Rochdale to play York at Featherstone

Rochdale Hornets have confirmed that their away game against Yorks City Knights will be played at Featherstone Rovers‘ Post Office Road ground.

The game kicks off on Sunday June 7, at 3pm.

A statement on the Hornets’ official website reads:

“York City Knights have no home venue following the closure of the Huntington Stadium and the failure to secure Bootham Crescent in the interim period.

“Both the RFL and Rochdale Hornets have tried to work with York City Knights to find a resolution but with no communication received from Knights officials the RFL have been forced to step in and book Featherstone Rovers for the fixture.

“At the time of writing no pricing information from York is available and we ask supporters contact the Knights with any queries. We will post any further information we receive at the earliest opportunity.”
