Olympic farce. Morning [almost ] folkks from Holland. question. why should any football team profit from taxpayers money, IE a free stadium. Spurs and West ham, are fighting for OUR TAXPAYERS venue, why not keep it as a center of excellence, to promote our amateur track and field, our aspiring footballers, rugby players, cricketers, an alternative venue for raising awareness, and revenue for our up and coming youth.Aussie/South africa has em, why not us, a legacy that will maintain the fact that we hosted ,what I hope will be a great olympics, of the track,,,,, and indoors, promotion of karate, boxing. aikedo, judo, gymnastics, fencing,etc etc, could one day make our small island proud again. could also be used as a music venue, to help make it self sustaining, a little help from national lottery [ my money again ]and a little bit of that shadowy group SPORT ENGLAND........................WTF ARE THEY. Got no answers myself. dont want to see another dome fiasco, where the taxpayer got stuffed, and private enterprise got richer.
No offence o track and field but it is a boring sport, which is why few in comparrison will watch it. The olympics will geta good turnout because its the olympics. But the fact is that stadium will have far more use if a football club goes and uses. If it is left to track and feild it will be a complete waste of money.
If i was in charge i would give WHU the olyimpic stadium (or let them buy it at a knockdown price) and use the cash to re-develop Crystal Palace which is the 'real' home of UK athletics, hammers get the ground they want, athletics as a proper all purpose stadium
