MANCHESTER (AUDENSHAW) 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 city of Manchester has had at least 3 greyhound tracks in the past and the one on the outskirts of the city at Audenshaw, between Manchester Road and Old Ashton Road, was situated at 2° 7' W 53° 28' N. It was an independently run flapping track and first opened for business on 15th March 1932. The track was also used for speedway and trotting races, but closed as a greyhound track in the mid-1930s.

The ground on which the former greyhound track once stood is now a housing estate adjacent to The Snipe Inn.

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
