Trinity return to Belle Vue for the first time since the season was suspended, with their last fixture on home soil resulting in a Challenge Cup win over Championship side Bradford Bulls.

Of their five league games before the nation was placed into lockdown, Wakefield had played just twice at home.

No fans will be present as Chester’s side take on the Robins but the Trinity boss is just happy to be playing in Wakefield again.

“It is nice, it is going to be really nice,” he said.

“I can’t see there being any double headers here at Belle Vue but it is nice to be on a pitch you are familiar with and that you train on everyday.

“It is a shame there are no fans but it is certainly a step in the right direction.

“It is nice for the players to get a few home games under our belt. We have only played at home twice in the league all year.

“We have not been at home since the start of the year, so it is a nice change.”
