Land Rovers manager Steve Hall said this morning that Land Rovers would throw their full support behind Save Our City Centre Sport. "Comments made earlier in the week might suggest Rovers don't support inner city sport which we obviously do" said Hall "but let's face it ideally we'd like to have better facilites with little luxuries like toilets and showers, not available in the Shed of Dreams". Hall however said Rovers would run a competition to see if the new Hilton design was uglier than the existing Shed 1 rusting hulk. "Quite hard to believe that you'd put up a design for a new hotel that was even uglier than the current Shed" said Hall "let's face it only a professional could come up with something that looked like that". Hall said readers should send in their votes as "if that's an iconic building then Lambton House is suddenly looking like the Sydney Opera House".

It's a tough call - but I'd say the Shed is prettier.
The Hilton didn't end sport on the waterfront, you can build a hotel and have sport on the waterfront. However, the council might like now to consider how to accommodate sport down there.
Waterfront Watch have cunningly turned the other end of the waterfront into a swamp feature, all we need now is mosquitos and the job is done. A hotel sounds much better.
