Humbug Park also previously known as Crossgates Greyhound Stadium is a football ground and former greyhound racing track on Inverkeithing Road in Crossgates, Fife, Scotland.[1]
The name Humbug Park derives from a disused pit of the former Cuttlehill Colliery on which the ground is located.[2]
The ground is the home to Crossgates Primrose, a Scottish football club who play in the East of Scotland League.
Plans for a greyhound track were instigated in 1936 by the secretary of the football club. The racing distance was 275 yards and the racing took place regularly between 1937 until 1953. The track was independent (unlicensed) and took place on Friday and Saturday evenings and had a large mining community following.[3]
