In the early 1970s Hull Kingston Rovers purchased a site at Winchester Avenue with the aim of building a new stadium there . These plans never came to fruition and the site was later sold to a private developer . The profit made from this land was used to buy back Craven Park with greyhound racing continuing as a subsidiary concern . Following the Bradford City stadium fire , capacity was restricted and costs of safety work spiraled . With the club in debt the ground was sold to developers and the final game was played there on 9 April 1989
