KINSLEY 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 Stadium at Kinsley can be located on the Wakefield Road on the outskirts of Pontefract in Yorkshire. It traditionally raced on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings over distances ranging from short sprints over 100 metres, up to long distance races over 630 metres.

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
