In the interests of balance... Im looking forward to the Olympics thread

Yup Stingo I didn't get any tickets either - yet how can one guy get £11k worth and some get none at all.

No bloody interest.

I note the cheek that they have requested the Northwest Ambulance service supply them ambulances and crews over this period. Bloody cheek, we haven't enough as it is, they are overstretched, working overtime etc. We need our services why should London have them, they should have factored them into the costs.

Not one penny should have come from public/lottery money etc. A private firm should have been formed to buy and develop the land and infrastructure and then sell it on afterwards. Why should the good folk of London pay for others vanity games.

corrected for you

I said London as I seem to recall they were having costs associated with this added to their council tax for the next 10 or so years. So that means the good pay, the idle scroungers don't. A political gesture if ever. Ken must have laughed when he set up that arrangement.

That i dont agree with, and im with you that i think its not on. I also dont agree witht he who ticket allocation process full stop. It was/is so complicated and then the money sits in some government account earning interest (Probably offshore as well) and then the punters still dont know what tickets they have until later on in the year, or is it net year? Typical government farce.

But i am still looking forward to watching it next year in the comfort of my lounge on the sofa thank you very much. Bring it on

Why didn't they just put all of the applicants names in a hat and then pull names out? Obviously with a computer system not by hand cos that would take a while....

It's not something that needed to be complicated surely?

Woooo! Go Team Canada! Even though it's the summer olympics, and we never win anything in those......:P
