Olympics flaming hell how many cops do you need to monitor an empty stadium. Had to park in Tesco and walk up to the ticket office to get my season ticket, scarf etc. What is it with all the huge sandbags, totally over the top. Any way got my ticket, new shirt, only £11 something with the voucher for some reason got another £3.50 discount, so a bargin!! Ticket office well manned as well. Role on the 18th!!
Be thankful you're not delivering anything to the stadium. I worked at the football stadium for the 1996 Games in Athens, Georgia with American cops. It took time to search the trucks for bombs etc, they found several handguns in the drivers cabs but they were licensed to carry a concealed weapon. We crept into most of the matches in uniform and found pretty good seats. I worked at 2000 Games as well, but didn't get the football again........just the beach volleyball!
I got my season tickets yesterday too with my sons and paid £14 for the shirt with my voucher? I feel violated, I could of saved enough for an extra pint ffs not happy
You may have a point Ashdown, but it might also be testament to the disastrous foreign policies of UK governments and US Presidents over the past 15 years or so...........:thinking about:
