The Scribbler Jul 2013 2:13pm, 22 Jul 2013 2,669 posts	0 The Scribbler I'm really enjoying reading all the blogs and comments. I loved running through the tunnel, starting an Oggy Oggy Oggy, hearing the commentary and Chariots of Fire, knowing the stadium was coming. Then beamed my way round the track and picked up the pace for a bit of a sprint at the end I didn't feel quite so on a high as last year, but I think the whole Olympic anticipation added to it for me then and this year I was coming down off my own tri high.
Meglet Jul 2013 2:15pm, 22 Jul 2013 12,903 posts	0 Meglet You flew past us just before the velodrome HB! Didn't think ere was much congestion from the back of the white wave, I ran quite freely all the way. Not sure if I'd do it again, not that I didn't love it, just to keep it as a special memory.

HermanBloom Jul 2013 2:18pm, 22 Jul 2013 3,661 posts	0 HermanBloom The athletic track has to stay. Or at least I thought that was the one and only stipulation that West ham had to stick to when submitting their prpposal?

Footpad Jul 2013 2:20pm, 22 Jul 2013 5,485 posts	0 Footpad I think you are right HB as the conditions were that at least some sport had to be held in the stadium for the future. Football is just about a sport but obviously West Ham cant play it!
HermanBloom Jul 2013 2:22pm, 22 Jul 2013 3,663 posts	0 HermanBloom Pretty sure it's why Spurs backed out of the process as well, as they wanted a purpose built stadium for football. Unless things have changed since April of course.
