[1][2] The track was first used in 1928, when the Nottingham Tornado Motorcycle Club put in a grass track but plans for greyhound racing had been discussed in early 1927 and the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA) ensured that they had a financial interest in the stadium.
[3] In 1929, a dirt track was laid down by the Olympic Speedway Ltd over the grass track and the stadium was known as the Olympic Grounds and open matches were held.
During the 1931 season the team had completed 20 fixtures before they withdrew form the league.
[4][5] In 1933, White City (Nottingham) Ltd constructed a new stadium known as the White City Stadium which included a new greyhound track and speedway circuit, replacing the original Olympic Grounds.
[9][10] In 1938 the Provincial League became the National League Division Two; Nottingham started the season but withdrew after the final meeting to be held at Nottingham on 31 May 1938, with Leeds taking over the team's remaining fixtures.
