never knew the East stand was near on 80 years The roof was built to last unlike Sts new ground

I cant believe all those people fitted into Belle Vue!!

WOW

What did you expect? It was Hull KR.
Millions will have been waiting outside without a ticket.

some nice highlights of us winning cup in 60 and 62 also

got the three oldies oldies 1960/62/63 cup wins on dvd, classics

the Wigan game was the best as we wasn't expected to win

Great find that, thanks for sharing!


at the voice over and all the suits in the crowd! How things have changed eh?

Just seen the one with the Queen on, it just shows what a great job they have done with the shirt this season it's a pretty good copy even down to the shape of the badge! What was the badge like back then?

Hey Snowie, how did you get those DVD's? I love looking at this stuff when we were the best, although much before my time.

I love the Pathe commentary at the end of the Cup Final v Hull which says "Bravo Wakefield Trinity!"



Bring back those rattlers I say.

Snowie was at many of those games!!!!!!!!!!!

Cracking stuff ! If only............

looks better all them years ago then it does now its hard to believe how fare we have as a club let things reach the bottom off the barrel the state facility's are in now are in very poor condition to say were suppose to be a city club . lets hope for better facility's in the future but i wont believe it till they actually start building. Planning permission means nothing if we get it look at cas .

"But look at Wakefield, playing superb textbook rugby!"

Ah, if only...

Christ, that's pessimistic even for this board

I was lucky and grew up in that era.
Was a young teenager and attended all three cup final wins , the final loss to Leeds in 68 and the championship final triumphs in 67 n 68 or were they 66 n 67 ? memory not what it was.

Won the Championship in 1967 beating St. Helens (21-7 I think) at Station Road, Swinton in a replay after a 7-7 draw at Headingley and in 1968 beating Hull KR 17-10 at Headingley.

I know because I was there

It's a flash site so won't work on my iPhone

dare I sat it ebay

also got the widnes and leeds defeats

behave I was just born then

Wonder what the attendance was in the 1925 game ! not much health and safety there with folk supporters on 2 sides of the ground sat directly on the side of the pitch.
Oh the good old days....................

I have just seen the photo in wakefield Express of the Trinity & wigan teams of 1947. This was the first match that I Went to , been supporting them ever since
Ah for the good old days of rugby

Surrounding buildings are more or less still there, spooky.

if you follow the link and watch the finals at wembley will see camera men encroach onto the pitch to get better photos, infact I'm sure one of Trinity tries could of got under the sticks but due to the imbecile getting in the way foxy had to convert it from 5 yrds in from the touch line
