Your theory may gain some traction if the Dems billet Biden in a lead-lined vault until polling day.

Facilities have got to play a part. Specifically, indoor facilities. I know there are a few places like Ravenscraig and Toryglen around the country but there aren't enough for a country with our climate. I coach 2017s and u8 girls and it's mental that we ask these kids to be outdoors in Scotland for 90% of the year, or if we can get indoors its generally in gym with a wooden floor, so less than ideal. How much can it really cost to throw up a big byre and lay a decent artificial pitch? I was speaking to a parent who grew up in Peru and he says that literally every village there has an indoor facility. He reckoned that communities basically built these things themselves, with materials being donated by businesses and work being done by the community. I can imagine planning and building control over here might have something to say about that but surely if football being our national sport is anything other than a meaningless line in a newspaper report it shouldn't be beyond us as a country to be able to do similar?

Maybe I'm alone in that, but for some reason it annoys me. Example:
