Woodhouse Lane Stadium
The stadium was constructed and opened in 1928, in only the second year of oval track greyhound racing in the United Kingdom.It was built on open farmland next door to the Springfield Park football ground.Shortly after Borough went out of business and a new club, Wigan Athletic F.C., was formed and continued to play their home games at Springfield Park.After lengthy negotiations, Wigan Athletic purchased the ground from the owners of the Woodhouse Lane Stadium for £2,800 with the proviso that greyhound racing never take place at Springfield Park.[6] The final meeting took place during April 1961 and became an athletics arena.
