Belle Vue is a very good stadium by Welsh domestic standards, so much so it often gets chosen to host Welsh Cup semi-finals, and other neutral venue cup fixtures. The ground is mainly under cover, and, for the most part, seated.

Down one side you have the Don Spendlove Stand. This is a covered all-seated stand with a press box, dugouts, and a hot food and drink kiosk.

Opposite you have the George James Stand which is again seated, and under cover, but on one side has a small open terrace, and on the other, a small area of open seating. The TV gantry sits on top of this stand.

Behind one goal is an open terrace, and raised above this is the clubhouse. The clubhouse is OK, and serves alcohol and soft drinks.

Finally, behind the other goal is another all-seated, covered stand, known as the NWPS Construction Ltd Stand.

All in all, Belle Vue is a easily one of the better grounds in Welsh domestic football, and you will have no worries with regards the facilities at the stadium, although the toilets are pretty basic! The ground is hardly modern, but it is refreshing to see a stadium that is mainly under cover here in Wales.

Little extra tip: if you fancy a curry after the match, I can highly recommend the Village Massala in Rhuddlan nearby!
