to remove Directors. This could of course be another act of the IGB Bully Boys. Especially where the Dublin people are concerned. As regards another issue on GD. My solicitors have had no response from Mr. Tony Walsh or his organization regarding an ongoing issue following the fund raising meeting held to seek support for Longford Stadium. After that meeting Mr Walsh sent an open email to my office in which he made certain allegations against myself. This Mr. Walsh maintains arose as a result of a letter he claims was written to him by members of the DGOBA committee. All members of the DGOBA committee maintain they have no knowledge of said letter. My solicitor has requested a copy of the so called letter under the Freedom of Information Act. Its over the allowed 30 day period to produce the letter and neither Mr. Walsh or any of his committee have responded. The matter goes on.
Democratic you say, you held a meeting in Thurles one evening and selected a new so called chairman who has never been involved with any GOBA before only Shelbourne park as a Director, waken man and stop loosing the run of yourself. your friend Mr Ryan is well informed on proceedings?????who is this fictitious poster Padjoe???
Dave, maybe if you attended the meeting you might of learned about democratic elections as per constitutions. You seem very frustrated today about something, your information is very poor and if you came to the meetings yourself would give you the facts first hand. Anyhow, this is not about who is who, time to put our efforts in the current crisis within the industry. The IGOBF has over 1200 members and we will offer our support to all four tracks.

Yes Padjoe Frustrated is right, after attending the open meeting last night that none yes none of your so called committee attended, then today we get information from longford explaining that your Sham group had no input into the longford issue and that you never gave them a shilling only sent some funds up north, now that you have been found out you might disband your Sham group or go away. happy xmas Padjoe.

Many thanks to the IGOBF who made a collection for Longford Track at the Pro Racing meeting in Portlaoise last night. In a show of solidarity the greyhound people donated 825 which is much appreciated! There was also a proposal to raise money for Longford and Lifford tracks by holding a benefit meeting at Shelbourne Park in the near future. Thank you all for your support!
Wrong again Dave.
Out of interest how much have you and your little band of traitors put in for Longford, surely after all your gobshite you'll match what the IGOBF collected at that meeting.
Final point, you've been in this game ten minutes and achieved what!. Oh yes, for nine of those ten minutes you've spewed negativity over this whole industry and everyone in it. WHO THE F;CK MADE ANYONE ANSWERABLE TO YOU.

The more rubbish you contribute to this forum the more you are beginning to stick your head out, at this stage there are not too many posters who use your tone of language, im not sure what name to call you as you use a couple of names, Im almost certain I saw your name a few times in the booklet that was shown to a few people at the open meeting the other evening regarding the selling of greyhounds abroad.

Dave Cunningham I'm convinced you have no interest in solving anything within the greyhound industry you are only causing trouble I put it to you yesterday on the other indicon page that if we are to succeed we had to be all together but all you could do is try to belittle me your group also refused to enter in the mediation that was set up by the IGB. So Dave I put it to you here and now that if you and your CLG group really want to try to solve the problems and we all now what that is THE IGB BOARD ,its christmass time let's stop all the bullshit and get everyone together and put an end to the way we are all been treated by the powers that be.

You really are delusional Dave nit picking at who's who and whats what when the real problem is the problems the industry face my problem towards you and the CLG Group is simple The CLG group is not fit for purpose and is in no position to represent the people of this industry they have lost the support and confidence of everyone and your manner and their manner to how to react to controversy stinks and your one on one social interaction skills let's just say Shrek has a more pleasant way about him...You might argue your corner Dave and your intiltled to but can you honestly stand over Tony Walsh and his part in a program that has done untold damage to this industry iv said it before Tony Walsh if he had any back bone been in the position he was in (not Should of) but 100% had to address his actions to the Greyhound people he failed to do that and to me that was a terrible mark on him as a person.

Maurice, G-Data at one time was fun to use but lately all it does now is depress people, getting into slagging matches with others only adds fuel to the fire so i am going to suggest that everyone put their best foot forward and TRY Stop this industry going down the Toilet Bowl, im out good luck.
