Nice. smiley - cheers

I don't know if you can work it in, but A997987 is a very nice EG article about a non-competitive night bicycle ride which I happen to know about 'cos I subbed it!

And hopefully my last suggestion is just to add a little about quite how important the Lilleshall Sports Injury and Human Performance Centre is for football - there's a good article here on the PFA website - http://www.givemefootball.com/display.cfm?article=1579&type=2

Also, before Premiership clubs (and others) all had their own youth academies, there was a single national FA Centre of Excellence which was based at Lilleshall - it produced a few decent players like Nick Barmby and Alan Smith, and I think the last class graduated in about 1997.

Michael Owen was in the school of excellence too - they all went to school at Idsall, but seeing as neither the school nor the sports centre is in Newport, I don't want to talk about it too much.

I concur - but maybe it's worth just a sentence with the rest of the Lilleshall stuff? After all, if you say the word 'Lilleshall' to most football fans they know exactly what you're talking about - but hardly anyone knows where it is!
