The London Taxpayers' Stadium Shambles

Enjoy it you bitter w******s

there will be retractable seats on the track
Spur of the moment
Frederic Kanoute
oh yes, but only 'at vast cost to the taxpayer.' (Independent).
I think somebody failed his math classes. That's half a mile, you'd be inside the shopping mall or something.

Apparently it takes a crew of 100 labourers 7 days to put the retractable seats in place which equates (at £20 per hour) to about £336k each time they need to change the layout!
Mind the gap...

Correct, even 840 feet wouldn't make sense as it would be roughly 2 and 2/3 football a pitch or the full length of USS Wasp, the largest Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) in the World.

More like 84metres surely?

Hmm... off-topic, but I thought the America and the Tripoli were both marginally larger?

Ok I stand corrected. Only marginally, it's like 10 - 30 feet in length and 4,000 tonnes, which equates to roughly 160,000 25kg Bags of sand.

Nah it could be 84 feet maybe but that's about it
I've been there a few times due to work and the rear seats are a fair way away and will not be good foot football but the maximum distance IMO is about 30 metres away
To give you an idea it would be like the top tier at Wembley imo

Oh, definitely, it's only a marginal difference, and they're both much larger than any other LHD/LPDs out there at the moment: I think the Ocean only tops out at half that total displacement fully loaded, for example. So, it isn't wise to be too nit-picky.
Anyway, hrhrmm, back on topic, Olympic Stadium. Bit of a shambles, by all accounts.

That's not the topic.
