Hartlepool Stadium
It is not to be confused with Victoria Park (Hartlepool) which was adjacent to the stadium in Clarence Road.[2] After the cricket team vacated the ground it was converted into a football stadium on the south side of Victoria Park (Hartlepool) which was the home of West Hartlepool R.F.C.[4] The first meeting was held on 14 September 1938 drawing an attendance of 4,000 and the first winner was a greyhound called Arran Beg.There was a covered stand, a restaurant, 35 kennels and an 'Inside Sumner' hare system was used.[8] Greyhound racing continued to be promoted by the HGRC until 1999 when the stadium closed.
