    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          I mean when you look at the layout of the flats looking down onto the open area, it looks prison-like.

            What was the name of that revolutionary prison system they introduced in Victorian England where the guard station was in the middle and cells radiated in blocks around it so that the guards could see every cell from their station. I think Shepherds' Bush was the first example.

            That's what that looks like.

                      Are those private houses abutting the walls of the stadium?

                                And the dog track.

                                Trying to build a new stadium almost killed us in the late 70's, nice to be doing it the easy way this time.
