ROCHDALE 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 Athletics Ground was first used for greyhound racing in 1932, after speedway had held its first meeting. That greyhound meeting took place on 18th June of that year and was to remain at the venue for a further 37 years.

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
