They seem to be quite actively persuing the Olympics angle. I've got to say it would be TOP DRAWER to think that Olympic football could feature at Falmer.

Unlikely we will get hockey matches, as hockeys played on Astro Turf and not grass. Could get one of the rugby 7 matches which would delight wehatepalace our resident rugby boy.

London has no chance of getting the Olympics and I shall be crossing the channel in 2012 to see some top class athletics and sport in 'Gay Paree'

Sevens has failed in its bid to be included on the roster for the London Olympics of 2012.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) have decided to ditch baseball and softball from the Olympic programme, but will not be replacing them with other disciplines.
Sevens - along with karate, golf, squash and roller hockey - all failed to win inclusion in a vote by the IOC in Singapore on Friday.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here but all venues have been decided? Training, competition or otherwise - I'd love to have Falmer used for something but I thought it was too late??

Is Morris dancing included?
