brilliant news, about time too

that building has been an eyesore for years, cant wait to sink a few in there

I don't think there will be a pool table in there.

Good news and as others have said, a significantly more meaningful statement of intent than being photographed in front of a digger wearing a hardhat.

Well done AG a bit of positive news.
Is this maybe to give the RFL one final dilemma by showing we are serious about doing BV to standard.Should maybe start work on a stand if possible to really put the cat in the pigeons.

No mate, we've saved our trump card (the couple of 60Watt energy savers we've fixed in the cludgie) for last.

At least the bar's open in time for people to drown their sorrows at the weekend, and there'll probably be plenty to drown. Kerching!

In an ideal world we should have started on the stand the day after the big meeting, to prove that we mean business. Ofcourse, with everything needed to build a stand, keeping it secret for the meeting would have been too difficult.

To build a temporary stand behind the posts we have to knock down the terrace, so obviously this would have to wait for the end of the season. Can't imagine the bottle bar stand would be any different either. In 17 days we'll know whether we're about to get either. "Aah hae ma doots".

It does get you down sometimes looking at the score against lately !! Maybe a good idea to use the electricity on bottle fridges ! this could lull the pain and be putting more money in the Wakefield coffers

As much as a new bar is a good thing, you would have thought they would be getting rid of those terrible looking porta cabins on the western terrace if theyre planning on putting a stand over there??

Don't let Steve Snitch hear you say that!

I think the plan is to put the 'covered area' down below and in front of the cabins, so that users of the bar can see the magnificent vista that is Belle Vue. It's a case of making the best of what we have got.
Personally I'd have thought they could have made better use of them by turning them into a 'Daddy Cool' area for our younger supporters; we seem to do nothing in terms of attracting and keeping the 'future' of the club. When my kids were younger we used to bring a rucksack of toys and they used to play with their cars on the north bank when they were bored (shows we didn't get the crowds).
What do the kids do now? What is there for them currently? - a face painting area that is half open to the elements!

The plan is to cover the area to the side of the old cabins - where the bands play - not in front of the cabins. This was also the plan back in 2000 and is therefore easily resurrected.

Would love to play in a new improved belle vue next season and for the other 2 before moving into newmarket. I was thinking we still have crusaders to play at home thats gonna be tastey if there 3rd rate australian club get the nod ahead of us!!! Protest in the ground?

Folks some of you are barking up the wrong tree! The bullster is an ardent wakey fan and an ex player!
