| MERTHYR TYDFIL 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 greyhound track in the Welsh town of Merthyr Tydfil was built around the perimeter of the local football team on Penydarren Road at 3° 22' W 51° 45' N. It was run as an independent flapping track throughout its history. The track opened in the early 1930s and regularly raced twice a week on Thursday and Saturday evening. |

| They closed their gates to racing for the final time in the early 1960s. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
| 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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
