Hall Road Rangers were formed in late 1959 by the late Ted Richardson to satisfy a number of football hungry 13 year old schoolboys. The club at this time had no ball, no kit and no ground and had to be content with away friendly games which they duly lost by large scores. The next season saw them wearing the now familiar blue and white hoops and, having rented a new ground on Inglemire Lane, they entered the Hull Boys Sunday Football League. The ground was terrible for holding water and the players had to report two hours before kick off to act as a chain gang to bale the water before any game could take place. The first five league games saw the same pattern of defeats but the patience and coaching was beginning to show itself and they went the rest of the season without defeat, finishing runners-up in the league and winning the Intermediate Challenge Cup.  
Dene Park is the home of Hall Road Rangers Football Club. With a capacity of 1,200 the ground is perfect for the North East Counties League of football and has the superb Ted Richardson Stand behind the goal at the clubhouse end of the ground. Admission to the ground is via the turnstile at the Ted Richardson Stand end and there is car parking to both the front and rear of the clubhouse. The clubhouse itself is open all week for snacks and drinks and has Snooker, Pool and Darts facilities. |
