Seated Wow Hydrate East Stand extension confirmed for the 2025 season

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!

On behalf of the players, staff and board of directors, I’d like to thank supporters for their incredible support at home and on the road throughout 2024. The noise and passion you have brought has made Sewell Group Craven Park the place to be on a Friday night and we are all looking forward to a big atmosphere at home against Leeds and in the playoffs.”

2024 full-season members who wish to relocate to the new Wow Hydrate East Stand seats will be given first priority from 12pm on Monday 16th September. Current members wishing to move into the new stand should email membership@hullkr.co.uk and a member of the team will be in touch.

With a host of stadium developments taking place, and new signings on the way including NRL superstar Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, the Robins are ready to fly in 2025! Full membership details will be announced soon so keep an eye out on the club's website and social channels.
