The Dewsbury experience : Sun Jan 08, 2017 5:46 pm  

Just wondering what people thought about the ground today. I thought it was tidy,easy to get to and planty of potential to expand. Also a gate of 1500 which I think would have not been improved upon if we had staged the game at Belle Vue.

I would have no problem if we played there better than the dump we are in at the moment.

I love the Dewsbury ground, always have. As a potential new (temporary) site we could do a lot worse than relocate there

More than happy with it as a temporary solution but current capacity a problem when the better supported teams visit.

Was it me or did anyone else think that there was more than 1500 . Apart from that nice ground with, like someone as suggested, room to expand.

Great little ground and have to say pretty much most of it is better than BV. Wouldnt bother me if we had a to play there
for a season or 2.

Agreed on both points.
We thought over 2000 there today and if the place holds 6000, I dont know where the rest would fit.
The pitch is short though (same as Cas ?) but, it's a tidy ground and could probably be expanded more easily than starting from scratch at BV.
Maybe "the flats would go at the opposite end to the scoreboard ?

Thought crowd was a little over 2,000.

I hadn't realised just how close to Wakefield it actually is - about 200 meters.

I reckon my temporary/modular solutions could be used to upgrade it which would in turn give us a stake in the ground.

That's why I never understood when people complained it was too far away, it's barely outside the city limits and i think it's closer to Ossett than Dewsbury.

Temporary solution great. Permanent solution, not so good.
