I think what really pissed everyone off most was that it was that the whole lympics has become a south east event, when something like the mountain biking could have been used to promote great facilities elsewhere in the country.

No other country has concentrated events so much before.

Hadleigh farm will be fine, I'm not saying it'd have been my choice, but they'll make a very tight course with lots of points for spectators to watch, which is the biggest thing.

Once they've finished shipping in 600,000,000 tonnes of earth or whatever it is.  What really gets me is that it will still, apparently, all be torn down/bulldozed after as it's all on private land owned by the Sally Army.

This country has more to offer than that.
