Bring back hilton park for me!

Will really miss BV when after 2011. It's hard to imagine not going there to watch home games.
The last game will be an emotional one. Would be nice to get Cas, or better Leeds, Beating the Rhino's would be the best sign off for BV.

Thay should apply for a capacity increase for it, give it a nice send off. Its a 'proper rl ground' like hilton park, central park and naughton park were. Whats capacity now?

Cougar Park, Wheldon Road for being close to the action plus any other ground where you are not forced to sit and can change ends at half time!

11000 is the capacity at Belle Vue, new stadium will be 12000 or 15000 if they do the corners

Here , here. I can't stand these plastic bowls, with no atmosphere.

If we get the new ground I will miss all those that whinge about getting wet at BV,especially those from Leeds,Bradford,Saints,Cas, and Kr. Salford not included they like Wakey dont moan, they just get on with it.

6 people say BV is their favourite ground.



edit: 8?! wtf..

When we left the Boulevard, we had the touring New Zealand side play us in the last game, was a brilliant night, especially seeing the side take the haka around the stands after the game. Was a brilliant way to say goodbye to the old place.

One way or another we are out of BV after next season. We sold the ground about 18 months ago.
If all goes to plan we will be in The Wakefield Community Stadium by Feb 2012, If that goes pear shaped we wont get a franchise, which would probably mean being wound up, in which case we would need neither stadium.
Either way we have a very limited time at BV.
RL fans say your goodbyes to one of the last great traditional RL stadiums while you still can, this is the penultimate year.

Willows for me.

Just edging The Jungle.

I love the Willows' club bar and lovely high-stepped terracing. And both the Jungle and Willows offer undercover protection for away fans unlike the so-called wonder-ground Headingley where, frankly, away fans are desperately shortchanged.

Will be stood today with Leeds fans "side by side" enjoying the game, players thundering past no more than 6 feet away, you can feel the hits on players, the smell of wintergreen and sweat, not 30 yards back like some grounds.

Old places like Wakey and Cas will soon be long gone and the we'll end up with "away ends" and we'll loose all the banter at games and no longer "feel the game" on the pitch.

Having said that i voted for the KC, the best of the new stadiums IMO.

I voted for the Jungle, similar to BV, but you can get a much better atmosphere going there. Agree that places like JJB and KC look great on telly, and are more comfortable to watch the game in, its just not the same.

I have fond memories of Hilton Park, Park the Pig on the Hovercraft and just the old ground itself, also Cougar Park many years ago.

The Stoop for me

"The Jungle" ugh

, it will always be "Wheldon Road" to most Cas fans.

Gone for the Stoop .
Not just because it is a half-decent stadium , but because trips down there are the best away days by far .
The locals are friendly , and it is only a short walk to Richmond and all that it offers .

Hopefully everything will go to plan, I was just being a bit over cautious

BV is a terrible ground

That may be true but it's seen more success than most RL stadiums in it's time.
And been graced by some of the all time legends.

If it's good enough for The King Wally Lewis, then it's good enough for me!
FWIW I think we should invite "The King" to open the new ground!- Imagine that photo hanging on your wall TRB!

(I hope you don't have to google Wally Lewis!!)

Why?

Your chances of getting Wally down to wakefield again are VERY slim


It's just dumpy and it lacks atmosphere, if we're talking old grounds the Jungle is far superior imo
One thing BV does have though is a very nice surface, pity about the rest of it, i'd actually say its the worst ground in SL

Of course it is. Yet has far better corporate and bar facilities than WR or The Willows.
Say what you will about the Benidorm flats, they make a fair old bit of cash!

The Jungle, aways a good away day there, and cracking fans too.
