Maximum points for the jungle ?

yeh that 400k a year img are getting paid is well spent !

I find it interesting as soon as you set a "standard", stadium improvements get planned

It happenned in the NSWRL in the 1970s

And something similar should occur today

Worked the opposite in a way

many rugby league clubs owned their own ground in England

then after the valley parade fire ? New standards came in to upgrade grounds and many rugby league clubs couldn’t afford this and lost their home grounds

Blackpool and swinton for example

Huge difference though between the safety regulations brought in after valley parade and Hillsborough, and what IMG is trying to get them to do which is very achievable for all clubs who want to be in SL. Its clear licensing has finally got clubs to invest in their stadiums (those that needed to) and that can only be a good thing in the long run.

HKR to build a memorial garden for fans as part of the campus development.

Hull KR are delighted to team up with the Patt Foundation to work on a Memorial Garden project, as announced at last season's End of Season Awards Evening.

Now that work has started on the community-led 3G pitch, planning for the project is underway, and further details will be confirmed soon. Supporters can visit hullkr.co.uk/memorialgarden to register their interest and receive further information as its released.

Everyone at Sewell Group Craven Park knows this is the home of cherished memories, and precious time spent with family and friends.

We are therefore proud to offer our fans the Memorial Garden, providing a fitting final resting place.

Each plot within the garden will see a tree planted, along with the installation of a name plaque, providing a permanent location to intern ashes, or create a lasting legacy to a loved one.

Details of plot locations, prices and further information will be confirmed soon. Supporters will be able to either purchase plots for loved ones no longer with us, or purchase plots for themselves to reserve a final resting place for their ashes.

The project is not only a great, eco-friendly and cheaper alternative to many other internment options, but allows supporters to be spiritually with us for every home game, overlooking the club they love.

Further details will be confirmed soon, supporters are reminded to register their details to receive priority on further information and plot releases at hullkr.co.uk/memorialgarden.

BRADFORD Bulls CEO Jason Hirst insists the building of a bar behind the main stand at Odsal, along with extending the broadcast gantry and adding a big screen, will take their IMG score beyond 13.
Theoretically, that shoots them right up into Super League contention, given the initial gradings only had nine sides above that lucky 13.

But as general manager Tracey Erby conceded at Monday night’s fans’ forum, Bradford have no idea how much the scores of their rivals have improved over last nine months, meaning their jump could be dwarfed by others.
Both Wakefield and Castleford received an indicative grading slightly higher than Bulls last October, but both have already made significant upgrades to their stadiums.

Regardless, Hirst still believes Bradford will be in Super League “sooner rather than later” with the improvements they are making at the club.

And that could be as the leaseholders of Odsal, with the CEO confirming Bulls remain “an optimistic live runner” in the bidding process.
Giving an update on the leasehold, he said: “It’s an ongoing process and we’re in regular dialogue with Knight Frank (the property consultancy firm who have been hired to sell Odsal).

“We remain a live runner and we’re optimistic we’ve got a good chance of getting the lease, but we can’t say It’s definitely going to happen.

“I’m told the process is coming to a close, and I expect we’ll have a decision in the next month or two.”


Hirst was also asked what Bulls’ next steps would be if the leasehold was sold to another buyer.

He said: “If we weren’t to get it, we are protected, because there’s a stipulation in the document that rugby league in Bradford must be protected by whoever gets the lease, so I fully expect us to still play here at Odsal regardless.

“We’d have to see how any new landlord interacted and communicated with us, but it should be business as usual when it comes to playing here.

“If we were to get the lease, it puts us in a better place, as we’ve have more control over our own destiny and what we can do with the stadium.

“But we would have to get into dialogue with the council, as we’re not millionaires, and can’t get a £50million stadium just like that.

“We’d need help from the public and private sector, if we were to do what we want with Odsal.

“Whether we get the lease or not, there’ll be an announcement about it, but we want to deal in facts, so please just trust us to be patient.”

Bulls’ stadium score in the indicative grading last October was less than one out of the three points on offer, badly hampering their overall ranking.

But a positive Hirst said: “We’re expecting planning permission through imminently for the pavilion bar we’re building behind the main stand, so that’d be an extra point for us on IMG.

“We’re also keen to extend the TV gantry, which would boost our score.


“There’s also the obvious one of the LED scoreboard, which we had for the Wakefield 1895 Cup game.

“That will return for the next Wakefield game on July 14, and while it’s on a hire basis for now, we hope to purchase one of our own soon.”

Hull KR are pleased to announce a new 1,000-seater Wow Hydrate East Stand extension ahead of the 2025 season.

The stand, which will be in place for the 2025 and 2026 season subject to a successful planning permission decision, will be installed in January, complete with red seats and a roof which covers the back two thirds of the stand. As part of the plans, an improved disabled viewing area will be in place, along with a new, improved and bigger Craven Streat fan zone.

Demand for matchdays at Sewell Group Craven Park continues to soar, with memberships and attendances at an all time high for the club.

11 of 13 home games have sold out in the 2024 season, so demand is expected to be high for the new area, with the club selling almost 1,000 tickets for the temporary South Stand which has been installed for the Leeds game in just 24 hours.

Paul Lakin, Chief Executive of Hull KR said:

“Huge demand for games has been a good problem to have. Big games have been selling out weeks in advance, so we are confident there is strong appetite for this new East Stand block.

We have been working with the Hull City Council Safety Advisory Group to ensure the plans not only allow us to increase the capacity, but enable future permanent developments, and make sure we can still run 25,000 capacity concerts. We are therefore confident with our due diligence that planning permission will be granted.

As part of the plans, we are also excited to announce plans to improve the hugely popular Craven Streat fan zone to make it bigger and better than ever!

Probably a good idea if he can fund it properly. a 12k stadium like Warringtons would suit them much better. Its a shame the good folk of 'uddersfield havent embraced the Giants and the facilities they were gifted.

It’s never been a rugby city

it’s a place a few actual rugby clubs decided to meet to start their own league

If they got booted they wouldn’t be missed

the money Ken Davy puts in to cover losses would fund a new stadium over time

OLDHAM chairman Bill Quinn says the completion of a ten-year agreement to stay at Boundary Park is a major milestone for the ambitious League One club with a Super League spot in their long-term sights.

The Roughyeds, last year taken over by new owners spearheaded by former player and coach Mike Ford, have groundshared with the town’s National League (fifth tier) football club Oldham Athletic since the start of this season.

The Roughyeds, last year taken over by new owners spearheaded by former player and coach Mike Ford, have groundshared with the town’s National League (fifth tier) football club Oldham Athletic since the start of this season.

The stadium holds 13,500 and has a state-of-the-art pitch recently laid at a cost of £1 million.

Quinn said: “This agreement is probably one of the most important things for the future of this Rugby League club.

“To grow the club and to reach our goals, without the Rothwells and without Boundary Park, is almost impossible.”

Latics chief executive Darren Royle called the deal “a huge agreement” which was enabled by the stable ownerships of both clubs.
