Wisbech Greyhound Stadium Wisbech Greyhound Stadium The Wisbech Greyhound Stadium is a former greyhound racing venue near Wisbech. Wisbech is a market town in The Fens of Cambridgeshire, England. The area had strong coursing ties. The oval form of greyhound racing began to appear in this part of the country not long after the introduction of track racing in 1926 that gripped London and major cities around the country. Norwich to the east would experience four tracks; The Firs Stadium, Boundary Park Stadium, Thorpe Greyhound Track and the City Stadium, Norwich in the following years. The Wisbech track was a small circuit situated
Wisbech Long Sutton (A1101). The A47 now bypasses the town. Wisbech once had three railway lines, but they all closed between 1959 and 1968: There were also harbour quay lines either side of the River Nene – M&GN Harbour West branch and GER Harbour East branch. There is an active campaign to reopen the March–Wisbech line as part of the national rail network, with direct services to Cambridge and possibly Peterborough. A report published in 2009 by the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) indicated that this was viable. It is supported by Wisbech Town Council and subject to reports commissioned
