WORLD CUP SPECIAL - COME ON ENGLAND
World Cup Latest - Officials Say Work Will Be Completed.
Work in South Africa is nearing completion just in time for the opening ceremony of the 2010 World Cup Finals. Our photographers and reporters have been catching up with the progress so far. Our team are ever optimistic but a few comments did cast a little doubt on everything being ready. Harry Cannon, our photographer with over six hours experience, and known as “Flash” in the trade, sent an Email saying that if everything was finished in time he would show his bum in Burtons window. Our overseas sports reporter, known as “Scoop,” is not too confident either, and has taken up a night school class knitting fog. The South African Ministry of Transport have overspent by about £35 on new roads leading to and from the stadiums. A spokesman told us that they refuse to cut corners and everything will be ready on time.
New Roads to the Stadiums
BEST WISHES TO SOUTH AFRICA
1st Class Hotels
New hotels are nearing completion and many builders have been working through the night, some without light or power, which can lead to mistakes as shown in our photograph, left.
South Africa is a nation that has seen it’s fair share of racial problems but have shown the world that problems can be overcome. Sport can be a huge platform to promote racial harmony as they have done with their Rugby and Cricket teams. They have the honour this year of hosting the Football World Cup and we wish them every success for a fantastic tournament and international spectacle. There will be lots of photo opportunities for all the different nationalities, but we would remind all the teams that it is important to smile if you want to be recognised.
Public Transport has been improved and open top team coaches have been introduced for the comfort of all the players. Above. Finally, we can confirm that the South African Football Authorities have been consulting the ground-staff at Wembley in order to provide top quality playing surfaces. A statement from the press office at Wembley said: “ Why are they asking us ? We haven’t got a clue !”
Top playing surfaces.
The wonderful Wizard of Oz Retired from football because,
When he tried to run fast, His legs didn't last 'Cos he wasn't the wizard he was.
