The worst kept secret is out, Eagles to play at Wakey on the 6th January

Four weeks on Friday, how exciting!!

Thats gonna be mega cold. But im quite looking forward to it.

£15 for adults, £5 for concessions

£15 for a friendly?

Ridiculous.

Arent we getting all the cash from it though?

Doubt it.

I've heard it's easier to get the train to Sandal & Aggbrigg rather than Wakefield Kirkgate/Westgate?

Westgate's a fair step on foot but Kirkgate and SandalanAgbrigg are pretty much the same distance away from the ground.

The walk from Kirkgate isnt too bad as it has pubs on the way, although it is the worst station in the UK.

It is absolutely horrible. I'm surprised the entire thing hasn't fallen down by now.

I thought it already had.

Used to be a well kept station when it was manned.



Cutbacks have a lot to answer for. This leaves on the line business never used to happen even though he had autumns before trains. Why ? Because BR used to cut all the trees back every so often so that leaves didn't fall on the line!!!

The Grey Horse outside Kirkgate Station is a decent pub and then a 5-10 minute walk up Doncaster Road to BV.
If your'e going to Sandal and Agbrigg Station which is only 5 minutes walk away, head either for the Conservative Club on Doncaster Road, which is cheap or straight into the ground. The food and drink in the ground especially cats bar or the supporters bar in the benidorm apartments are hugely improved over the last twelve months.
Travel safely and enjoy the game, wrap up well!!!!!!

Where's the best place to park?

Probably Sheffield and come in on the train.

That's a great idea, sadly I'm coming from Leeds

Should be plenty of on street parking near the ground. You should be fine.

Good run out for both teams. You couldn't be sure who was going to win five minutes from time.

I ended up sitting behind the blokes who played centre in the first game I ever watched.

Decent blow out for the lads, tired a bit towards the end but that's to be expected.

Looking forward to seeing the suspended players against Donny.

Was impressed with the speed at which the eagles played but thought our youngsters handled it well too. You looked the more organised team until Moore came on for us and started to take the lead. Some useful players on both sides and with prob around five first team regulars to return for you I'd be amazed if you didn't challenge for a top four spot. Eagles fans made plenty of noise and were a credit to the club. Good luck for the season

Cheers Uptoncat good luck for the rest of the season.

Good game and did a job for both sides. The players needed the match time and the result was in the balance for a while but thats not what it was about. Thanks to the Wakey fans for their friendliness as well.

Just want to mention, id never been to Belle Vue before but heard stories about how bad the ground was. I just want to say that they were not true. It was much worse than i was expecting, im sorry but its derelict, tiny, unsafe and with the paint on the floor its just a matter of time before someone falls and breaks a leg. Maybe they should phone Rapid Solicitors?

Good job there was a Dr around!
L.express didn't like the match - but then what do you expect two of the most unfashionable sides playing each other aren't going to get much praise!

And the fact it was a God awful game littered with errors played in horrible conditions.
