Just got back from watching the two hockey games this morning, both were good fun although with unfavourable results.
A word on the olympic park though, it is sh*te.
A corporate cesspit that drains the money out the gullible middle classes and unfortunate working class. It's billed as a family occasion, yet I think a family of 4/5 would struggle to feed themselves there with water at £2.30 a bottle, pies at £6, burger at £8, a 99 cone at £2.50 and a bottle of beer at £4.30. Large queues all around for the promised yet non existent spare tickets despite empty seats aplenty. Also they seem to have created a nazi security state where I saw a six year old child being screamed at for walking on an open patch of grass. The people's games; I think not.

The games are expensive to put on mate, having food priced expensively makes perfect sense to me, if it was cheap you'd have people complaining about the games costing the taxpayer even more than it already is.
And those prices aren't a million miles away from what you'd pay at Wembley, or other big football grounds.
Coe said they were going to give spare seats to people already at the Olympic park if possible.

They were advertising around the park all day that you could buy them yet had none for sale

Yeah I understand, and I know Wembley is bad but these were much worse. They did give out free water though which was pretty good.
So many "wtf" moments, watching the gymnastics. Crazy strength and concentration.
If my mum and dad went they'd probably take sandwiches haha
Really starting to wish i'd bought tickets for something now.
LOCOG also said the stadiums were filled 'to the rafters' mate. Can't trust those tits whatsoever.
