Plans have been submitted for a £5m banqueting suite at Sheffield’s Owlerton Greyhound Stadium, which could create up to 200 jobs.Work is set to start on the 500-capacity banqueting suite in early June 2018 and it is expected to open by Easter 2019. Sheffield-based WMA Architects have been commissioned for the project.The investment by stadium owners A&S Leisure Group Ltd is part of a wider company restructuring, with a new casino also set to be built in Manchester at the China Town end of Portland Street.The group A&S Leisure Group recently closed Napoleons casino on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield and also sold the Napoleons Casino in Leicester Square, London.
