This has been the home of Reading Racers speedway since 1975 and was shared with the greyhounds up until October 2008. The owners have really let the place go towards the end, and attendances were down and towards the end greyhound trainers and owners refused to run their dogs. There is talk of a new Stadium but nothing certain. The place is pretty trashed, the pits have gone the track that the rabbit went round on has also been teared up, access pretty straightforward, but certainly nothing to write home about. Main Entrance.........
