Darnall Stadium
The site chosen was the Wellington Grounds which was partly surrounded by garden allotments at the time of the greyhound track construction.Directly to the north was a metal wire rope works and railway line and to the east was another large collection of allotments that would eventually be converted into the Parkway market.There were over 100 bookmakers and between 5-6 thousand spectators who witnessed a greyhound called Mission win the first ever race at 3-1 odds finishing two lengths clear of the field.AGR Ltd opened a second track called the Burnley Greyhound Stadium in September 1927 and also secured the lease at Craven Park, Hull before going bankrupt during 1931.Additional rest kennels with a head trainer were situated 12 miles from the track at Loyal Trooper Farm, South Anston.
