I've never been one for wanting to mix my metaphors but does that mean that, if he were to suddenly deflate, he'd become a black hole?

Was it just me or did it look as though any new bulbs might only have been two or three they found in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere in the office? Still looked dark at the Rooley end to me. I guess the reasoning is that we won't be needing them much this season..

Seemed they'd all been put in one floodlight. The Southbank end was v dark.

To be honest, from my position pretty central in the stand, the South Bank end looked the brighter of the two, just as it had last week - the Rooley end was very dark last week but seemed just a teeny bit brighter yesterday, but still not as bright as the South Bank and, to be honest, still not really good enough. Seems like the notion of finding two or three bulbs at the bottom of the cupboard was probably correct..

On the bright side, the stand exercise dynamo bikes have arrived, and will be installed this week in place of the seating. The wheelchair spots will also be adjusted to be on a slightly backward sloping treadmill so they have to join in too.

I best bring my spare battery in July then...
