Dear Sir/Madam,

DEAR GREEN PLACES

I hope that Edinburgh Council will ignore Leith Athletic FC's complaints that their pitches are a "write-off" following damage done by the Edinburgh Mela and other important cultural events on Leith Links (Evening News 3rd Sep 2012). After all, their claimed membership of under 1,000 is tiny compared to the masses of people who have enjoyed these events.

In any case, why can they only play on finely manicured lawns? Any real soccer enthusiast will tell you that all that is required is a ball, a muddy field and school caps for posts!
