BOSTON GREYHOUND STADIUM

This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for the scans of badges on this page.

 
Whilst speedway did not arrive at the Boston Sports Stadium until 1970, the stadium was used for greyhounds for the previous 6 years, holding their first meeting on 1st June 1964.

However, greyhound racing had taken place earlier in Boston when a track opened around the local football pitch in 1932. The venture was relatively short-lived as the track closed at the outbreak of War in 1939.

This section gives a comprehensive picture of the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend a visit to
