I'm sure I heard on LBC a few months back that a plan was going to be submitted (or actually submitted) to build 800 flats on the site. If they sell for £180-200k a pop think how much money can be made from that. I don't know how the GRA's business model works but I'm assuming the stock cars is just a handy top-up to the greyhounds, which in itself seems to be a dying pastime. Selling the site to developers could make a few people exceedingly rich, especially if they view greyhound racing's days as numbered. I went there for the first time last November (stock cars not greyhounds) and really enjoyed it (except for the shockingly overpriced/poor food).
