GROUND HISTORY adapted from "The Ultimate Directory of English & Scottish Football League Grounds" |
|
Originally known as the Hull Athletic Ground, this Rugby League venue originally consisted of a covered grandstand on the north east side of an elongated oval arena. By the time that Hull City FC played their games here, a cycle track had been added, open seating installed at the north west end and alongside the grandstand and a covering built over the standing area on the south west side.
The venue remained in use as the home ground for Hull RLFC until September 20th, 2002 when the final match, v. Bradford Bulls, was played here prior to the club moving to the Kingston Communications Stadium to groundshare with Hull City FC. The Boulevard Ground was retained by Kingston upon Hull City Council for junior and youth RFL matches and, during 2003 it was also proposed to stage greyhound racing here.
