By the late 1980s , time had taken its toll on Craven Park stadium , following the Bradford City stadium fire , capacity was restricted and the cost of safety work spiraled . Major renovations were needed to bring it up to scratch . Large amounts of money were spent on the ground each year repairing sections but once one section was repaired another would fall into disrepair . In 1988/89 , their last full season at Craven Park , Rovers were relegated to the 2nd Division and Millward decided to stand down as coach . Wright Properties Ltd purchased Craven Park from the club and the final game was played there on 9 April 1989
