Newbridge stadium to close down

GREYHOUND followers received a shock yesterday with the news that Newbridge greyhound stadium will close to racing on Saturday week. However, it is hoped that the track could reopen in the near future if a backer can be found.

There have been rumours regarding a possible closure or change of ownership of the stadium but still the news came as a shock to many yesterday.

However, there are big hopes the franchise will yet be taken over by a group headed by Nottingham promoter and major Clonmel shareholder, Terry Corden
