What an incredible meeting at Footballland HQ this week. Can you believe that we came up with THREE new things...? Sensational! We are delighted to unveil: 1 ride, 1 facility and 1 naked fighting experience. But which one is which? Sign up to the Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheFootballland


Comedian and Times Columnist George Lewis joined us to pitch The Jaap Stampede, in which park guests can feel what it's like to be a streaker in front of 80,000 people, while chased down by an irate Jaap Stam and his family members, who have all been shaven to make them look like him. Will you beat 11 Jaaps and show off your goolies to the Stretford End?


Many of you have written in demanding there be a ride featuring former Arsenal and Portsmouth striker Nwankwo Kanu. Well, intern Ryan has delved deep down the back of his sofa of ideas and come up with Kanu's Rapid[s], a wet n' wild tubing ride through a scale model of Portsmouth harbour. Just like the great man's performances on the field, some experiences on Kanu's Rapid[s] might pass event free, while others might be the greatest fun you've ever had.


And finally, with FIFA's plans to stage a World Cup every 6 months, Mark has come up with a way to ensure EVERYONE gets a go at international football. Who Do You Think You Aunt? is a service which finds you a blood relative from a tiny FIFA registered micronation such as the Solomon Islands, meaning that you become eligible for a call up no matter what your ability!


And as ever send us your ideas, your jingles, your letters, we'll feature them all! Support our show! https://supporter.acast.com/footballland
