Ellesmere Port Stadium
The track was constructed in the late 1960s, west of the Shropshire Union Canal and east of Cow Worth Grange and Thornton Road.The greyhound racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and was known as a flapping track, which was the nickname given to independent tracks.The hare system was an 'Inside Sumner' and the track had long straights and exceptionally wide bends.[2] Race distances were changed to 265 and 470 metres before the track underwent major renovation.[4] The stadium closed in the spring of 2014 and in 2016 plans were passed to build 141 homes on the site.
