GOSPORT 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 Hampshire Borough town of Gosport first witnessed racing in 1930 at the greyhound stadium on Forton Road situated at 1° 8' W 50° 47' N. The independently run track held its inaugural meeting in April 1930 and ran successfully for 6 years

. It closed for the final time in 1936.

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
