White City Stadium (Newcastle)

White City Stadium (Newcastle) was a greyhound racing and speedway stadium located in Scotswood, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It should not be confused with the more famous White City Stadium in London.

The stadium opened in 1928 primarily for greyhound racing. It also hosted speedway events for a significant period. Details regarding its exact dimensions, track specifications, and attendance figures are limited in publicly available documentation, although it was a popular local venue.

The stadium's operation continued for several decades, eventually ceasing racing and speedway activities. The exact date of closure is often cited as 1990, although some sources claim a closure slightly earlier. Following its closure, the stadium was demolished, and the land was redeveloped for other purposes. Today, no trace of the stadium remains.

The White City Stadium (Newcastle) played a significant role in the local community, providing entertainment and sporting opportunities for residents of Newcastle and the surrounding area. However, unlike its London namesake, it has not achieved the same level of historical recognition. Historical records about the stadium are sparse and often rely on anecdotal evidence and local newspaper archives.
