"It's part of the cooncil's drive for renewables - and if Scotland doesn't qualify for the World Cup, Hampden Park is next!"
AS our special feature last week amply illustrated, the Scottish Government has ambitious forestry planting targets, backed up with some seriously good grant incentives.
However, I do believe that one local council in Aberdeenshire went a wee bit over the top recently and planted out the local football park adjacent to Logie Durno primary school, near Inverurie.
Certainly, a back four of static trees would be just about as good for a few Premier League teams whose centre halves ‘couldn’t keep hens oot o’ a midden’ – especially those wearing blue.
