Olympic Stadium/2012

Is that it ?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

It's like the Nou Camp, the Maracana and the City of Manchester stadium all rolled into one!

7/10

 

[Bozza]

Looks like Bournemouth a few years back with loads milling around outside the ground...

 

[Billy the Fish]

Bit underwhelming isn't it.

True, but after the Wembley f*** up, it's possible they've learned their lesson to keep it simple.

Everything will be OK with this if they don't let Ken Bates anywhere this.

the old KISS strategy - bet they still struggle to deliver on time though

 

[Scotty Mac]

i like the MASSIVE pebbles around the outside

I thought they were MUSHROOMS

 

[JJ McClure]

Looks fine to me, my only concern would be that knowing the British weather it ought to be a bit more roofy.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Looks nice

Its a shame it wont be used for athletics afterwards

It will be, it's going to be scaled down it 25k once they remove the temp seating, with the BOA looking for tenant football or rugby club

 

[Napper]

I think it looks awesome

 

[Woodchip]

I quite like it, especially with the cave drawings on the outside.

 

[Scoffers]

i think it looks shite

 

[Scoffers]

and why have they left the scaffolding on?

 

[London Calling]

behinds the scenes, there are still discussions with West Ham.

Although I'm a big supporter of the Olympics, I find this distinctly underwhelming. What happened to that cool muscle-inspired design? Well at least they've found a use for Wembley's old floodlights.

It was just a design and no more. Because of the fear of over running with the budget, if they build an untested innovative design, they are sticking with a bog standard layout, that can be very (relatively) easily adapted after 2012.

it looks ok, lets hope they dont get Multiplex to build it otherwise it will never be ready for the 2016 olypmics

How do you convert an 80 thousand seater into 25? Do you just spread the seats out? Are every other seat a temp' seat?

And Finally are we going to get a good rate for the temporary seating we sub let onto them if we are in Falmer in time!
