Acorn Sports & Social Club
York, North Yorkshire, England
Acorn Sports & Social Club, York, England — opened 1990, 7 rugby league games hosted, home of York Acorn A.R.L.F.C..
Sourcing caveat: This venue is almost certainly the same physical ground as the separately-published 'Thanet Road' entry in this directory, not a genuinely distinct site. Wikipedia states York Acorn plays 'at the Acorn Sports & Social Club on Thanet Road' in Acomb, York — i.e. one ground known by both its club-venue name and its street address. Every match recorded under both Rugby League Project entries is a York Acorn Challenge Cup home fixture, and the two entries' seasons do not overlap (this entry covers 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2020; 'Thanet Road' covers 2011, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2025) — consistent with an indexing inconsistency in Rugby League Project's own database rather than two real grounds. Kept as a separate entry here in line with Rugby League Project's own venue structure, with the likely duplication disclosed rather than merged.

Name history
Rugby league history
Almost certainly the same York Acorn A.R.L.F.C. home ground already covered under this directory's separate 'Thanet Road' entry, indexed under its club-venue name rather than its street address. Seven Challenge Cup qualifying-round matches are recorded here between 2012 and 2020, all York Acorn home fixtures; no crowd figures survive for any of them.
