It is often the case that life gets in the way of keeping up to date with your favourite club and if it is the case that you haven’t been able to follow the build-up, or the match itself, we will bring you up to date with all of the latest news today.
Stadium
The match takes place at Belle Vue Stadium, which is an historic ground in the Belle Vue district of Wakefield. For far far too long, the stadium was a big problem for the club as it was far below the expectations of a modern stadium fit for a professional sports club.
It drained the club’s finances just keeping it up to the minimum safety requirements to be open and it put of many home and away supporters from attending matches hosted there.
Thankfully, things are now much improved and after huge improvement from the club in most aspects of the stadium, it is now a tidy small Rugby League ground worthy of a club of the standing if Rugby League.
The biggest different at the new Belle Vue is the main stand that runs the full length of the field and features a single tier all-seater set up with some corporate facilities.
Behind one set of sticks in a 2-tier terrace, that is partially covered and that houses the bulk of the most vocal home supporters who always give a great atmosphere on match days.
At the other end of the ground is the infamous block of corporate boxes that makes the ground so easily recognisable on game day.
The last stand is a small terrace that runs the full length of the field but with a shallow rake and limited covering, it is the part of the ground that is still in need of an urgent upgrade.
Location
The city of Wakefield is the capital of West Yorkshire and one of Rugby League true hotbeds.
The district of Wakefield is home to numerous professional and semi-professional Rugby League teams as well as amateur and junior clubs, so it is no surprise that Wakefield is one of the biggest producers of professional Rugby League players including many England internationals.
The stadium sits almost centrally along the M62 motorway, which is often thought of as the corridor of the sport’s traditional northern heartlands.
About
This may not be a local derby, and it may not have the strongest rivalry in it but as a battle between two historic clubs from the sports heartlands who in the modern era are both evenly matched on and off of the field, it is a game that will grab the attention of both sets of fans.

In the build up to the match, the squads for both clubs are announced well in advance and that makes it easy for fans to read who is and who isn’t available for selection come the day of the game.
Fans can then digest the news and discuss it with friends, family and other fellow fans but do the same with the actual teams to take to the field can be much trickier.
That is because the actual run on teams don’t tend to get announced until just before kick-off but as soon as they are announced from Belle Vue, we will bring them to you.
