glasgow sheep Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 They better not being trying to get Team GB to play fitba at Hampden! Quote
Kowalski Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Posted October 15, 2010 Meant to include this. This is the draft schedule where I spotted Hampden: http://media.ticketmaster.com/og/en-gb/img/sys/tournament/london2012/olyschedule.pdf Quote
baldrick_sheep Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 Hope they do so I can go and Boo the english football team. I thought they were supposed to be playing games at Windsor park also? Quote

Given the current state of windsor park there is no way the olympic bigwigs would approve it as a venue Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 Even now, the only thing I see when I look at the Olympic logo is Lisa Simpson going down on her brother... Quote

tom_widdows Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Bad news for Leyton Orient if that gets approval. Quote
manc_don Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Bad news for Leyton Orient if that gets approval. The orient chairman was in the paper a couple of weeks back getting angry about it. Rightly so imho. Still, its better than the spurs proposal, I didn't know one spurs fan who wanted them to move to Stratford. Quote
Kowalski Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 Care factor? Cared enough to open the thread. Quote

Tyrant Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Smashing. A stadium with no atmosphere in the Championship. I'd be gutted if I was a West Ham fan. Spurs fans will be delighted. Quote

Spurs were going to knock it down anyway, because it isn't really a good stadium. I agree about the running track argument, the two sports just do not mix very well. What was the old Olympic stadium in Munich like for Atmosphere? Quote

Why would this effect Leyton Orient, excuse my ignorance? Quote
manc_don Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Total shite, universally hated. Why would this effect Leyton Orient, excuse my ignorance? Their stadium is 1 mile from the Olympic ground, and they are actually a reasonably well supported team. I think they are fearful of losing a support, but personally I don't think it will make much of a difference? Quote

I think they are fearful of losing a support, but personally I don't think it will make much of a difference? I think they're maybe fearful of losing potential supporters. Perhaps youngsters will be more swayed by the big (possibly) Premiership side Quote
Kowalski Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 Football grounds with running tracks round them can seem a bit lacking in atmosphere, do Hammers fans want this move? Agreed, however I think it seemed the only option as they need to keep the running track IMHO, and without the help of a football team it would turn into a white elephant and only used for major athletics championships. I'm not sure how popular it is with Hammers fans. Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 I think they're maybe fearful of losing potential supporters. Perhaps youngsters will be more swayed by the big (possibly) Premiership side West Ham are also suggesting they will be selling off cheap tickets to schools etc so they can at least give it a good go at filling the stadium (Upton Park only holds 35000) There are also apparenlty FA and premier league rules about bigger clubs moving into areas with established clubs so whilst the olympic lot have given them the backing they still need consent from the FA etc to move there.

Madbadteacher Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Sorry. I care now. If they hadn't planned beyoned 2012 for a use for the stadium, surely it shouldn't have been/is being/be built? Quote
