MOTHERWELL (THE STADIUM) 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 Scottish town of Motherwell has had a couple of greyhound tracks in the past, the last to open being at The Stadium on Milton Street and situated at 3° 59' W 55° 47' N. The independently run track opened for business on 15th October 1949 and remained open for over 20 years.

It finally closed its gates in 1972.

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
