[1] The stadium is owned by ARC and racing takes place every Wednesday and Friday evening as well as an additional BAGS meeting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Speedway races were held at the track from 1964 to 1974, with home teams including The Saints, The Stars and The Gladiators.

It is not to be confused with the defunct classic race, The Grand Prix, held at Walthamstow Stadium until its closure.

[5] The track included a large main glass fronted club on the home straight with ballroom attached, covered stand and clubs on the fourth bend, a covered stand on the back straight, with the racing kennels and paddock on the first bend.

At the end of 1988, businessmen and race horse owner Terry Robson and former Brough Park trainer Harry Williams took over the control of Sunderland.

[8] Ten contracted trainers were brought in, Michael Brunnock, Graham Calvert, Kevin Donnelly, George Elliott, Terry Hart, Shirley Linley, Eddie McDermott, Ken Thwaites, Malcolm Woods, and Dawn Milligan.

[10] The track was unrecognizable to the one that had existed just two years previous and ten days later open racing took place and attracted Ravage Again who was in the middle of his 29 consecutive winning streak.

[11] David Mullins and Ted Soppitt arrived as trainers in 1991 and the first ever Sunday greyhound racing fixture was held during 1992.

[13] Sunderland gained a lucrative BAGS contract before William Hill made it clear they were looking to invest into the greyhound industry influenced by the 'New Deal'.

Wilde remained as the Director of greyhound stadia following the William Hill purchase of Brough Park one year later.

[17] In 2022, the stadium owners ARC signed a long term deal with Entain for media rights, starting in January 2024.
