Two large spheres, under wraps and fenced off, have recently appeared in John Frost Square. My first thought was it had something to do with the upcoming 2010 World Cup (football), but the most likely explanation is oversized golf balls in view of the 2010 Ryder Cup being held at the nearby 2010 course. There is already a digital clock http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1877955 in a corner of the square, counting down the days, hours and minutes remaining till the start of the Ryder Cup on October 1st 2010. Update : the mystery objects are spherical fountains. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1912779
