can anyone think of some better ways to spend that amount of money in a scottish forest to celebrate sport?
Half a million quid? Are they ****ing joking??
Just do it in an area thats suitably grown but has 5-10 years before logging, and get the FC to take the trees out for paper. While they have the machinery in, level your pitch. Spend a grand or so on grass seeds and some goals, job done.
****ing quango retards.
After they've finished using it as a footie pitch it would be a great spot for a BMX or 4X track.
They were discussing this on R4 yesterday and the artists and their sponsors were not very clear on the legacy that the art would leave behind. I suppose the Olympics and associated costs are a bargain when compared with some projects that the govt is spending our tax on.
