| Quote musson="musson"My understanding of how fev were able to do so well with there stands was they did it via grants and bought the stand 2nd hand
Was it Scarborough fc they bought it from?
Those grants wouldn't be available to us as we are a pro club and fev semi pro
Agree though fevs ground is a credit to them'" yes it was Scarborough stand and they also had an engineering company on green lane that helped them out with the volunteers as do Cas with theirs,
shame we had to rely on a generator and some kind hearted guys |

| Quote ball-in-hand="ball-in-hand"Watching Leeds v Leigh on Friday played at Post Office Road you can't but admire what they have done to their ground. It just makes me wonder why instead expecting the local authority or Yorkcourt to build us a super duper stadium we didn't try to buy the ground back and gradually rebuild it as Featherstone have done. A few year ago all three Wakefield district clubs had crumbling grounds . Now the poorest of those clubs has a ground to be proud of whilst Wakefield and Castleford are still hoping for a fairy godmother to present them with a spanking shiny new stadium off the M62 !'" I'm sure you've asked this question before and had it answered time and time again |

| Quote Eastern Wildcat="Eastern Wildcat"I think, had we have bought the ground back a couple of years ago, this would be a very valid possibility, dependant on available funds.
For me, the difficulty is the west terrace, as I don't think there is much room, and I feel, for the ground to reach its potential, the pitch would need to be moved a little.
Without going on, Hull KR have done similar. Yes the stadium is still relatively new, but when originally built was very basic, but when required, and when they can, have done little upgrades here and there.'"
Plenty of room on western terrace can't you remember the old west stand |

Yes I do M62.
First season I went down to watch that I can remember was 1980-81 season, and I think the stand was pulled down almost immediately after the Bradford fire.
There just doesn't seem to be loads of room at that side.

It's not huge, but it's perhaps bigger than you think.

If the terracing didn't start so low & the terracing was done to a higher angle, it would transform the view. Saying that I stood there for years in it's present form. |

Flatten the area, put in a set of 6 temporary stands (only 16 feet deep) (other variations are available), = 900 seats down the side of the ground. https://grandstandhire.co.uk/
I don't know the costs obviously, but that sorts out the away stand, whilst the rest of the ground is upgraded permanently.
I know...wishful thinking...not gonna happen. |

I would suggest the reason Fev have made more progress on their facilities than Wakey (or Cas for that matter) is that Asa Amone knocked on all those years ago at McAlpine. Since then we've spent a fortune hanging on to Super League status whilst they have been happy to plod along in the 2nd tier.
I think I'm still happy we won that game though.

Try asking Mark Campbell if he's been "happy to plod along in the 2nd tier"! |

I seem to remember it being a fans led change.
So the answer to the opening post is........because Feb have some fans who got off their are and did something about their ground.
Considering how hard it has been for us, they deserve enormous credit for getting the ground they have. Hard work and dedication to the cause got them that.

Leading on from some comments about Fev fans helping out, I can imagine it'll be a little more difficult than just turn up but wouldn't Belle Vue be a little bit more respected if a handful of fans gave some time to the club and helped out around the ground?
On match days I see so many things that are broken, cracks in the pavement, uneven surfaces etc etc... how hard would this be to sort out if the right amount of people got together?

I still say that had Fev won the game, and taken that place in Super League, things would be a lot different due to the required financial input maintaining a Super League team on a shoestring.

I think you'll find some dedicated fans have already done that. |

Some worrying replies there, I've popped Chissitt on ignore as I'm just sick of getting stick regardless of what I put and it's always off topic when he replies...
I don't know anyone had volunteered to do so - excellent effort! Can anyone tell me when this was and how many turned out to help?

As far as im aware there are a bunch of volounteers who work at the ground on a regular basis. Also when the ground failed its safety check a few years ago i believe volounteers played a great part in putting right what the safety officer said was wrong. There have been voulounteer groups for years. I remember going down to the ground on a tuesday night to clean the ground, wash seats etc over 20 years ago

| A lot of hours were given up by the volunteers to mainly rectify the barrier situation to raise the ground safety factor to 7000+ Snowie was very instrumental and the main man in achieving this, but I’m glad I don’t work for him  only kidding Snowie mate  |
