The gym at East Sands is a much better option if you want cheap, modern, quiet, well maintained, friendly facilities! I agree that the Uni sports facilities are "basic" (and that's me being polite!) - we must be the only Uni in Scotland without a swimming pool. With the health of young people being such an issue in the UK, surely some kind of funding should be available to assist us in avoiding couch-potato-fried-marsbar-alcoholicsville! It costs £3.50 for a student gym induction at East Sands. You then get a Fife Card, which costs £5 and lasts a year, which gets you into the gym for £1.50 and the pool for £1.30. And if you're trying to get fit, surely a brisk walk there and back is a good thing?!
Or hey, maybe KFB could sponsor some sports facilities to make good the damage they cause to our arteries every bop-night!
Or we could do what Manchester did and put in a bid for the Commonwealth Games - they are the biggest Uni in the country and their sports centres were absolutely shite until they got the games - then hey presto, loadsamoney! Commonwealth Games in St A's - what a thought. They could use the halls as the athletes accommodation and cram all the students in 3-to-a-room - oh, except they've done that already!
