The Visit :
The area is surrounded with big parking which is open for public. It is very easy to get near the entrance of the stadium, but its a trap, there are lots of hidden cameras over there and also security guy lives next to entrance!! i was half way climbing the entrance that i heard some lots of key noises and try to open one of the doors near the entrance. i get down from there and wait until the little overweight guy come to me and i ask him is it possible that i took some pictures . he let me in for 2 minutes and he was standing next to me to make sure i leave the property . but he was very nice guy but not very in the mood for chat !!! on the way back of the inside the stadium i saw lots of hidden cameras inside entrance area. so if you enter from front you definitely gonna caught by cameras.
this is my first report so i hop its not that bad !
History :
Racing was first held on 19 May 1928. The site had been purchased by South London Greyhound Racecourses Ltd who then experienced financial difficulties. W J Cearns, owner of the building firm, put in a large sum of money to help get the stadium up and running. Wimbledon became one of the major tracks of Britain after a new grandstand was constructed to replace the war damaged section of the stadium. The local professional football team AFC Wimbledon has considered a move here, after the stadium was put up for sale in 2007. However, such a move would necessitate rebuilding the stadium. Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium is currently owned by Galliard Homes Limited, who purchased the site from the Greyhound Racing Association.
