"Not sure we need the pit crew anymore."
The bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, and Roy Keane is on his way to Footballland, taking charge of his very own theme park attraction, Roy Keane's 'Stick It Up Your B*llocks' Dodgems!
Jim Daly, comedian and host of FYP Podcast came up with the idea, and it's now our job to convince Keano to come out to Qatar and tell all the Footballland guests that their driving is sh*te.
PLUS:
Warning, due to the effects of Roy Keane, the final section of this episode contains some strong language. Mostly f*ck.

"I'm two years old. I don't think it's very nice to see your own fans booing you. I don't think it's very nice at all."
We are delighted to unveil Meeting 13 of Footballland, featuring comedian and presenter Tom Deacon's addition to the park - The England National House of Horrors.
In this terrifying experience, guests will walk through a series of shameful rooms, depicting The Three Lions' mostly dismal displays on the international stage over the last 70 years.
PLUS:
- Anthony pitches Alan Hansen's Lost Childhood Youth Team Tournament.
- Mark unveils Luis Suarez's Pacman Maze
- Patron Chris Pinguin sends in a jingle
- And an exciting marketing opportunity: Durex have got in touch and want a ride that's 'sexy but safe.'
Keep your ideas coming - we'll discuss them all in upcoming meetings.
Footballland Explained:
Anthony Richardson has accidentally been given $1 billion dollars by Qatar to build a football-themed theme park in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. He and Mark Davison (Chief Ride Engineer) are in a race against the clock to design and commission the most exciting football theme park rides in the history of amusements.

"It's a sad end to an otherwise successful meeting."
It's been another huge week at Footballland Towers, as we continue to build the world's first football theme park, using the 1 billion dollars we were accidentally given by the state of Qatar.
This week our special guest is none other than WAYNE LINEKER, brother of former England international Gary Lineker, and owner of Lineker's Bar in Ibiza (the future of which is uncertain).
Wayne will be the first to try out the new green room! Mark has constructed a 10 foot by 10 foot fibreglass testicle, lined with plush velvet. From now onwards, guests will sit inside the testicle until they're ready to pitch their idea. We can't wait to find out what ride Wayne has dreamed up!
Also, Anthony unveils the new flagship rollercoaster - the Goalie Coaster. The ONLY rollercoaster where failure to save enough goals gets you placed in a torture isolation tank in the gift shop!
Plus a Patreon pitches the new fairground attraction, Lee Cattermole's Petting Zoo - guests stick their hand in a black box, and have to guess whether the trapped animal within is a cat or a mole.
And Mark brings us his new logistical scheme - Ballboys for Cleaners.
Keep your ideas coming - we'll discuss them all in upcoming meetings.

"Would Princess Diana poo?"
It's another busy and productive meeting at Footballland towers, as this week we invite football writer Nick Miller to pitch his ride.
- Intern Ryan has been out and about collecting sounds of John Carver eating for the ASMR experience at Paul Dummett's Meat And Potato Funfair.
- Mark unveils a new Footballland experience: "Be The Ref," which allows one lucky punter to become Footballland's head of security for the day.
- Anthony suggests a "Day of Silence," in which guests remain silent the entire day at Footballland to remember those in football who have sadly departed that year.

Greetings, Footballland fans.
Footballland the theme park is really coming together, and in meeting 9 we can exclusively reveal FOUR new attractions:
- The International Break hotel, situated inconveniently on the other side of Qatar, is the official hotel partner of Footballland. We welcome guests to stay overnight, as long as they come alone and are not carrying an injury.
- Special guest Adam Savage pitches Zinedine Zidane's Mamma Mia Mayhem, a rollercoaster allowing you to become Zinedine Zidane for 90 seconds, destroying the whole of Italy with your cultured, granite head.
- Patreon James Knowles' "Crazy Gang Experience," which randomly selects 11 guests on entry to the park to beat up random fellow punters until they are ejected from the premises.
- Christmas Fixture Congestion. Mark proposes that on one day of the year opening times at the park are resticted to just one hour, so that guests have to race between rides as quickly as possible.
But sad news from Ryan, who has chatted with the FA. They have some feedback on Footballland's restaurant, Asscoffiation Noshball.

We have another episode of Footballland for you, which features THREE new attractions at Footballland:
- Enhancers Sports Bar. This bar is stocked with performance enhancing drugs, enabling guests to relax, socialise and beat their 100 metre sprint time on the purpose built barside running track.
- National Anthem Autotune. Footballers rarely sing their national anthems in tune, so Mark has come up with the perfect solution.
- Wag's Corner. We invited Joe Comedy Award winner Rosie Holt to pitch her idea, which seems to be a football male brothel. We can't wait to build it.
But sad news, as Ryan has spotted a potential problem with Steve 'Mechanical' Bull.
And we have more ideas from Patrons and members of the public.

In another successful and productive meeting, we welcome two more rides to the world's first football themed theme park!
This week Mark Davison brings us his vision of The Squeaky Bumtime Arena, Footballland's stadium, which is shaped like a bottom. Also we welcome comedians The Delightful Sausage, who bring to the park their Westworld-style experiential ride, Hasta La Vista Cantona.
And finally, may we introduce our newest employee at Footballland, Ryan Baxter (intern). Ryan's job is to iron out any logistical problems that might arise with the new development. His first job is to agree a deal with Leicester Cathedral for the bones of King Richard III.
