Defender1 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Your right about Reckitts best sports ground in Hull in its day all finals were played there, County Road would have been good for Wyke with the old Ideal clubhouse but now Hull FC have it bit of a waste really there is never anyone on it. i was told part of the deal to build on Reckitts was to have a sports pitch Lambwath were going to move there not sure where that went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henage Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I will have a wild guess , rent maybe a little steep for amateur sports teams , land banked for the builder . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henage Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Really , sports ground makes way for multi million pound housing development (estate) . One rugby pitch and one football pitch , thats a fantastic outcome . Thats not taking into account the loss of another open space , within the city boundary .

Could have been worse, no clause no Rugby and Football pitch not many projects build sports facilities and don’t forget the state it got in when Reckitts pulled away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henage Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Could have been , no doubt about it . Hull City Planning Department could have put pressure on Hull Brewery who owned the land (not 100% on that ) to keep on top of the facility . Why should they as the owners only ever wanted one outcome for the site . To call it Planning is a big joke , nothing is planned with any joined up thinking . Mr Reckitt would turn in his grave if he could see the facilities now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of difference Myton share this with Marist RU they also get no revenue from the bar but recently they did a raffle £10k was the donated prize off the RU, Marist RU have one Team and no youth, Myton are happy to raffle a donated bottle of wine. Beverley play from a council park pitch and go back to a pub Hull Wyke have just had some lottery funding their pitch is council owned but the club house theirs I have not visited as I don’t think finished Cottingham have decent facilities but share with Football and Cricket not sure who is the land lord funny since the demise of Winter Rugby they have youth but no open age NHK, Three Tuns, Lambwath, Brownies, Reckitts about all that is left of the Hull teams not mentioned above all play on council owned pitches and go back to a pub During my travels all areas Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire even if not theirs they advertise as if their own, for instance Lock Lane, Hunslet Parkside play from a sports centre but seem to have taken them over with advertising their own brand In the area Hullensians, Ionians, Hornsea, Bridlington, Driffield, Malton, Hessle, Goole RU all have their own facilities When I first played in the Hull league a few teams never even had a pub to go back to, we used to take them back to Rayners on Hessle Road, the landlord used to be the landlord of the pub we played out of in Moorends.
