Still Waters Posted December 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2012 An Essex football fan has spent two months building a homage to his favourite team's ground using Lego. Jason Dorrington, 39, of Gafzelle Drive, Canvey, has built a replica of Canvey Island Football Club's stadium. He said he did not know how many bricks he had used, but the project cost him about £180. Mr Dorrington said his fiancee "thinks I'm nuts" and would like to start using their dining table - currently home to the stadium - again http://www.bbc.co.uk...eshire-20855355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonecrusher Posted December 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) So that's why Colchester's game with Swindon was called off.. They re-built the pitch at the Colchester Community Stadium with Lego bricks. Thanks a bunch for costing us three crucial points.

Oppono Astos Posted December 30, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Must be a new definition of replica; the scale is all off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonecrusher Posted December 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I've just had an eighties flashback.... When I was a little nipper I used to play with Lego bricks a lot. There wasn't really anything constructive about it and my structures had no function. I think I was trying to build a castle but my little Lego man had nowhere to stretch his legs. And besides it wasn't very colour-coordinated anyway with an assortment of different ones. This is why I'm not an architect right now. Btw I've been sub-consciously led to this thread by coincidences. Lego House was playing on the car stereo while my cousin's kid was playing Lego Clone Wars.

Bonecrusher Posted January 2, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He must love his team!!! Is it any wonder I'm excitable. You would be if your team had two consecutive 5-0 wins on the bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since my team (Aris Salonica) scored three times against Atletico de Madrid in Spain (Atletico-Aris 2-3) in December 2010 and became the first Greek team to beat a Spanish one away, i'm always excitable!!

True that, but since the Greek national team doesn't have a stadium on its own, i can't build it with legos!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Swindon Town are after a new stadium which they can construct with water-resistant Mechano! Edited January 2, 2013 by Medium Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
