It's been another incredibly successful meeting at Footballland HQ.
Anthony has added a nostalgic feel to the theme park, in tribute to those times in the 1970s when a dog always seemed to make its way onto a football pitch. His idea is very simple - we let loose a live dog in the theme park, while someone dressed as a referee has to catch it, then chuck it back over the perimeter fence.
PLUS, comedian Poppy Hillstead pitches her ride idea - The Teddy Sheringham Blimp. It's a giant blimp in the sky shaped like Teddy Sheringham, which you can climb inside and play poker and eat fish and chips. But will Poppy's idea pass Anthony and Mark's stringent vetting process?
AND patron Nick Dunmore is back to explain his ride idea - Downsize Fitz Hall
BUT sad news, as there seems to be a problem with The Cristiano Ronaldo Hall of Mirrors.
As ever, send us YOUR ideas for rides, sideshows, jingles, anthems, statues, mascots! We need to build this park quickly!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
