@Herman: It's a sham, and everyone knows it. Football stadia with running tracks are awful - ask any Italian (if you can find any in their half-empty grounds). The "retractable seating" is just a laughable fig leaf, similar to the imaginary "air conditioning" that will supposedly make Qatar a suitable place to play the World Cup - a foolproof plan with only one minor flaw - that the technology doesn't exist. If it was workable then every club in Italy would be falling over themselves to install it. The running track will go. There will be a few years of legal wrangling, posturing and negotiating over penalty clauses, but it will go. |

Well I would assume that in the 99 year lease is a watertight clause that says "you keep the running track otherwise you are in breach of contract and we take back the stadium", hence why Spurs backed out. But given it would be years and years until I was sorted out either way, this event can carry on for a fair few years I would think. |

are you searching for HellsBells or your real name? You can have as many of my photos as you like, they're all dreadful and highlight just how round I am!

If you were wearing a pink cap, with a purple top and yellow shorts then that search engine on the site would probably do the job. Given 90% of the people were in blue tops though, I'm no sure how that type of search helps

Don't think all the photos are on yet. There's ones of me from the finish line but no others yet.

If it's like the Bupa 10k they'll stick some on initially and then add more over the coming days.
