It would be a best seller if there were pictures of the old ground and some of the past stars as well could be put into a book. I am sure there are loads of pictures of the ground from the early days out there. There are also some good shots of the ground from "This Sporting Life".

at least they don't have those light blue three wheeled cars for the disabled parked on the touchlines anymore.

Working on it

Certainly was . Can remember a game v Fulham watching the frost work it's way down the roof , it was virtually White by full time ... Happy days !

Vastman - have you tried the Dreadnoughts thread ? I'm sure there's some pictures of the ground on that . God knows how many pages you'll have to trawl through though first .

Off the other thread.

Theres plenty of folk at BV in the first picture WOW

There isnt many people in the seats though..

Two out of three ain't bad!!!

Fills me with happy memories of my childhood. I was 1st taken by my Dad in 1971 and remember the south and west stands very well. The picture with the south stand reminds me of a 1975 3rd round challenge cup tie v Hull KR. 14000 crammed in to BV. I remember the roar each time we scored; amazing with stands on 3 sides. 27-10 to Trinity I think it ended with a semi-final defeat to Widnes at Odsal to follow.And the other post about incompetent management at Trinity over decades rings so true. The worst decision was pulling the South stand down before adequate plans were in place for the new stand. I recall attending a members meeting in the Unity Hall with my Dad and seeing the plans that included what is now Cats Bar. I hope the Newmarket plans go beyond the paper stage, unlike those! And more great memories from the West stand season ticket we had, centre, right at the back; a narrow victory v Barrow in the '79 cup final run, Trevor Skerrett diving over for the winner and an utter thrashing of Leeds in the 80-81 season when we should have won the league. Great days and I loved Belle Vue

I remember that game Charlie, I was 10 at the time and I had been taken a few times by my dad too. It must have been a TV game because it was a Saturday and it was amazing seeing the ground packed to the rafters. I'm pretty sure we were drawn at home in every round, been wracking my brain to try and remember who we beat in the first 2 rounds, St Helens rings a bell and Featherstone but am not sure on that one. I'd like to own a comprehensive collection of all seasons results from the 1960s if anyone has such a list of results, teams played, scorers and cup runs I'd be most grateful. I've got loads of footage on video of games but in a lot of cases one season pales into another, certainly when I was younger and lived in Cheshire it was harder then to get to games. If I had a list of results season by season I'd be able to recall those great matches I went to when I was a lad. Hope someone can help.

In my opinion the best winger I have seen in my time supporting Wakefield he had real pace and tremendous power. If he played today he would have being a great SL winger right up there with Ryan Hall

I will never forget him putting Wigan to the sword at Central Park in the early 80s
