POOLE 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 the scans of badges on this page.

 
Greyhound racing first took place in Poole in May 1961 when the track was purchased by a father and son called Charles and Chris Knott, the latter was a famous England Cricketer.

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
