Next Picture
The Olympic Stadium was torn down on 15th September but work is nearly complete on its replacement, a revamped San Siro. The ground will have a reduced capacity of about 1,500.
Legoland FC's underfire coach Patrice Loko has narrowly survived a vote of no confidence motion brought by a number of disgruntled club directors and it has been confirmed he will still be in charge of the Old Rule giants for Saturday's visit of Stuart Spacers to the Partizan. Loko, who is suspected of being mentally disturbed, was again the focus of much criticism today after seeing his side scrape a 95th minute draw with Inter in Nalim, a result that leaves the Cartel 5 points off new leaders BFB.
In a press release by LFC News, the club mouthpiece stated that Loko "has kept his job because despite being a poor result against inferior opposition, the draw has reduced the gap between the club and the Serie A table toppers from 6 to 5 points". The paper did nevertheless give Loko a warning. "Should the ND Lander see his minifigs fall any more points behind Legoland United, or lose the Classic on 10th October, the axe will fall."
Elsewhere, the fallout over the demolition of the Olympic Stadium continues with the Emperor explaining that "for safety reasons, in the end it was the only option". The Emperor said that the Olympic Stadium was suffering from subsidence and parts of the terraces were in danger of collapse, injuring or even killing minifigs.
It also emerged that Parma's Kilimanlego owner, Jon Voi, was firmly against the demolition. "It concerns me to see that such a structure, so new and large, be deemed to be at its life's limit. Tearing it down will only present the illusion of a colossal failure of the nation to properly implement a landmark for its people and large waste of money. We are talking about a structure that, with renovations and additions, can be a historical monument to not only the LFA but also to Legoland and Legoland City. The concern of figs having a troubled time getting to the stadium can be solved with better public transportation which will provide a solution to not only this problem but to many more problems in the future. Point is, before any decision is made, it would be wise to view all perspectives of the stud."
