It'll be around 26-27,000 I reckon. I think it holds 52,000 doesn't it?

Just can't get over just how poor the atmosphere is, I've heard more lively cream tea parties.

Indeed. I blame the stadium. On the other hand, 25,000 at the MillStad seemed to be able to generate an atmosphere, but then the MillStad is MILES better.

I'm at OT now and it's quite busy.

70,000 expected tonight.

The fixtures fat lady was warbling, but then she got confused.

Can you fixture someone when they are both his threads?

i would think it might be a good idea to run a new Olympic thread each day as otherwise with the number of different sports (and TV channels) it will hit over 100 pages quite quickly

I'm thinking running specific threads for groups of sports.
Hence the 'all things cycling thread'.

We could get decent conversations going throughout the tournament.

Olympic OT guide "top tip" says you can pay everywhere by Visa or Cash. Guess what? You can't.

Everywhere inside is cash only so I have £9 to feed and provide drinks for a family of four for the next six hours.

f*** sake.
