The stadium itself is a bit outdated but has everything you need for an evening out at the speedway or Greyhound racing. The staff were friendly, the food pretty basic but was nice enough and the bar prices not too bad. All in all we had a great night out and that's all you want really

Went to the speedway. Glasgow Tigers vs Oxford Cheetahs. There is a distinct smell of the engine, due to their fuel. Speedway bikes have no brakes hence the slides round. The ground is basic but good views. There is an indoor seated space with hospitality. Lots of food drink outlets, burger n chips. All parking is at the Unipart conference centre, about 6 mins walk from ground. Book parking on your ticket, it’s free and no one checks, but just in case.

Went on Friday as a group of 7.
Enjoyed the racing, dogs looked well cared for during the evening.
The inside seating area was clean as was the bar and food area as far the eye could see.
Good was nice(basic) I had chips with curry sauce and could definitely have shared the portion, and a sausage roll which was large as well.
I'm our group we also had cheesy chips, hot dogs and burgers and no complaints from anyone.

The only issue I had the whole night was the ladies toilets. They did smell (which I believe was a drain issue) but they also needed a good scrub. Probably could do with a refit but no excuses for them to be unclean.

Took my mum as she loves speedway and this was the nearest one I could find. We parked at Unipart then jumped on the shuttle. Good bar area and little take away food place which I wish id known about before. Races were all well organized and we had a fabulous time. Would definitely go again
