LUTON 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 Bedfordshire town of Luton had a greyhound track situated at 0° 28' W 51° 53' N which held its inaugural meeting in 1931. It was run as an independent flapping track through its history, and was successful for over 40 years before closing in November 1973.

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
