On our free excursion of the park in May the emphasis was very much on legacy and accountability (and how many bananas the athletes will consume). Only time will tell. Fascinating TV documentary recently on the construction of the stadium too. We don't often get the chance to gloat about success. Let's enjoy it while we can!Margaretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617787042475515385.post-3002995563697394452012-08-06T21:47:04.182+01:002012-08-06T21:47:04.182+01:00Thanks Claire.

I think you have to be impressed by the sheer scale of the park, it is absolutely massive! And I would rather temporary venues than, for example, a handball arena that will never be used again. Let's face it, it's hardly a sport that is likely to catch on in this country, as fantastic as it is to watch.Summer-Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141455029527492481noreply@blogger.com
