    It's Southampton's own Banister Court.

    I remember going to Bristol Rovers ground way back when we were relegated under Lawrie. We won one nil if I recall with a goal from Osgood.

    Their stadium doubled as a dog track and was a mess of old corrugated buildings.

    Well I was going to do a reverse image search, but then I realised the name was in the image URL.

    Great place. I went there once to watch Blithe Spirit, and there's one moment where a bird is meant to appear. As on cue a sea gull landed on the wall just at the right time - how did they do that?

    Also at the end of the performance it became night, and as you looked out to sea you could see this amazing lightning storm coming, with lightning cracking across the sea. The rain held off just in time for us to get back to our cars.

    Hard to say, I don't know the girl or even what country she's from.

    Probably not though.

    Yeah, can't hide that I'm afraid. If I'd have been bothered I could have saved it and sent it from my own computer. That would have hidden it.

    I've been a few times, but the first time was surprisingly good because it was in early-October, and as the night descended it wasn't exactly balmy, shall we say. Nevertheless, all the audience were well equipped, slipping into sleeping bags or under blankets, with occasional nips from the whisky/brandy flask or hot coffee. Been there during the summer and it was also excellent. It almost doesn't matter what's playing, the experience is so good, though I bet Blithe Spirit was great viewing. Agreed that the sea back drop is just stunning. Far off weather, liners, tankers, yachts, you name it, go by.
