Last bit of Belle Vue standing.

[German Rover]

Was in Doncaster today and stopped in ASDA by the Dome, and noticed the metal sheet fence at the back of the away end is still there. It had Richarson out graffiti on it back in my youth.

Is that fence the last remaining bit of Belle Vue standing and in place? Or does someone who lives there got a bit of terracing in their back garden?

I think they are Semis and Detached but no Terraces

   That's funny

[roversdude]

Town houses are the new terrace lol
If you look at some of the houses adjacent to the main road they have a nice little nod to our hallowed former home

[Herbert Anchovy]

Good question. When I was last around that area a couple of years ago there was still quite a lot of rubble from the old pop side that had mounted up in between the houses and the road into the supermarket. I couldn’t see any evidence of terracing though. Wasn’t there a bloke who’d got one of the old turnstiles in his back garden who posted on here at one time?

Just looked at it on Google Maps satellite view. I see they’ve named some of the roads after the parts of the old ground which is something. But fancy actually living in a house there! I think that would almost be a permanent spiritual experience.

Absolutely, FR. Think of the lucky Arsenal fans that live in the apartment complex at Highbury. The huge white marble stands are still part of it, as they were listed.

Whenever I go to London, I always look across at it just before passing the Emirates.

The VSC lobbied the builders whilst it was still in the planning stages and gave them a list of names and ideas that we hoped they would include in the development.
Fortunately they obliged and the area pays tribute to what was a memorable stadium for a lot of us.

The front apartments also have the Rovers badge on and the years 1922 to 2006.

Also the car park entrance barrier is still there and the old match advertisement board.

I’ve always been really disappointed that there wasn’t any room to honour our last ever goalscorer there, Theo Street.

Give that the history of Belle Vue and those who served the club over the years extends way beyond either of these two latter day individuals and what sounds to me their relatively modest achievements, it was perhaps a good decision to simply memorialise the component parts of the ground.

Or that French fella, Col de Sac

[roversdude]

Sure they all have a kitchen

[turnbull for england]

At least bit wasn't overdeveloped, you don't feel Crambed in

Could cost a pretty Penny , especially if it had a Nichol fence and some Green space as well

[belton rover]

Kids playing Kerbie Kane, Coppscotch and Simon Marbles in the street.

That Richardson Out graffiti was almost as iconic as the ground for me. Was there for ages, every time you went to Asda. Should've been preserved like a Banksy piece.
