we've got a fair few in Sheffield as well in the last month. A couple seemed to go up exactly where the Occupy lot had been occupying about a week after they were kicked out. Coincidence? hmmm......

Darned good idea tho

 

[Roadkill]

Yes, there were a few dotted around Hull the other month too. What are they for?

 

[MrSki]

So, how do they stop people half inching the bats and balls?

I'd have thought ball loss would be a serious problem.

You have to register on their website by providing credit card details and a scanned copy of your passport linked to your Facebook account before they release any balls.

Actually I don't know.

A black market trade has already opened up.

My first thought was it must have something to do with the Olympics & Bonkers Boris.

In France they usually have a Boules or pétanque court and a few concrete table tennis tables in nearly every town and village square, I alwasy thought his was something which should have been replicated in the UK but lets face it how long before some yob would smash some ones head in and the bats or boulles would be classified as a dangerous weapon...

People use their own bats and balls.

They're provided here. Or at least they were. Might well have been nicked by now

Probably some firm of plan to replace youth workers

Sorry they are for the decriminalisation of drugs but against the re-introduction of the death penalty.
