Not Needed

A day at the Ricoh Arena on event safety management. The optional stadium tour included a visit to the changing rooms where we passed the seats normally placed in the dug outs for matches.

I won't claim any knowledge of the circumstances which now dictate that the home team cannot play at the ground. I just felt it was rather poignant to see the chairs with the team's badge emblazoned on the back rest. This was further emphasised by ceramic tiles on the walls of the home dressing room with a colour version of the same symbol. The grass on the pitch was lush...........but unused!
