BRIDGEND 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 greyhound track in the South-Wales town of Bridgend was situated on Tondu Road and first held racing in 1929. The ground was the former home of the local rugby team, and racing continued at the track until 1935.

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
