Abstract
White City Stadium was a major sporting facility located near to Bellahouston Park on the North side of Paisley Road and east of Helen Street, not far from Ibrox Stadium, home of Rangers. The stadium closed for speedway in 1968 and was later demolished in 1972 to make way for the M8 motorway and subsequently the large police station at Govan. The Stadium was predominantly used for greyhound racing and speedway, although the surviving evidence on film also reveals other uses, such as show jumping.
