Firstly, congratulations on beating Leigh ( icon_smile.gif ) and qualifying for the deciding match. I'm looking forward to it already and expect a much tighter affair than last time round. I'm certainly not under estimating the potential of your attacking players.

As for those of you kind enough to criticise Belle Vue. - "pot calling the kettly black" springs to mind. Neither of our grounds are thought of highly by visiting fans and both need a major uplift. I don't particularly like the state or viewing area of your ground but I get on with it.

As for parking, you are having a laugh? On street parking is no worse at Wakefield than anywhere else. I've been to most grounds in Super League (except Catalan) and a fair few of the Championship grounds and there are worse places to try and park than Belle Vue. Try parking at Salford for a start if you want a moan.

I understand the neutral ground argument and I am also sympathetic to Championship clubs who haven't benefitted from funding for hosting TV games. I feel you've been hard done by on the TV rights issue.

As for the neutral ground issue, that was stated long before we got to these play offs so we all knew what the rules were. And let's be fair you might still have home advantage in this one yet.

Maybe less of the snide, incorrect and opinionated point scoring on ground facilities and maybe more focus on our teams and the excitement of such an important game.

I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Can't fault you there Rog, the dilemma for me though is do I stand at the top for easy access for a half time cuppa and take me binoculars to watch the game, or do I go down into the bowels of the earth and either not have one or risk an heart attack rushing up to the top and back down again so I don't miss some of the second half, decisions eh, I'm sure there's a compromise there somewhere icon_wink.gif

So. Crowd, few issues last time. Do the wakey fans now feel that the home end is that terracing behind the sticks? Because before it got upgraded, the away fans used it. Which is why we went there last time and didn't feel very comfortable - but that may have been due to what happened on the pitch icon_wink.gif

Thats fairly standard at most grounds. Home fans at the side of the pitch so they can shout "forward!", away fans at one end behind the sticks.

But are away fans now meant to stand behind the dugouts on those really shallow steps that give a poor view if you're at the front? Because there's not a lot of room there really. I may get some seated tickets for this one...

The last two matches have seen the club apply segregation so you might well be placed on the western terrace. I would expect an announcement a week today if Belle Vue is the host ground.

I hope that's not the case, but suspect you'll probably be right. With that very shallow terracing the west side is an awful place to see anything of the game. Even someone of average height, like me, won't see even half the game if there is any sort of crowd in.

I appreciate Odsal is a bit distant from the pitch but at least the terracing is deep enough to see over the crowd in front. Guess I'll still be there for the atmosphere and to support the team, but with the video set so I can see what happened when I get home!

Thimk that compromise is pretty obvious to stand in the middle then

Wrong I watched from the west stand with the opposite support, north stand is home support only

Exactly this

I'm well over 6 feet tall and couldn't see half of the action the last time I stood on that terracing

I saw that Snowie. Please correct my comment to read that away fans will directed to the west terrace and moved away from the north stand.

That must be because you spent most of the game with your eyes covered as we scored yet another try!! (much like I've spent most of this season) icon_wink.gif icon_wink.gif

Sadly I don't expect we'll do that to you again this time.

Funnily enough, even though, over the years, I've possibly been to more games at Belle Vue than even the odd non-regular Wakey fan, I'm totally unsure of the ground's orientation. With that in mind, and I hate being troublesome but, instead of East, West etc, can you stick to - the stand, opposite the stand, corporate box end and covered end, cos I'm getting lost at the minute......... icon_confused.gif
