Royal Society Fellows have discovered that Stonehenge was used as a Football Stadium after its deep Ditch had yielded no Coal. Ancient energy mining prospector, LORD Fellow of Woodhenge, converted its white Ditch chalk pilings into Bleachers for enthusiastic area Sport fans.
Eleven (11) Gaps between six-foot tall Banks of the discovered Eleven (11) Bleachers made for quick and easy Latrine access to the Ditch, according to Royal Society Fellows, before the six-foot deep Toilet silted in.
Football Stadium Bleachers / Latrine
LORD Fellow of Woodhenge constructed a Ticket Line area with timber posts in the Ancient sunny northeast Avenue Entrance, with Players coming and going Freely through a southern Lower Entrance. Royal Society Fellows also found that Football became popular soon afterward.
Fifty-Six (56) Fence Posts separating the Eleven (11) Bleachers full of enthusiastic Sport fans were found in a Circle around the Stadium playing area. Horizontal fence Rails prevented Crowds from storming the Field.

Two (2) Goals at opposite ends Perpendicular to the Rising Sun served as Fair Lighting for both Team Sides and were constructed of Four (4) Station Stones, two (2) for each Goal. "Laws of the Game" developed with Number of white Ditch pilings made by LORD Fellow of Woodhenge.
Royal Society Fellows concluded Sport fans of Eleven (11) Banks and Sport fans of Eleven (11) Bleachers must have agreed the "Laws of the Game" were a lineup of Eleven (11) Players representing them to "Foot the Ball".

Today, the most prestigious International Football competition is the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup, founded 5,000 years ago at Stonehenge. It is the most widely viewed in the World, boasting an Audience twice that of the Summer Olympic Games.
Championship Awards numbering in the Hundreds stand as a Testimony to the many Teams who competed at STONEHENGE: A Football Stadium. Abandoned due to its Success, there were too many Trophies on the Field.
After Woodhenge Warriors' Men's Football loss in the 3100 (BC) Olympic Games to the Durrington Wallers (7-6) at Stonehenge Amphitheatre (alternatively Amphitheater), the Warriors changed their Olympic Men's and Women's Teams' name to "Willers". In the 3096 (BC) Olympics, it was the Woodhenge Willers over the Durrington Wallers in that infamous Sudden Death Match overtime thriller. 1-0 final score. In the Women's Archery competition, it was the Willers over the Wallers also, following their Men's Archery competition victory. Willers' Olympic Men's and Women's Teams dominated the 3096 (BC) Games and were so popular after those Olympics that even the River Wylye (one of eight rivers draining the area) was renamed (previously called Warriors River).
The Sudden Death of 'the body from the ditch' (Stonehenge discovery of 1978) caused by multiple Arrow Wounds in the back, said body on display at Salisbury Museum, sadly occurred during the 2300 (BC) Olympic Games' Women's Archery competition at Stonehenge Amphitheatre. Archery Judge Wallers Willers' (known as Backside Bullseye here at State Press) untimely death, referred to as a Stonehenge Sentinel Skeleton (SSS) by Dennis Price, archaeologist (Stonehenge expert) and described in This Is Wiltshire Network (Gazette & Herald, 7 March 2008), unfortunately occurred at said Amphitheatre when Archery Judge Wallers Willers (SSS) made an untimely movement from behind the Judge Honor's guard (target Game shield) causing His Sudden Death.
Later the town of Wilton and county of Wiltshire adopted their names in their Honor.

Salisbury Museum "the body from the ditch" Exhibit The "Stonehenge Sentinel Skeleton" SSS Theory
Was the SSS's name The Right Honourable Archery Judge Wallers Willers who got killed in that tragic Target Archery accident, or was the SSS's name The Right Honourable Archery Judge Willers Wallers who got killed in that tragic Target Archery accident?
Stonehenge Archery's deceased Field Target Archery Judge's last name must have been Willers, not Wallers, because Wiltshire would be called Waltshire if it was, which of course it is not. Likewise, Stonehenge Archery's deceased Field Target Archery Judge's first name must have been Wallers, not Willers, because Wiltshire would be called Waltshire if it was, which it is not. Us here at State Press who have investigated this matter, therefore, are going with "Stonehenge Archery Judge Wallers Willers", not "Stonehenge Archery Judge Willers Wallers", unless you have a better foundation of historical information at your disposal than any of us.
Here is how it will be printed with His name unreleased: "UK, Wiltshire, Salisbury Museum exhibit 'the body from the ditch' SKELETON was a Stonehenge Archery Judge who inspected an Archery Field Target at Stonehenge prematurely, a volley of Archers' Arrows accidently causing His death from behind." And here is how it will be printed with His name released: "UK, Wiltshire, Salisbury Museum exhibit 'the body from the ditch' SKELETON was Stonehenge Archery Judge Wallers Willers, deceased, who inspected an Archery Field Target at Stonehenge prematurely, a volley of Archers' Arrows accidently causing His death from behind."
Sentinel: Middle French sentinelle, from Old Italian sentinella, from sentina vigilance, from sentire to perceive, from Latin, year 1579, an Archery Judge is a Sentinel of Archery, vigilant and perceptive. Olympic Games Judges - Sentinels of respective Sports, therefore "SSS Theory" unified.
Stonehenge Free Festivals Were Completely Wonderful...
Now that A TEXAS TYCOON has funded All Highways Agency costs for Stonehenge Airman's Corner, Winterbourne Stoke, Longbarrow and Countess Roundabouts' improvements; All Highways Agency costs for Stonehenge Visitor Centre at Airman's Corner (and the Centre itself); and All Highways Agency costs for Stonehenge A303 / A344 / A360 dual carriageway long-bored tunnels, when is Highways Agency going to A TEXAS TYCOON's Avenue Banks' Heelstone Vault for withdrawal of deposited funds? The reason I ask is that nobody at The Royal Society, Council for British Archaeology or Wessex Archaeology knows when Highways Agency A303 / A344 / A360 Stonehenge Improvement Programme will begin. Thank you.
