Greyhound DerbyI have tickets to go to years years Greyhound Derby final.
Have never been to a Dog meet as they shut all the Local courses around me when i was much younger.
It always looks a good laugh when its on the T.V.
Is it worth traveling to London for the meet?
Probably take in a days racing and Clubbing in London afterwards if i do go.
Please advise.

I have had a few enquiries for my taxi service from Stansted Airport to Wimbledon for the Greyhound Derby 2008 and if I copuld get my hands on 'Free' tickets they would be worth it.
The Irish will be over in droves, not quite like for the Cheltenham Festival but it is an 'Annual' trip for the greyhound fans.
I'll be trying to arrange transport from a few different locations for the Final Night, I know we have another Mercedes Vito going to Brighton to pick up a crowd from Hove Greyhound Stadium.
If you want to know more PM me and I'll fill you oin on details. See you all in Wimbledon I hope.
