Greyhound stadium's days numbered as bulldozers beckon
Birmingham Post
|July 10, 2025
IT’S as familiar to Brummies as the Aston Expressway or the Bullring.
-
But the landmark Perry Barr greyhound stadium is set to be razed to the ground.
‘The stadium's shabby appearance , belies a rich history in both greyhound racing and speedway - a heritage that will be lost to Birmingham when it shuts next month.
Dog racing will move to Wolverhampton but the Birmingham Brummies speedway team, founded way back in 1928, will be no more.
‘The site will be redeveloped for housing, mirroring the fate that befell Birmingham’s other dog track at Hall Green. It closed in 2017 after 90 years.
