Might be me but the drone footage doesn’t fully do the changes justice. It’s probably due to works still ongoing in places. I’m also sure once those boxes on west and a roof is put across 3/4 and cladding it will look much more impressive on drone footage.

Interestingly the new east corner has been dug up as far as the turnstiles ( I’m sure this will likely be still re-utilised as new terracing in the corner). I wonder if they will also be replacing the old turnstiles there.

I hope they keep them, even if they don't use them. They've been a landmark feature on that route into Wakey for decades (First time I saw them was in 1973 passing through Wakey on the Leeds Utd Supporters bus from Donny), and are representative of the stadiums heritage.

I'd probably been going to Belle Vue for about 5 years before I even saw that frontage. As a youngster, walking from town, we either climbed over the wall down the western perimeter or entered using the turnstiles down that side. We would then walk behind the South Stand and risk slicing our fingers off climbing over the corrugated metal walls of the gents toilets. We were poor back then.






This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

The drone footage does show just how little a percentage of the N Stand Terracing was upgraded, looks to be around 30% of it.
I’ve said before that I’d love the whole terrace done with a matching roof to the E Stand.
I wonder if there’d be any mileage in removing the N Stand roof and repurposing it as a temporary fix along the West Stand

It’s kind of sad and dissapointing we ended up with that small section upgraded and so much wasted space. You could easily get at least another 1000-1500 up there.

If I recall correctly it got scaled back a few times. Was supposed to have cladding, platform and refreshments at the back too.

Had it covered more of the old terrace it could have been much better.

I was down at the north-western corner of the ground this afternoon and I can confirm that this area appears to be fully included in the re-terracing as per the front of the north stand. The corner also includes those plastic pipes whatever they are for.
the south terrace metal railings have been removed and excavations have started along that side to accommodate the LED advertising.
