A new rugby league hub with a 900-seat stand is set to be built in Beswick. The learning and training facility off Grey Mare Lane is the first of its kind which the Rugby Football League (RFL) is creating in the North of England.
The OuRLeague Life hubs will offer education and employability courses as well as professional development education programmes within the sport. The rugby pitch which is already located at the site opposite East Manchester Leisure Centre will be used as a training facility with a new 900-seat spectator stand to be built alongside changing rooms, six floodlights and classrooms.
The former Beswick Local Shops will also be demolished as part of the plans. The East Manchester hub which now has planning permission will be used by elite and community players alike, as well as young people who live in the area.
