Fullerton Park

[1] Fullerton Park Stadium originally known as 'The Kennels' was constructed by the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA) in 1927 and opened just three months after the Elland Road Greyhound Stadium; it was located on the opposite side (north side) of the Elland Road.

The public were able to reserve boxes in the grandstand to view the racing, an incentive used in an attempt to rival the Elland Road Greyhound Stadium which was run by the Leeds Greyhound Association Ltd (LGA).

[4] A bitter battle took place during 1927 between the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA) owners of Fullerton Park and the Leeds Greyhound Association Ltd (LGA) owners of the Elland Road track.

The LGA took the GRA to court for false advertising following the public claim by the GRA that they had sole rights of greyhounds chasing electric hares and this upset other companies because it implied that they were the only company allowed to race greyhounds.

This resulted in the closing of Fullerton Park to greyhound racing and the GRA buying a stake in the LGA.
