Hull KR hail new training ground

Justin Morgan is delighted with the new training ground

Hull KR have moved into a new training ground in the east of the city as they prepare for the new season.

Rovers have taken out a lease on the BP Chemicals Sports Ground at Saltend and the facility will have new training pitches, eating facilities and gym.

"To have everything in one place helps with the non-footy things like the team morale and so on," Robins coach Justin Morgan told BBC Radio Humberside.

"We're confident moving into this venue will help us with our preparation."

Everybody, including some of the players that have been at some big clubs, has said this is a great facility Hull KR coach Justin Morgan

The ground will continue to be the match venue for Skirlaugh ARLFC, who play in the Premier Division of the Amateur National Conference.

"Everybody - including some of the players that have been at some of the big clubs in this country and in the NRL in Australia - has said this is a great facility and, if it gets glowing remarks from some of the people that use it, then you know you're a winner," said Morgan.

"There's some fine tuning to be done but it's important to have a home because we spend a lot of time together and to have a workplace that's enjoyable certainly makes your job a lot easier."
