Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
So this is a video of former mayor Ken Livingstone being stopped in Westfield for filming without pemission.
Listen to what he says at about 1:10.

It seems as though Westfield are supposed to allow the thoroughfare between the stadium and the shopping centre to remain open.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Heineken have the pourage rights at the Stadium and there's now 2 kiosks selling Lagunitas - by 144 and the STB screen. Even better on Saturday it was only £3 a pint - I did miss the last 10 minutes of the first half for the first time ever and went and had a few more which cheered me up slightly! Will also be £3 a pint for the Arsenal match - you need a voucher from the guys handing them out in front of the kiosk (they'll give you as many as you want):

Good news. The wi-fi worked like a dream.
The bad news. I got the notification it was available just after they scored their second. It allowed those who so wanted to freely express the dismay of the on pitch shenanigans, to freely vent their spleens online without bring held back by lack of signal.

Very interesting but they'll probably use public safety and crowd control etc to get round itCoops wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 5:01 pm So this is a video of former mayor Ken Livingstone being stopped in Westfield for filming without pemission.

20,758 in pitch sports mode (i.e. with the temporary seats in place). There's also an additional 253 in the Billy Bonds Stand infill between the upper and lower tiers and 1,416 in the West Stand middle.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Isn't it half price rent if we go down
So about £50k per game, massive losses for the operator as I bet they have to open the whole stadium etc etc
Brady will have done them up like a kipper on the contract

I used to live in Hackney Wick. It has always been a local station on the North London line. It was never dreamed that it would have to cope with hundreds of people at a time, let alone thousands.

Whoever it was that went up against Brady, must ever since, have been having some very angry nightmares about her. They were indeed, done up like a kipper.
Probably got a voodoo doll of her now, as well..

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
This Saturday versus Spurs it was officially a broken down train, no trains after the game. I walked over Victoria Park to Bethnal Green station. Five minutes away I saw a train heading towards Hackney Wick and Stratford, so not sure if if cleared soon after, or it was out of service.
The Newcastle game the line was down further west of Highbury and Islington. Surprised to find it was still down after the game. Would be nice if issues were either announced or shown on the big screens to help avoid confusion and frustration.

All those thousands left on the waiting list will be able to nab a season ticket no problem . Will the club be trumpeting the worst season ticket renewal rate ever?Pop Robson wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 7:18 pm STs will be like when we went down in 2003
