LYNSTED 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 in the village of Lynsted, on the outskirts of Sittingbourne, operated as a schooling track for the vast majority of its history. However, it did hold some race meetings in 1968, the first being held on 22nd November.

The track was run by George Macey but it only had a brief period operating as a racetrack and did not hold any further meetings after 1968.

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
