A bit of fun its friday! A few months ago we had a thread of picking our top 5 zoos/safari parks etc. I would like to try a sort of knockout competition just to see if we end up with the same kind of result (a bit like the FA cup of Zoos ) if you like. I have picked out 64 of the top zoos/parks in the UK and have included both Jersey and Isle of Man. and drawn them out at random. So it will be Avs B for instance.
This is how the scoring will go
1. If you have visited 1 point (you may have visited both so one each)
2. You have visited neither but your choice would be 1 point
3. If point 1 is a draw your personal preference gets a further point.
So we will give it a go
First Group
London vs Shorelands ( 1-0) Based on visits
Paignton vs Coombe Martin (1-0) Based on I would like to visit
Shepreth vs Drayton Manor(1-0) Based on visit
Dudley vs Manor House (1-0) Based on I would like to visit
 
based on visits

London 56 Shorelands 2
Paignton 11 Coombe Martin 0
Shepreth 1 Drayton Manor 2 (possibly more)
Dudley 19 Manor House 0

How can you compare a collection that has closed with one that is still open,Fife Animal Park is no more,and I for one will not mourn its loss,as it was one of the worse places I have ever had the displeasure of visiting!
