The It's a Knockout Web -- The IAK Pilgrimage

The It's a Knockout Pilgrimage -- Virtual Pilgrimage

I stood at or near the spot indicated by the orange dot at left, and took a 360° panorama of photographs. Things have changed.

See a version that I haven't mangled.

I enquired to a local resident about the pile of rubble visible there, and they replied "It's always been there". So then I asked, "When did you first arrive here?". Their answer: "1998". Could they be any more useless?

	IAK fans Andrew Gray and Steve Ellison make the pilgrimage on 8th February 2001. The street is officially known as John Radley Ave but as representative of IAK fans everywhere I hereby dub it 'Ricky May Road'. I mean... who the HELL is John Radley?
	Andrew in Ricky May Rd. on the former edge of the big pool, near the small pool, imagining he is competing in 'Superfrog' (big pool was to the right, small pool on left). Stadium seating would have been in background and on right, with scoreboard between them.
	Looking towards the end of the big pool in Ricky May Rd.; the galleon and block of flats (since demolished).
	Andrew stands near end of big pool. Steep and vertical walls would be at left.
	Steve stands in small pool, imagining he is competing for Stirling in 'Slideshot', but waiting for 'Mountain Climbing'. This street is officially known as Athella Ave but I hereby dub it 'Knockout Road'. While I'm at it I hereby rename Caber Close (not shown) as 'MacDonald Smith Road'. We were unable to uncover any archaeological evidence of IAK in our superficial digging.
