ROTHERHAM MILLMOOR 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 South Yorkshire town of Rotherham had at least 3 greyhound tracks in the past, the one off Millmoor Lane being built around the perimeter of the local Football League Club. It was situated at 1° 22' W 53° 25' N and operated as an independent flapping track. It held its opening meeting on 11th May 1931 but lasted barely two years. It closed for the final time on 29thJuly 1933. |
The stadium can still be seen today but is no longer in use. |
I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
