Despite what Cas fans say the place is a dreadfull dump.

However in all fairness it's not hard to see why it has a bigger capacity than us. Shows just how bad BV has become icon_sad.gif

But its our dump and it holds 11,500 comfortably.
BV is still my favourite away day if the weather is fine.
The parking has never bothered me as I've always thought the walk from Heath common was part of the day.
My focus is usually on your excellent patch of green and my only complaint is that we are not welcome in any of your bars.

How big is the Cosmos ?
How did life on earth begin ?
Is there a God ?

All big questions, but the biggest one of all !!!

How did Cas manage to keep their wooden stand and we had to pull ours down ?

Indeed and BV has always had a great pitch which is full size.
You have to kick a genuine 40/20 in Wakefield icon_wink.gif

Actually I think the floodlights are an even bigger scandal.

We had to pull our old one down which were in every way better than the ones at Cas! Apparently they were structural unsafe and to close to the pitch!! Even though the floodlights down the east side were behind the stand for feck sake.

The club was forced to spend 200k on a white elephant. That money could have been used to refurb the east stand or relay the north terrace.

200k was a huge sum of money in 1992 - incredible that Cas kept there's, possibly the most dangerously located floodlights I've ever seen.

Serious corruption imho.

M.I.B. ??....nope - M.I.R.W.B !!! Sent from my steam-powered Sinclair ZX81.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46136.jpg



Not quite true, Vasty....my step-dad was Principal Electrical Engineer for WMDC at the time and he stated that the steel up-rights which the floodlights were mounted on were made of tubular steel and whoever had erected them, decades previously, hadn't capped them off, so over the years they had filled up with rainwater and had corroded from the inside out and were in imminent danger of toppling over, hence the reason they came down so quickly icon_wink.gif

Fair enough, if you say so, but it begs the question what the hell are the Cas ones made from Titanium! icon_eek.gif

Yes they came down within days of the council selling the ground back to us!!! They had been deemed safe up to that point but as soon as we got back control they became unsafe and were unable to with stand a short burst of oxy acetylene burning.

icon_lol.gif Fair comment but think of the money we save on touch line white wash. It pays Gales wages.
