GREENOCK 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 Scottish town of Greenock once had a greyhound track situated at Cappielow Park and built around the perimeter of the local football team, once called Morton.The track was situated at 4° 43' W 55° 56' N and was independently run by Fork Greyhound Racing, first opening for business on 12th August 1933.
