White City Stadium (Newcastle)

White City Stadium (Newcastle) was a greyhound racing, near Scotswood Bridge in Blaydon on Tyne, County Durham.

The main stand on the home straight featured a 300 feet wide 'Senior Club' upstairs with three bar lounges and glass fronted viewing above the tote hall and offices.

[6] In 1939, a controlling interest of the stadium was acquired by Major J. Scarvell Cape, representing the Greyhound Racing Association (Newcastle) Ltd and Julius Totalisators.

[10] Despite excellent facilities and a profitable business problems arose after the war, the totalisator turnover was a healthy £1,106,242 in 1946 at its peak, lowering to £606,005 one year later.

The government policy continued to make matters difficult for greyhound racing totalisators with close scrutiny and restrictions of gambling still considered in the interests of the general public.
