City Ground (Cambridge)
After several months a High Court ruling stated that "the club is entitled to rescind the [sale of the land] - having been induced to make it by a fraudulent misrepresentation for which Ross River are responsible".As a consequence Cambridge City were automatically demoted from the Conference South to the Southern League Premier Division, despite the club appealing against the decision.[4] In 1974 the management decided to become National Greyhound Racing Club (NGRC) affiliated[5] but the association only lasted five months before promoter Laurie Boost said increased costs had forced the track to revert to its independent status.Also in 1979 a newcomer called Sport Promoter, reared by Pat and his wife Linda Mullins, broke the track record over 400m at Cambridge in his first race and went on to win the Romford Puppy Cup and Juvenile.The George Morrow-trained Northway Point won the Scurry Gold Cup, and highly respected trainer Joe Cobbold joined the training ranks.Joe Cobbold claimed the 1981 Trainer of the Year and the latest training recruit Natalie Savva then went on to win the Puppy Derby with Special Account.The golden period came to an end in 1983 when Cambridge had its NGRC licence cancelled and reverted once again to independent status but this forced the leading trainers to leave.
