Perhaps our new sponsors might take the opportunity to use BP as a showcase for their technology?

I have the solution: 10 exercise bikes around each pylon connected to a dynamo which runs the lights for matches, pedalled by substitutes, the youth and reserves and anyone else that wants to get a bit fitter!?

Sh*t, I'm genius..










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Unfortunately for you this was an idea already in the pipeline from the previous regime.., harking back to JFs days of having a dynamo on his Raleigh Grifter he tabled this idea at the same time as launching the " be mighty Mariner opportunity" initiative, he was thinking he could set up a spinning class with a bank of second hand bikes in each corner, wired to the floodlights with a length of 2 core cable found in Peter Furneaux's old store under the mainstand, charge individuals £15 for a 90min spinning class led by Dave Smith and market it as an opportunity to "power the park".
