Meanwhile the Cougars have plans for a £5m stadium re-development....

Well, yeah we had [i:4zd77ordplans[/i but you have to wonder how they're going to accomplish it. Is the ground still owned by the Co-op btw, or am I way out of date?

Depends upon which section they get the books from - Fiction or Non Fiction

We had a mania for stadium plans before they did.

Bring back Mike O'Neill, he could do the Steve Long gig as well.
"Ladies & Gentlemen, boys & girls, what time is it? It's stadium mania time. Let's hear the war cry."
