What!?  I read this several times and still can't believe what I've just
seen.

Did no-one even consider looking at
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=w4+2sh&sll=51.
242392,-0.172088&sspn=0.006408,0.013733&ie=UTF8&ll=51.474434,-0.260968&spn=0
.006375,0.013733&t=h&z=16 (or equivalent) and asking exactly where/how the
TD was hoping to put 25 pitches?

Just to clarify... I'm not taking shots at the TD, but I probably am taking
a shot at the UKUA - I'm astounded that a check even this simple wasn't
conducted.

Could someone please detail precisely what information from a bid document
is checked for reasonability?
E.g. will you tell me if my bid doesn't include enough toilets, showers,
etc?

Last time I checked, the bid doc does require information about most
features of a tournament, and I'd rather hope that the information required
is actually used for something!
