I hope that's not the case, but suspect you'll probably be right. With that very shallow terracing the west side is an awful place to see anything of the game. Even someone of average height, like me, won't see even half the game if there is any sort of crowd in.

I appreciate Odsal is a bit distant from the pitch but at least the terracing is deep enough to see over the crowd in front. Guess I'll still be there for the atmosphere and to support the team, but with the video set so I can see what happened when I get home!

Nah, it's Sky+ box, but it'll always be 'video it' to me....

Can't fault you there Rog, the dilemma for me though is do I stand at the top for easy access for a half time cuppa and take me binoculars to watch the game, or do I go down into the bowels of the earth and either not have one or risk an heart attack rushing up to the top and back down again so I don't miss some of the second half, decisions eh, I'm sure there's a compromise there somewhere

Thimk that compromise is pretty obvious to stand in the middle then

The last two matches have seen the club apply segregation so you might well be placed on the western terrace. I would expect an announcement a week today if Belle Vue is the host ground.

Wrong I watched from the west stand with the opposite support, north stand is home support only

Exactly this

I'm well over 6 feet tall and couldn't see half of the action the last time I stood on that terracing

I saw that Snowie. Please correct my comment to read that away fans will directed to the west terrace and moved away from the north stand.

That must be because you spent most of the game with your eyes covered as we scored yet another try!! (much like I've spent most of this season)

Sadly I don't expect we'll do that to you again this time.

Funnily enough, even though, over the years, I've possibly been to more games at Belle Vue than even the odd non-regular Wakey fan, I'm totally unsure of the ground's orientation. With that in mind, and I hate being troublesome but, instead of East, West etc, can you stick to - the stand, opposite the stand, corporate box end and covered end, cos I'm getting lost at the minute.........
