Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (This venue's match data (two fixtures, 1983-1984, crowds up to 2,107) could not be independently confirmed against Rugby League Project's own results pages despite repeated attempts, and rests here on a secondary Wikipedia summary only. Note also that this Maidstone, Kent ground is unrelated to the much better-known London Road Stadium in Peterborough (home of Peterborough United F.C.); the correct Wikipedia reference for this Kent venue is its article under the name Athletic Ground, Maidstone, not any Peterborough source.) |
