MEXBOROUGH 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 South Yorkshire town of Mexborough, on the River Don and a short distance from Doncaster, had a greyhound track located on Sedgefield Way and situated at 1° 16' W 53° 30' N. The Stadium was quaintly called the Dog Daisy Stadium and was independently run. It operated for a number of years before closing its gates for the final time in 1965.

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
