2012 olympic stadium

[presto]

what a fucking discrace this is, spending £500 million (and no doupt that figure will rise) on a 25k seater stadium with 55k tempory seats, for a fucking running track.

nobody in this country gives a shit about running / field sports, so why go so overboard on something that only has a use for a few weeks when the olympics is on.

and after the olympics it will be turned into a 25k seater running track, whats the point of that? nobody cares about running in this country, it is simply not a spectator sport to rival the likes of rugby, football, cricket etc....

why not make it into a football stadium? the 'city of manchester stadium' was built for the commonwealth games with the purpose of turning it into a football stadium when the games were over, now the stadium gets gates of upto 60k every other week, and has a usefull function.

i am really pissed off with this huge waste of cash, so the londeners who are paying fore it must be fuming
