From the council who gave us the 37m swimming pool, the not-a-Theatre-not-a-SportsHall Cultural Centre in the middle of a council estate, the bulldozing of the town's finest 19th century architecture, the £6m grey seizure-inducing paving slabs, the £7m Icelandic Bank Deposit, the slow-motion rotting of the FishDocks and with it any last vestige of the town's industrial heritage.  Why should we be surprised?

Wouldn't be surprised to see the crazy paving dug up just before any new stadium was to built only to appear as the foundations at the Fish Bowl. At least then the council could say they contributed and drove the scheme on.

I would be glad of a stadium with just one side at the moment, never mind two! Just so this actually gets going at last!
I thought Oxfords ground looked a bit weird with three sides but actually it was OK when the match started. A great ground!

Seriously though, who the f** in their right mind builds a 37 metre swimming pool?

The same people who'd build a two-sided football ground it would seem.

I thought you and him were mates now you've been chatting in car parks? You're a bit fickle aren't you?!

They had to put a boom in afterwards to accommodate the clubs at 25 metre, my one claim to fame ( sad ) is that I could swim that 37 metre underwater without coming up for air and I reckon I could still do it now at 56, although I am not as streamline as I used to be ( belly ).

My old man used to moan about that. They had a perfect opportunity to build an Olympic sized pool when they built Scaffa Baffs.

Not unusual though. I use an old lido which is 36m (40 yards).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
