Notes
Originally a football ground, Shawfield was home to Clyde FC from 1898 to 1986. Greyhound racing was introduced in 1932, and the Glasgow Tigers speedway team were also based there, It also held athletics meetings and boxing matches.
Opened in 1989 and closed in 2020.
In July 2023, a request was submitted to Historic Environment Scotland to have the site assessed as a potential listed building due to its significance. In October of that year, regeneration plans were unveiled for the redevelopment of the site, involving the demolition of the stadium and its replacement with a mixed use development including housing and retail. In April 2024, the historical assessment returned a verdict not to designate the stadium, although it met the criteria for Category B listing, "because the site is subject of advanced development proposals".
