That bit, at least, didn't go quite as planned, I seem to recall. You had quite a lot to say about it at the time!
This is not necessarily a complaint...as someone might say....

The Marshgate Lane business park didn't become the official broadcast centre, but a few broadcasters did make use of it. It turned out that a stack of portakabins in a car park next to a caff gave quite a decent view of the stadium, and was used by the likes of ESPN - not a rightsholder, but still keen to cover what was going on inside the fence from somewhere that looked like it was nearby.

Suddenly realised I'm reading The Independent and not having Ground Hog days. Mon - version one of story, Tues version 2 of story, Wed version 3 of story, Thurs version 4 of story....ok, you're tired of that now are you? ..Fri version of story we've finally committed to. Sat - 'we told you that' version of the story. Sun, so, here's what we're focusing on now... ad infinitum .....

I do wonder if somewhere in Paris a blogger is writing about how bad things still are at the sites where the Olympics would have had a "positive" impact. Do they look back now an think that perhaps they were better off without it? That the money could have/has been put to better use? That the "legacy" is just an ideal and not a reality for most citizens.

As WCH commented yesterday at 12:32pm, one wonders what happened to the people/businesses that were displaced by the Olympics developments. Those who were shabbily treated, such as the Manor Gardens allotment-holders, must find it a bittersweet experience to visit the QEOP, as they were originally granted use of the land "in perpetuity". Perpetuity turned out to be about 100 years in their case.

Where do those trains go during the day now, dg, seeing as they can't use the sidings which eventually became the Olympic Park?
