| GLAIS 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 in the tiny Welsh village of Glais was situated in the centre of the village at 3° 52' W 51° 41' N and first opened for racing in 1928. The town is close to the city of Swansea and the facilities at the greyhound track gradually improved during its first few years of existence. It operated as an independent flapping track throughout its history. |
   |
| The track closed for the final time in 1939 and today the ground on which the former track once stood is now part of a golf course. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
| 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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
