Click away now if you don't want to hear a London 2012 rant - but this has made my blood boil.
They are going to build a multi-million pound stadium for track and field in (I think) east london. Regenerating a poor area and (I thought) leaving a legacy for local people school children etc to have a top class venue to run around in and have a go at sports and train new people etc etc
But apparently the plan is that the stadium will not be cost effective after the olympics.
So they want to tear down the multi-million track and field stadium, sell the land to a football club, who will then build another stadium for their team.
AIBU to think that this is a pile of shite. And what happened to the olympics leaving facilities for the public? Ha. Plus the government get loads of cash from selling off prime development land that they wouldn't have been able to sell before.
