I will miss the flats hope we can bring them with us

disagree, BV is a dump but I have many great memories.
Don't forget those who have scattered theashes of loved ones on our hallowed turf.

Having said that todays news is great news

I will miss it all

Think i'd definately want a slice of the pitch or something to remember it by. Might even buy posts for by garden

how much for chav corner?

Will miss standing right infront of bottle bar

Will miss the people we stand with in the same place for X number of years, being able to change ends and the close proximity to my house.

I will miss old friends who are no longer with us.

yeah to right Al

I need a new lawn

If you do move then you will miss the old place like crazy for a while.
We at leigh miss hilton park but youve got to move with the times i suppose.

good luck with the new ground

the mosque on st catherines street

Get them a beer to share and their yours for life

I going to miss the Puddle!

The walk through Sugar Lane cemetery, with the noise of the announcer coming over the houses, so I know that I am there in time for kick-off, waiting for the usual extremes of disaster or unexpected success.

friday/sat nights walking through the grave yard

Some good some bad

The security people telling the kids to put there feet back over the wall

the tannoy system

The fact that my daughter can't see from just about anywhere she stands in the ground

the pitch

i once played in a school boy game at half time and one of our players ran the full length (none of this short stuff in them days) and then ran in to the post and dropped the ball, after the game we met the players and Wally Lewis was playing for Trinity and the teacher said to him have you any advice for these kids, after to hearing the story of the game Mr Lewis said "never run with your eyes closed", and that my friends is why he was a legend



i suppose however bad it is, i have been going there for 25 years and it will always be my theatre of dreams.

Great news today, just don't want to get carried away until we hear more concrete details

I don't know, and probs wont, until it has happened.

Cue Joni Mitchell.

I sure will miss BV when the time comes. I've grown old with the ground, my kids have grown up with the ground . Lots of memories and people may call the old girl, but she is ours and you always defend your own.

Two bits for me that sum up BV and while we all know we have to move on, it won't be easy for us older ones to deal with. You could say its just grass and concrete but its far more than that.

There are many things I'll miss, too numerous to mention.
One thing I do continue to get though is a spiritual lift from just driving past the old place. I can never drive past without physically turning my head. Many a time I have a smile and sometimes, following a win, punch the air.


Whatever happens to the old ground I might put a bid in for that Donny Road Frontage. It would be great in front of my house.

The broccoli tree of course.

Also all the miserable moaning gets though I imagine we'll have to take them with us.

This is just what the club needed, will be a really exciting time over the next year or so with talk surrounding the new stadium.

I think the pitch is one thing ill miss as its easy the best in Superleague, but apart from that theres not much we'll always have the memories and its not as if you want be seeing the same faces when we move to Stanley

At least we can have a proper "KOP" behind the posts its one thing I think Belle Vue lacks, when we go to Away games i feel its such a better atmosphere we make so much noise on away games, home games its as if people are scared to make noise

I was wondering if theres anything of Belle Vue that people would want to take with us as a reminder of the old ground?
I know a lot of teams do this Middlesbrough FC have the gates of there old stadium on there new stadium things like that?

I was assuming the old ground was going to be turned into a park dedicated to the broccoli tree.

1. The walk through the cemetry

2. The Puddle obstacle course at the turnstiles

3. Being able to move around and stand wherever i please

4. The Pitch

5. Kids being told to put their legs the otherside of the wall only to put them back a minute later

6. The Benidorm flats and watching Kear twiddle his finger in his usual spot.

7. Cats Bar and being able to mix with away fans in the bar beforehand

8. Daddy Cool jumping on the old dug outs
