And tbf you are still no closer to a new stadium and in the mean time the stadium you do have is falling down.

I have long been arguing that Belle Vue was a dangerous place, ever since I tried to use the men's "toilets" there.

France would never tolerate such an awful place. If it had been located in France, its owners/administrators would have been prosecuted long ago for maintaining such a shameful facility. Belle Vue is a Dickensian blight on the British ambition to be considered a modern nation.

So you're saying French H&S officials are more anal tham their British counterparts?

Are there enough safety barriers around the stadium?,could that be the problem now?

They must be fairly significant issues considering they are doubtful it can be sorted by mid-April, and asking for "all hands on deck".

You could pretty much build a new stand in those timescales, so doubtful that it is just stuff like safety barriers. Sounds like fairly fundamental improvements to the entire stadium to me.

There are the same number of barriers that there were under last years safety certificate. If I had to guess I would say the concrete terracing may be unsafe/in need of repair.

I feel I need a tetanus shot just from looking at Belle Vue.

That's hard to take coming from a "Wire" fan.
You guys should be born with tetanus immunity

A "wire fanatic" would remember a little ground called wilderspool

It's ok KK, he's never actually been to France, a country where they pick and choose their EU regulations and their H & S is certainly no more stringent than the UK.

Most big girls do find it dangerous to use the mens toilets - try the ladies next time

The question should be what was he using the mens toilets for?

So what's the next step wakey fans?

Belle Vue seems much like the situation that Knowsley Road was at the end of our time there. Throwing money at it but making it no better than it was before. Wakey was always a "yeah i've been there but im not going again" type of ground.

It's a shame to see capacity pretty much halved but thems the rules!

s'funny france there is no ' legal requirement on companies for Health & Safety , it'a voluntary measure.

THe H&S guy at Wakey must've been a cas or Leeds fan ... his vis jacket had yellow on it ...
