Directions

How to get there

M1 to junction 39, follow signs for Wakefield (A636). Carry on over three roundabouts toward City Centre. At fourth roundabout (Sainsburys on right) turn right and follow signs for A638 Doncaster. Follow that road through two sets of traffic lights and at the third turn right on to Doncaster Road. (Look for Brown Signs for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats) Stay in left lane and ground is one mile on right. Entrance is via Superbowl 2000.
Emley Crest

Belle Vue is clearly the wrong place for a team of this stature to play. Fine, they are forward looking and maybe the old Welfare Ground was innadequate with limited scope for development, but Belle Vue is simply too large and barren. It's even too big for their landlords, the Rugby League team, so you can imagine how a 500 crowd would rattle around in a 11,000 capacity stadium. One thing for sure, plenty of shelter if it rains!

Wakefield & Emley Programme

Kept a pretty consistant design for this programme for a while now, although lacking in size the content is quite informative. Will never really win any prizes, the £1.00 cover price saves it though.
