Then we’ve got athletes from 72 nations taking part in various disciplines of 20 sports over 10 days with action taking place across the West Midlands, Warwickshire and at the velodrome in fake Stratford.
Anyone gonna be watching? Anybody going to any of it? Anybody interested in the slightest?
Bit gutted not to have tickets for the Opening Ceremony as everyone who’s been to the dress rehearsals has said it’s really good.
I’ve got velodrome tickets for Saturday but can’t get there cos no trains, so the only ticketed thing I’m off to is Barbados vs Australia in the T20 cricket on Sunday evening.
Going to head over to Sutton Park on Friday to watch the bike bit of the triathlon and we’ve got the marathon route about a mile from home but also runs right past where I will be stood on a picket line on Saturday morning.
May pop over to Wolvo next week for the cycling time trial as well.
Got tickets for Sunday evening’s cycling at Lee Valley, then we head up to Birmingham on Tuesday for the afternoon gymnastics session, evening swimming session and then stay overnight and go to the Wednesday morning hockey session.
Looking forward to seeing the new aquatics centre in the flesh.
(it’s pretty uninspiring on the outside, but looks decent on the inside)
Only able to make the one day of it, next Tuesday. In the morning got the athletics and para athletics which has the first round of 100m and two heptathlon events. Then off to the boxing on the evening.
What’s that thing they’ve built behind the coach station going to be used for? Looked like it might be boxing but couldn’t really tell from a distance.
