Hull KR Receive Prestigious Blue Plaque from Hull Civic Society

Hull KR have been officially recognised for their remarkable 2025 treble-winning season with the unveiling of a prestigious Blue Plaque, presented by Hull Civic Society.

The commemorative plaque was unveiled on Monday, 19th January, at Sewell Group Craven Park, marking a moment of immense pride for the club, its supporters, and the wider East Hull community.

The Robins made history in 2025 by completing a historic treble — lifting the Betfred Super League trophy, the Betfred Challenge Cup, and the League Leaders’ Shield — an achievement that cemented their status as one of the most dominant sides in the modern era of rugby league.

The Blue Plaque, mounted prominently at the stadium’s entrance, commemorates not only the on-field success of the club but also the spirit, determination, and unity that have defined Hull KR’s rise in recent years.

Reflecting on the accolade, Hull KR Chief Executive, Paul Lakin, said:
“It’s a tremendous honour for the club to receive a Blue Plaque from Hull Civic Society. This recognition celebrates an unforgettable season in our history, but more than that, it’s a tribute to the collective efforts of our players, staff, supporters, and everyone involved in Hull KR.

The 2025 season will live long in the memory, and this plaque ensures its legacy lives on in the heart of East Hull.”

The club now joins a select group of institutions to receive a Blue Plaque in Hull, with the distinction serving as a lasting symbol of the Robins’ 2025 achievements and their deep-rooted place in the city’s sporting heritage.

John Scotney, Chairman of Hull Civic Society added: “Celebrating achievements that bring recognition to our city and encouragement to the morale of the community is an important part of Hull Civic Society’s philosophy.

Rugby League Football is close to the hearts of many of Hull’s citizens. We applaud the sporting skill of the team, coaches, management and fans’ support for the team, that has turned the eyes of the sporting world to Hull and, particularly, to Hull KR.

Hull Civic Society are pleased to award a much-deserved ‘Blue Plaque’ to Hull Kingston Rovers for their remarkable Treble achievement in 2025.”
