I think leeds fans had to walk to the other side of the ground opposite to the main entrance, where there was one little poxy turnstile and stood down the side that is uncovered,

I think from pics and stuff ive seen

Wish I'd known that before I bought my ticket - I might not have bothered. BV is an awful ground for seeing at the best of times and down the side is the worst spot of all, imo.

Still, nil desperandum, my ticket just says 'ground' and my dad came from Wakefield so I could just about manage the local patois if necessary, jacket on over the shirt....hope it's not too warm... icon_rolleyes.gif

I always go down the side opposite the main stand and I think that's the away end.

I don't think the view is that bad provided your not right up to the pitchside.

Veni, Vidi, Spurius brutus detruncavi I came, I saw, I tore the thick b4st4rds limb from limb Bradford Bulls - the polished turds of SL since 2012:Black Backgrounds/Earl%20Sinclair.gif



Always thought the away stand was behind the posts on the terrarce, near the camera gantry?

Thats where i have always stood.

Kears view on the game and also a mention about player payment, hopefully today it says, which will mean thats what the guys are gobbing about, really not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Huge game for Bradford! I mean the race for the league leaders shield is wide open, but the chase for the 8th spot is really exciting as the season almost comes to a close. But i have every confidence that our Bulls can do it! Hopefully we can beat Wakey, then have some momentum going into a tough run in.

the ground used to be open to all but now the north stand is used to create an atmosphere in which seems to be working, shame we have had a few idiots at the widnes game

Why is it? Have you ever stood down the side terracing or gone in the stand at Odsal? The view is perfect - the distance from the pitch is fine and you have a perfect level of elevation to be able to see all of the pitch clearly.
Compare that to Belle Vue where you're right on top of the play, with very little elevation and you can't see a fecking thing that's going on over on the far side of the pitch. BV is an awful ground, the sooner you move into your new home the better imo.

That's a very good point and lets hope you don't get a few more CCJs before Sunday as well

Quote: snowie "

The usual argument about Odsal is that you're a bit way from the pitch, which is true enough, especially if you choose to stand near the back.

However, wherever you stand you are high enough to clearly see see all the lines, including the dead ball line from right behind the posts, and you can see clearly how close play is to the try line even when you're behind the sticks at the opposite end. The depth of terracing is also sufficient to allow anyone of average height to see over the people standing in front of them.

Much as I quite like Belle Vue as a traditional ground [I'm not a lover of the breeze-block palaces], and it does have some charm, I have to say that none of the previous paragraph can be said about BV, and the viewing gets worse as the crowd number rises.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.:



It's personal opinion. Some line to be close to the play and some prefer to be elevated and a little distance away.

Bradford have what they have and so do Wakey and both are fit for purpose in the league no matter the quality.

Who cares, this is about the game not the respective clubs grounds and bicep measuring.

Looking forward to this one. Having seen alot of effort from Wakey the past 2 games and having the opportunity to take Leeds twice if not for errors at the death I'm hoping for a similar effort, tidier play and hopefully a win.

Think it'll be another tough game and another that could go either way.

Each to their own I suppose, but give me a ground where you're actually close to the action rather than one where you're so far away that you can't tell who has actually got the ball.
I agree that Odsal does make it easier to see how close to the lines you are but I'd still rather not have to watch the game through a pair of binoculars.
