Blantyre Greyhound Stadium
Former Greyhound racing and motorcycle speedway venue
Blantyre Greyhound Stadium also known as Craighead Park was a greyhound racing and speedway stadium in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, near Glasgow.[1]
The track opened on 6 October 1933 as an independent (unlicensed) track and was popular with the miners from the pit well and Whistleberry colliery.[2] The track was owned by Frank Doonin and it also hosted the Glasgow Tigers from 1977-1981. It closed on 22 April 1982 and the site was redeveloped to incorporate the new A725 road (linking the town to the M74 motorway).[3]
