[3][4] In 1984 Ladbrokes announced that racing would cease at the Crayford & Bexleyheath Stadium following the sale of part of the site to Sainsbury's.

[6] The press falsely claimed it was the first greyhound track to be built for 30 years because several had been constructed within the previous decade including Nottingham and Reading.

[8] In 1987 the track took possession of a major competition called the Golden Jacket which had struggled to find a new home since the demise of Harringay.

Racing manager Paul Lawrence parted company with the track in 2000, replaced by Harry Bull, with Danny Rayment promoted to deputy.

A third Grand National win by the Gemma Davidson-trained Plane Daddy, in 2010, continued Crayford's success with hurdle racing.

[13] In 2022, Entain signed a long-term deal with the Arena Racing Company for media rights, starting in January 2024.

In November 2024 Entain announced their intention to close the stadium, stating that "it is no longer viable for us to continue operating the site".
