Which grounds would these be that are willing or able to allow their pitches to be either partly ripped up or covered over and yet still guarantee that the meeting will be on whatever the weather? Can't think of any off hand. Hampden is no longer the stadium it was when the Tigers rode there. COMS took out the athletics track.Old Trafford?The Emirates? Don't think so.

Try the Queen's Vaults across the road from the main entrance - the venue a few years back of a somewhat refreshed Carl Stonehewer masterclass(!) in cue artistry witnessed by Mark Loram and various others!

Must have been a ghost train I came home on then!

Newport Wasps 1964-72 Newport 73-6 Newport Dragons 77

Shuttle Cubs

Apart from winning 54-24 in '72 The corners of the the pitch were actually coconut matting so they could be removed to accommodate the Wasps after the County had played their home games.Many moans from Fourth Division players about dodgy corners(not for the last time at Newport!!!)

But the Gelredome in Arnhem does.

Could it be they are waiting to see which nations qualify for Euro 2008 to avoid clashing?

Doesn't Montjuic Stadium in Barcelona still have the running track around it from 1992 Olympics?

It may appear on BBC 2W Wales Today Extra @ 21:40 (Ch 102 in Wales-not sure UK wide) but if some rugby player has sneezed I wouldn't hold my breath!

Don't know if this has been reported anywhere else but todays "Wales On Sunday" says this years entertainment will be provided by ......CHAS'N'DAVE!

'Fraid so. For next year perhaps they could ask Johnny Marr (ex-Smiths) to perform as he is a Belle Vue fan since 1973 according to today's G2 .

Craig Watson now in according to official site!

Anybody else spot the England v New Zealand programme cover stuck to the locker door in this weeks episode? Must be Daily Mirror Tournament at Belle Vue.

"Mistakenly"? Can you mistakenly join such a scummy organization and not know it's intentions?If she was at Cable Street then she had a bloody good idea what people thought of Mosley and his thugs.I also find it unlikely that she knew nothing of Kristallnacht ,an event some years before 1940 or the Nurnburg Laws of 1935 - events that the BUF no doubt celebrated.

Nasty piece of work by all accounts http://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/Page452.html
