The maximum width of a RL pitch is 68 metres...can you guess how wide BV is..?
BV is also 100 metres long...also the maximum.

| Used data off the internet about the size of the pitches which was in yards as well as metres....
68 metres is 74.4 yards....although the data on the length of Belle Vue that I got is also inaccurate as 100 metres is 109 yards... 
The RFL state that senior Rugby League pitches should be dimensioned as closely as possible to their specification, which shows the optimum pitch size as 100m x 68m with a 3m safety margin, but gives a range of 6m - 11m for the In-Goal area. |

Not sure but Bellevue is the biggest playing surface in SL. |

So there we have it. The assertion that Dragons will like "the wide open spaces of St James's Park", is discredited, as Wakey play on the wide open spaces of BV all season.
As BV is maximum width, St James's can't be wider, or more open. It's simply an illusion of space in a super stadium, the same as Wembley for instance.

Strange isn't it.
Every year at Wembley, Ray French would say "the size of this Wembley pitch" as the reason for player fatigue as players start to cramp up.
It always looked huge though, especially when the kids game was shown !

I would say so, at Bellevue we are up close and personal giving the illusion that the pitch is cramped up. |

The current squad only have these guys out of contract at end of season
Contracted till 2016
Craig Hall
Nick Scruton
Scott Anderson
Danny Kirmond
Stuart Howarth
Jordan Tansey
Andy Yates
So he is either renewing Kirmond, Scruton or Hall, or one of the others are being extended even further.
Maybe Miller beyond 2017 or one of Jowitt and Johnstone beyond 2018

Think you can put your money on it being the captain.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.
WTRLC 2012 to 2014 "The wasted years"
Magic Weekend "Whipping Boys" 2013, 2014 & 2015
2017 - The year the dream disappeared under Grix's right foot.
2018 - The FinniChezz Bromance
2019 - The return of the Prodigal Son.
2020 - Keeping the faith.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2597.jpg |

Announcing a Max Jowitt extension would be as inspiring to the fans as the news of Brian Smiths appointment just before our Magic Weekend game last year.

| I think it could be Jane McDonald, in order to sing Nessum Dorma when we've won the title (or cup). 
Get practising lass! |
