*gasp* - if you remember one of my previous posts, I said something about converting the "Floating Platform" at Marina to a football pitch. Apparently, this is already in the works! (and was announced some time in April this year i think)

(news article from Yahoo news)

SINGAPORE : It has been turfed resplendently green and the lines have been drawn. When goalposts with nets are fitted at both ends, the facility will be ready for football action.

The Singapore Sports Council say matches can be held there after Formula 1's SingTel Singapore Grand Prix 2008 race on Sep 28.

Football enthusiasts will be excited, because for the first time games will be played on an artificially-turfed pitch floating on water against a spectacular Singapore skyline that will surely whet the players' appetites.

Bizarrely, some tourists actually saw it first from the Singapore flyer! (photo from Four Go RTW) You can make out the floodlights and the penalty area, etc..

Hopefully, the prices for the tickets will be nothing like the F1 race, or the Brazil vs Singapore match.....
