Old Craven Park was a stadium in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was the home of Hull Kingston Rovers rugby league club between 1922 and 1989. Hull KR moved to Craven Park from their cramped Craven Street ground in 1922. The club purchased and developed a site behind the tram and bus depot on the eastern end of Holderness Road and it hosted its first game on 2 September 1922. The ground staged Great Britain Test matches in 1926 (a 21–11 win against New Zealand) and in 1929 (an 8–31 loss to Australia). Craven Park also hosted greyhound racing. Hull Kingston Rovers sold the ground to the Greyhound Racing Company in 1930s due to financial difficulties, securing a long term lease to continue playing there. In the early 1970s Hull Kingston Rovers purchased a site at Winchester Avenue with the aim of building a new stadium there. These plans never came to fruition and the site was later sold to a private developer. The profit made from this land was used to buy back Craven Park with greyhound racing continuing as a subsidiary concern. Following the Bradford City stadium fire, capacity was restricted and costs of safety work spiraled. With the club in debt the ground was sold to developers and the final game was played there on 9 April 1989. The ground was demolished and a supermarket was built on the land originally belonging to originally called ??? then Co-op, it is now occupied by Morrisons. ==Structure== The old Craven Park had an East Stand standing area, near the tram and bus depot, and seating opposite in the Main Stand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Old Craven Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
