Applied for two events, got nada - I'll try again for something the next time round ; disagree with the system in so much that it allowed those who have more money to gamble to have a much better chance of getting something, but realise that not everyone can go to the events they want. Just hope to get something semi-decent to say "I was there".

And Ovett over Coe every damn time.

I have two tickets to see the badminton and two for the football. Pretty happy with that although neither of those events are at the Olympic park so might have to take a detour through there on the way to Wembley.

Premier Inn have released their hotel prices... £200 per room per night... The great Olympic Rip Off has started...

EDIT: Actually to be fair... It seems that Premier Inn rooms are regularly over £100... Still its a hefty hike...

To all those looking for Olympic accomodation around London, i finally got mine sorted tonight, Best Western hotels had a triple room (3 singles) for £75 a night! Slightly out of central London (ours is in Harrow but seeing as we're going to Wembley it's not a million miles away). All seem to have good guest ratings and are 3 stars. Seemed like a rather good bargain! :D

hang on though ... maybe I misread the London Riots thread, but weren't you critising Neil for not living by example (contributing to the consumerist society when believing against it). How is contributing to the poor being priced out of a sporting event, while believing against it, any different?

I don't believe either of you are wrong in the actions you've done and the lives you lead, but it seems like double standards from you when looking at what you've posted in other threads.

BBC to show some coverage in 3D

http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-coverage.html

Oh and apparently VirginMedia customers with their TiVo service will get access to all 24 streams covering all the events via a new BBC Sports App for the service.

then we shouldn't carry on with the dismantling of the NHS

I'd have thought that'd give a pretty bad image too

possibly worse in the long run

definitely worse for its citizens

or is the image more important?

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/

      I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.
