HUNTINGDON 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 independent flapping track in the Huntingdonshire county town of Huntingdon was situated at 0° 10' W 52° 20' N on the Sapley Road. It was a very tight circuit with circumference of 340 yards. The principal races were the Cambridgeshire, the Cambridgeshire Derby, the Cambridgeshire St Leger and the Huntingdon Hunt Cup.

It closed in 1986 and the ground on which the former track stood is now 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
