I drove past the place a couple of weeks ago on the way back from Cheshire, seems a tidy little ground from what I could see of it. Traffic access from the M60 at busy times could be an issue though. We play them early on on a Friday night I believe, that might be a "fun" journey for me, seeing as I will probably be working till 5pm!

BV has been the stadium since 1895 the club has existed since 1873

So we're all agreed then.
Although Wakefield played at Belle Vue since 1879 they didn't buy it until 1895, at the time of the split, to give them a permanent base.
Makes sense to me.
It will be Headingley eventually.........hopefully

Would be interesting to know how many games, if any, were played at belle vue between 1879 and 1895. The second quote only mentions Belle Vue being 'purchased' as a 'permanent' site from 1895. This doesn't mean they necessarily didn't play all, or most, of their games there before then, just that they didn't own it.
I'm a bit of a part-time, plastic fan and I didn't get to many games in the late 19th century, but I've heard you've got a few old-timers on here that keep stats and probably attended a few games

Apologies for drifting off-topic somewhat. How is Wakefield's, or even Salford's, ground being discussed on the Leeds forum?

I did a bit of digging and found some other sources. The site from our resident author seems the most well researched, and therefore most reliable, and seems to suggest 1892 for the current site.
