It’s the worst rule. Players can just go down holding their heads anytime they challenge for a header and it’ll stop the game. When defending a narrow lead, why wouldn’t you?
Hayes still there and operational.Quote:

I think that posters on this thread are simply going through the motions.
Those toilets were horrendous. They absolutely stunk and there were some real dodgy people hanging around by there. The urinals were designed beautifully though, like a light black marble if i remember correctly.Quote:

Yes, remember it well.Quote:

I don't for one moment expect it to be operational, but I was thinking the actual fountain recess in the wall, along with the cherubs (right?), might be listed in some way.
That’s the one, not operational now. Inscription something like, ‘Jesus says whosoever shall drink from this fountain shall thirst again but whoever drinkers from the water I provide shall never thirst’. Much needed amenity I’d imagine when first put there.Quote:
