I think the dug-outs went to Retford Utd.
I think part of the Rosso terrace has been preserved. Saw some photos recently.
Sorry if this has been posted before. Driving by the racecourse and explaining to my son the site of Belle Vue. It got me wondering does anyone know what happened to the turnstiles and floodlights etc? Does anyone have anything from the old ground?
When the pitch was sold off a mate of mine paid out extra for the centre spot. Apparently he was the 87th person to buy one.
On a similar note I believe that the ground Arsenal played at before Highbury still has some of the terracing remaining at the bottom of the gardens of a row of terraces in London.

Arsenal played at the Manor Ground in Plumstead (South East London) before moving north to Highbury in 1913. However, for three years in the late 1800s they played at a different ground in Plumstead, The Invicta Ground. It's this one from which a few steps of terracing still remain, in the back gardens of a row of houses in Hector Street.

Apparently when his wife Debbie saw it in the back garden she kicked off.
