I think if you asked any football fan to list three questions to someone who had visited the Olympic stadium for a football match, this post would have answered none of them <laugh>

Went to the Olympic stadium for the rugby last year - was totally unimpressed with the lack of atmosphere, view and general ambience of the place. The only decent thing about it was the reasonable distance to the local mall (mentioned earlier I think - can't remember the name) where one could get some decent scran and a beer ....... But Old Farmhouse, it wasn't :emoticon-0105-wink:

Have to say that I've have been very impressed by the London Olympic Stadium whenever I have seen events being televised. Both the Olympics and the recent Anniversary Games captured some of, what appears to be, a very good atmosphere that the stadium seems capable of producing. Some stadiums are dead whatever the noise in them, and some come alive given the circumstance. I suspect this stadium may be one of the latter. You were impressed by the stadium, Ides. Anymore to say about it from that point of view.?
 
pretty dumb that Oumar Niasse has not been given a number by Everton, he has only taken part in 4 or 5 games since his 13 mil arrival, but that's small change to them now and they have to be looking for the world class players

Ides could right a 1000 page book about anything and it wouldn't answer the three main questions you wanted on whatever the topic was. However it would still probably be one of the best and funniest books you'd ever read and you'd be looking out for his next offering.

The acoustics in the stadium are fabulous. Irons fans arrived, well aware that the Arsenal fans at the Emirates are generally quite quiet so they let it be known that they were not going to be like Arsenal fans so gave the "I'm forever blowing bubbles" the full rendition as the two teams emerged onto the pitch. Thereafter their songs were rather limited, They managed to produce less variation than either Saints or Pompey. I would say getting a ticket in the upper tiers behind the goals leaves you a long way from the pitch (25m), Lower tiers are OK. You will find the usual stalls outside the stadium for burgers or a pork bun. Fish and chips is £8.50!!!! Nicer eateries will be found in the Westfield Shopping Mall. After the game expect to take 30 minutes to get to the station, either mainline or underground such will be the crowds.

Has to go down as one of the worst signings ever. The guy can't play football.
