For the life of me, I don't know why there isn't greyhound racing at Derry matches. Have a couple of races before the match, couple at half time. It'd be a bit of banter for the fans, and the greyhound people would generate interest in the races on other nights of the week.

I hate running tracks, greyhound tracks at grounds, kills the atmosphere stone dead.

The "home" of Junior Football in Waterford is Ozier Park. I imagine that's where you're thinking of. Don't remember Waterford ever playing there but I'm sure they must have played the odd game there. It was never a Greyhound Stadium.

Connacht rugby had a rugby/greyhound double header night once. Not sure it was much of a success.

No. I used to see the odd game there about twenty years ago. It was always a greyhound track as far as I know.

Thats the one, i think they had to play their games there for a while towards the end of a season, or something like that anyway.

At the game in Tolka last night, there was an announcement about an event to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of Shelbourne's first game in Shelbourne Park, I didn't catch the detail.

It's a fundraiser at the Greyhounds.

Wembley? - shared with greyhound racing and speedway ( but not a club team AFAIK)
