It goes back a lot further and deeper than that mate with the land that was always known as the Bevan Huts.

At least 30 years ago my sons played on those fields for the junior RL team Half Acres Trinity. The club paid to play there but got changed else where. As you say things just got worse and worse and the grass was never cut and then they stopped marking out the pitch so eventually we moved to the Half Acres school pitch which gave them the excuse to take the posts down.
About the same time i played in a 20 overs cricket league on there and although the batting strip was always ok gradually the outfield became over grown and the boundary wasn't marked.
The end finally came when we arrived for our game (paid the fee) to find an unofficial match going on and the 2 teams refused to move.
In hindsight it seems as if this was the plan for the Bevan Huts and other sporting venues.

I’m sure I read in the Wakefield Express in the latter part of last year that the houses in Thornes Park now aren’t being built.

bell Vue is fit for the championship - the way we are going we wont need to move or get a new stadium.....

Do you always have to be negative? How about being positive for once!

i was positive about the stadium 20 years ago when it was first bought up.

DUCK EGG so far.....

I suppose you'd know all about this visiting it on a regular basis

slightly off track its not just sporting or leisure that is getting effected,
my local park has a beck that under passes a walk way and that had been blocked for some time, when the rain comes it filled and overflowed on to the path way making it very boggy and saturating the surrounding ground, it was only because of a phone call from me highlighting the dangers of high wind soggy ground and high trees did they clear the drains,
since then the beck is running freely but is bring debris again so it will block again, back on track Wreny park has a football field that gets marked out once then its left for the clubs to sort out, its left to over grow in the closed season for to be cut now and again, the rest of the park used to cut regular not now its left to be call meadow land part of that meadow land used to have kids playing football and goals would be fetch in, not any more as drainage from the beck soon buggered that up.
The council will only do what it has to do and will close a blind eye until someone threatens them with legal action
If anyone want to test that out, call the council and tell them that you have slipped on the metal bridge and near fell in the steam, they own the bridge as in the park and it should have a kick strip of 100 mm but there is nothing there, they could be sued

I do not expect the council to even entertain looking at a stadium, but we could draw some picture and dream

When was the last time you were at Belle Vue?

17 years ago.

Bet you was behind the sticks at the John Smiths yesterday though

So on what are you basing your opinion that it is not fit for purpose.
Clearly I'm not saying it is great by a loooong way, but you seem adamant that it is championship level yet haven't experienced it yourself.

Oh dear oh dear BOJO42. We have had a series of narrow defeats to the best teams and now we are sure for the drop. I don't know if you noticed but there's 5 teams below us. I actually think you are just a wind up merchant. There's never anything positive. If we were top of the league you'd find something to have a go about and you live on the other side of the world! 17 years lol

TBF it's the other side of the common which is kinda in another world
