[1] In the late 1920s several plots of land opposite the Nottingham Corporation Sewage Works pumping station and next door to a football ground in Trent Lane were identified and acquired as a perfect site for a speedway and greyhound stadium.
[3] White City (Nottingham) Ltd constructed a new stadium, track and speedway circuit in 1933 replacing the original Olympic Grounds.
[4][5] The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Nottingham were also present during the opening night in which all proceeds were donated to the Harlow Wood Hospital and St Dunstan's Home.
[4] Apart from the 457 yard circumference greyhound track itself a main double level grandstand was built on the home straight featuring club and tote facilities.
[7] Ben Parsons had a spell as a trainer at the track, which resulted in a major open-race competition win when Cash For Dan, won the 1969 BBC Television Trophy.
[10] It ceased trading on 12 September 1970[11] but the well-known veterinary surgeon Paddy Sweeney made an attempt to take the stadium out of the hands of the developers for £125,000.
