Hull KR have confirmed Craven Park’s capacity will rise this coming season after the club opted to introduce south stand seating for the entire campaign.<\/p>\n

Last season saw Rovers install a temporary south stand seating area behind the posts, with the extra seats brought in for the final three games of the campaign and the play-offs. That temporary stand will now be in place for the entire 2026 campaign, as first revealed earlier this week by Hull Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It means the treble winners have added an extra 1,062 seats to their capacity, allowing the club to open up season memberships once again after selling out over 10,000 full-season memberships in record time. The new capacity is thought to be a fraction over 12,000 now after the latest development of the stadium, with long-term plans in place to increase further.<\/p>\n

Hull KR<\/a> Chief Executive, Paul Lakin said: \u201cThe demand for tickets and memberships ahead of the 2026 season has been nothing short of remarkable. Selling out eight home games and surpassing 10,000 full-season members so early is a testament to the unwavering support of our fans.<\/p>\n

“Bringing back the South Stand for every Betfred Super League home fixture was a natural step for the club to ensure as many supporters as possible can be part of what promises to be another exciting season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rovers say 2026 non-ticketed members can now purchase a full-season membership in the South Stand, while members in the North Stand will be able to access Craven Streat before each game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rovers have added an extra 1,062 seats for the new season at their sold out stadium Picture by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[20372,5903,20370,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-374040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-hull-kr","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
