Bumping this thread - it would be good I think to have a thread to grumble, criticise and debate peripheral issues. I suggest if individuals are really into the swimming or showjumping they start a specific thread for that sport. I am just going to start an Olympic Athletics thread.
Just listening to the too ha about the security arrangements. Oh dear. I've managed recruitment and training projects in the past. Bitten off more than they can chew. What would I have done with the benefit of hindsight loco - split the contract of course so all your risk is not put in one place. By giving such a huge contract to one company you Create a risk. It would have been better to have one company to do the Olympic park but give the contracts for the other venues do other local companies. A symptom of the "big company thinking" that is damaging this country.
