We said the same,I couldn't imagine another 5,000 crammed in there, but Daddycool says the figure is legit so that'll do for me.

Mate at the moment the roads are being put in unfortunately they won't be ready til next year.

Excellent topical comparison there


When we were there we parked at Eccles arlfc - was about 15 mins walk but we then got straight out and onto m'way and away in no time.

Used Eccles RL three times now. £3 quid and the money goes back into the amateur game. Support Eccles RL. After the Trinity game was home and having my tea in WF4 before friends got off the car park.

I really wish you could word it better jack, just take a look next time at the amount of tiding being done, its not just about barriers now

yes we could, you would be surprised at how much room there was, it seem full but everyone was sensibly spaced out

Thats rich from some one whose just admitted you can't afford your own slum.

At least Salford and Cas Tigers have a car park. WTW have heath common.

So, Cas fans.
I think we've been pretty welcoming on our board to all of you and so far it has worked ok but don't start the mine is bigger than your debates please. You are welcome to do that on your own board. Not here.

I know mate you guys are doing a great job but what ever you do its only ever going to be a patch up.
The ground was built and designed in the late 1800's and what ever you do something else will crop
up later that's just the way it is. I just think we are putting good money and effort after bad and we need
to accept that and move on.

I will give you one last example. I remember the old main stand, we pulled it down and terraced that side.
The terracing seems reasonably sound and is the best in the ground but it was laid far too shallow, makes viewing
very difficult and not really fit for purpose. So no matter what you do down there it will never be any good.

Well right now it's all we've got. Unless you've got a spare 20 million?

Well put Daddycool it is all we have and I for one can put up with the old girl as she has some great memories for me.It aint for not trying but I cant get those Euro numbers when its a big pay out as things would change then.
A big thanks is in order for those that have been giving time up to get the old girl in shape.

I don't see the big deal.
Where I stand I can see all 4 corner flags. I can see the game and not too far away even when at opposite side of the field.
There are things that could be improved but knowing people are working on the improvemnts to the current stadium, and that there are possibilities of a sparkling new one in future is enough for me.
The issues we have got haven't suddenly appeared. We haven't had good parking for a long time and the east stand terrace has always been shallow.
Enjoy what we have or get involved with improving what we don't have. Simples

Yes it is, but my question to you would be if you had 20M would you spend it there or move on ?

Move on.

Move on. My question back will be what would you do if you only had 5?

I would be asking the question as to why I had been shafted

Mine to you is if you have 5 then give me one.

This is the thing though. The club are not a primary partner? It is between the stadium trust, council and developer. I'm trying to get a meeting with council leader. Bit like trying to get an audience with the pope at minute

May be a long wait there as a certain Mr Box may have selective hearing dependant upon which side of the common he Is facing.

I'm 6 feet tall and have never had problems with a good view. The only complaint i'd have is the lack of cover in bad weather, got used to parking far away when the crowds used to be much bigger. I could understand people knocking the club if they were just standing still but there seems to be a lot of work getting done with little outlay thanks to the hard working volunteers that all clubs need.

Pity the foxy bingo offer wasn't still on we could have signed 5m worth of people up and had the 20m

I like Belle Vue. I've got a lot of memories there. It's a traditional rugby league stadium. The pitch is fantastic. The view is always fantastic and you're free to move around. It's got toilets, it's got cider and it's got burgers. That will ding dang do for me. Only beef anyone could have I think is a lack of car parking facilities and the length it takes to get served. But these are only minor gripes for me, as a parking spot is usually fairly easy to find a short walk away.

Oh, and my grandad's ashes are scattered behind the tryline at the north stand end

When we are back up to (or near) capacity, there is no problem with BV.
Ok, it's not a shiny new stadium but, it's a great place to watch rugby league and no matter how many seats or car park spaces there are, most people turn up to watch the game.
Call me old fashioned but, it's great to be able to chat to folk on the terraces and not be confined to a seat with poor leg room and then get disturbed every 5 minutes by someone going for a p or a pint (and then a p)

God - it's a long time since i've heard that conspiracy theory.
