I remember when London was chosen there were all manner of arguments and much shoutyness about it being in out fair city. Bet your glad it isnt now huh?

Newcastle, I've nearly killed a monkey from G4S (thankfully the police and Staduim security are now running the show), the council are being idiots and have not told anyone around the ground anything.
You can't get into the city centre as half the roads are closed, if you can you can't get around as you need permits to go into the areas around the ground. I got a permit (eventually) after about 2 months of hounding for it, and it looks like the terrorist attack has already struck around the Ground!
