The Horton Road Stadium was a football and greyhound racing stadium situated in Gloucester, England.
The site chosen for the construction of the stadium was on the east side of the Horton Road on allotment gardens. The Horton Road Hospital was opposite on the east side of Horton Road and there was a gasholder station situated on the south west side of the stadium.[1]
Opening
The stadium opened in c.1964 and Gloucester City A.F.C. moved into the stadium from their ground at Longlevens (not to be confused with the greyhound stadium opposite). The Longlevens football ground was redeveloped for housing.[2]
