The Gnoll (Welsh: Y Gnol) in Neath, Wales is a sports ground, with a capacity of 5,000.
In July 2009, Neath RFC presented plans for the redevelopment of the Gnoll, including building a community centre on the site, which were criticised as "too woolly".
The Gnoll is the traditional home of Neath RFC, one of the leading Welsh clubs in the pre-regional era of rugby. The ground has a capacity of 7,500.
Welsh Premier League club Neath Athletic played at The Gnoll between 2008, and their liquidation in 2012. The ground hosted its first ever football match when Neath Athletic played Swansea City in a pre-season friendly in July 2008.
The Gnoll started to host some Glamorgan championship fixtures in the 1930s, and in 1954 an indoor cricket school was opened at the site. However, problems with the pitch meant that from the late 1960s the ground was only used for one-day matches - in 1969 the Gnoll staged the county's first-ever home game in the Sunday League. In 1974, the Gnoll was dropped from the county's 1st XI fixture list, although it played host to Glamorgan's matches against the touring Australians in 1985 and 1993.
Woke up into a dream and I was walking
Up and down the streets of Cairo
And then I heard a voice that said, ?I know you
It?s time for you to turn and face me?
Her hair was long, her eyes reached out and touched me
She said, ?I know just what it is you?re after?
Death is all around you
So, you look for freedom
I know where to find it
Let?s go to the river
We sailed upon the Nile, I was enchanted
By the beauty in her magic
She showed me that my fears were unimportant
Then she touched me with her vision
Her skin was dark, her voice was liquid fire
She said, ?I am your mate and soul?s desire?
Love is all around you
Light is deep within you
Life is always flowing
Let?s go down the river
Her skin was dark, her voice was liquid fire
She said, ?I am your mate and soul?s desire?
Love is all around you
Light is deep within you
Life is always flowing
Let?s go down the river
Why should we [Incomprehensible]
I know it's what you feeling
I know where you going
Down by the river
Come and hit it with fire
