Thanet Road
York, North Yorkshire, England
Thanet Road, York, England — opened 1990, 7 rugby league games hosted, home of York Acorn A.R.L.F.C..
Sourcing caveat: Rugby League Project's own team page lists York Acorn's home venue inconsistently across seasons as both 'Thanet Road' and 'Acorn Sports & Social Club' — the same Acomb, York address per Wikipedia, so this most likely reflects an inconsistency in RLP's own venue indexing rather than two different grounds.
