HALCROW 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.

 
Situated in Gretna, Scotland, Halcrow Greyhound Stadium is a well run family track, run by James Norman. The original track in Gretna was around the perimeter of the local Football Club at Raydale Park, but that closed in 1985.  It was in 1986 that the Halcrow track opened for business.

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
