The Belle Vue ground is older than the game of Rugby League itself.

The events that occurred within it's walls, on it's pitch, are not just the history of Wakefield Trinity and the greatest sporting moments that the town has witnessed but it is the chronicle of our great game. All the legends and greats of the game, since its very inception, have played at Belle Vue and that makes it very special.

It would be nice if we could leave the old place in style, befitting of its history and memories. A commemorative book and a special final game would be a fitting way to leave our Belle Vue.

Im delighted for your club at sorting out plans for a new stadium, but are you going to miss belle vue?

as a halifax fan belle vue was one of the grounds i have most enjoyed visiting to watch a game of rugby (mainly because of its traditional feel), lets hope your new ground retains the same sort of atmosphere and doesnt end up taking 10 year to finish like ours!

The closeness to the city centre, the amount of facilities around the ground but more significantly, the fact that some great players graced the Belle Vue pitch, the fact that Wakefield Trinity once defeated the mighty Australia in a tour fixture, the fact Yorkshire/Challenge Cup finals, the fact that legendary actor Richard Harris acted scenes of Oscar nominated film This Sporting Life, the fact that its a ground where you could follow your team which they're attacking in each half, the fact that you can get food/drink without going through concourse tunnels and can just turn round to see if anything exciting's happening, the fact that at after the final match of the season, you could greet the players on the pitch. To be honest, quite a lot things would be missed if/when Belle Vue goes, although it is time to move on and make a fresh start.
