Never been to Belle Vue but have been to Walthamstow and Wimbledon. I assume they're all the same though.

Pondlife pretty much summed it up. Except for the bit about actually eating the rank food. If possible, have a feed before you go out.

On the night, there will be about 10 people in the crowd who are serious about the dogs, and the other 400 are just out for a laugh, so there's no pressure to take it at all seriously.

Tips:
Get a Racing Post from the newsagents before you go. Simply because they are more fun to work from than the sheets that the track provides.
Don't just stick to the Tote - have a go at using the trackside bookies. They are much more fun.

On Friday, I'm off to the Belle Vue dog track near Manchester for the first time. I don't know what to expect, can anyone share any experiences of this type of event...

I have been to the dogs in London a few times, it's a good laugh with the right people. Food will be tulip though.

One tip, get a couple of local papers / tabloids and check out the tips. The first time I went one of the tipsters called every race but one correctly.

I've been to the Brighton dog track and as far as I can remember the food was alright, not quite up to the standard of the Cheltenham racecourse panoramic restaurant on a spring evening event but ok.

Seriously I've been a couple of times and it's good fun. Well, I am from Bolton.

Although thankfully, I'm not from Bolton
