CYMMER 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 helping to construct this page. 

The greyhound track was situated on the Cymmer Road in the Welsh town of Porth at 3° 24' W 51° 36' N. The track operated as an independent track outside NGRC rules. It first opened for racing in the early 1960s and closed just 10 years later in the early 1970s.

The site on which the former track once stood is now covered by a housing estate.

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
