Over the years we have noticed that more
wacky stories seems to come out of
Romania that elsewhere.
A soocer club plans to stop pitch invasions by installing a moat full of crocodiles around the pitch. Fourth division club Steaua Nicolae Balcescu has been order to tame its thugs or face expulsion from the league. The clubs chief Alexandra Cringus said the croc plan was no joke.

Let's say you own a soccer team, and, after watching a few games, you've noticed a severe problem with your club that is bordering on the edge of epidemic.
It seems after every game, your fans decide it'd be a good idea to charge the field and beat each other up and what not.
What do you do?
If you're this guy Alexandra Cringus (at least we think that's a guy's name), you dig a medieval-style moat around the field and fill it with - this is so obvious - crocodiles.
''This is not a joke,'' Cringus, who owns a soccer club in Romania, said in an edition of the London Daily Mirror. ''The moat will be too wide to jump over. Anyone who tried to cross it would have to deal with the crocs.''
couldn't find the original in the mirror (crap newspaper...)
