Boothferry Park

Boothferry Park was first planned in 1929, with work beginning in 1932 near the Humber Estuary. Financial difficulties severely hampered development, and the onset of the Second World War further delayed the project, as the ground was used by the Home Guard and for tank repairs, leaving the pitch in very poor condition. The ground finally opened in August 1946 with a match against Lincoln City, 17 years after its initial proposal. The record attendance of 55,019 was set on 26 February 1949 for an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United, a record that still stands as Hull City's highest home attendance. The stadium hosted England youth internationals and a senior international between Northern Ireland and Spain in 1972. In the 1990s, when Hull City was struggling financially, supermarkets Iceland and Kwik Save opened stores within the ground's structure. Hull City moved to the KC Stadium (now MKM Stadium) midway through the 2002-03 season, and Boothferry Park was demolished between 2008 and 2011.

Boothferry Park's record attendance of 55,019 was set on 26 February 1949 for an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United, and remains Hull City's highest-ever home attendance. The ground was originally planned in 1929 but didn't open until 1946, 17 years later, due to financial difficulties and the Second World War. During the war, the ground was used by the Home Guard and for repairing tanks, which left the pitch in very poor condition. In the 1990s, when Hull City was struggling financially, supermarkets Iceland and Kwik Save opened stores inside the stadium structure. The ground hosted a senior international between Northern Ireland and Spain in 1972. After Hull City moved to the KC Stadium in 2002, the stadium stood largely unused before demolition began in 2008 and was completed in 2011. The site is now residential housing.
