I’m not sure what you’re on about, in all honesty. A roof behind the sticks at Belle Vue has only been there for about ten years, at the most.

The management have held off announcing anything until they are fairly confident of a positive outcome. The Chairman himself is cautiously optimistic with statements such like until we're all sat in it before believing it but no doubt it will provide some fun for those who wish to make it over the course of the off season. Here's hoping anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you on about. That lid on the north terrace was only built about 5 years ago. I think you mean the old south stand and terraced that was demolished in the late 70s and that is where the hospitality boxes are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The North stand roof is only a few years old, terracing under it needs sorting but that’s the plan the one i could see was still on telly for years after with two big squares painted in it were the sponser had been,roofing firm barrass mc ginuess.

That one is being replaced with this up grade am thinking of the one on the right as you come in from carpark, the one on the left had a sponser on too,think it were some beer company but that were a lot a years ago. might a been changed now but it deffo had 2 big massive black squares in for years,it were a time when the sponser was on flanshaw lane and you could by asbestos sheets no probs,they went bust and it were painted out, my workshop were over near the new houses by ice cream place masserelies.

Let's put you right. The north stand has a roof which was built by the last club chairman, Andrew Glover, just the year before Carter took over. Up to that point it was un covered terracing throughout the history of belle vue. Moving along down the side is the east stand which is to be replaced. The east stand is the seating are of the ground, also covered and the stand running along the side you see on televised games. Moving behind the sticks is the south end. This is where the hospitality boxes are. They replaced a covered stand and terrace which was demolished in the 70s Moving next is the western terrace. It has a small bus shelter type stand in one corner but is mostly uncovered and also where television gantry is. That's belle vue, hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
