paranoya Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Several groups are basing themselves here in Sheffield. They're going to be mightily unimpressed if the city isn't ready to receive them. they fly them in to sheffield airport and they could train on all the facilities this council waisted money on for the wsg enough said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn1974 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My friends are all amazed at the facilities available for sport in Sheffield. My son has tried numerous sports and enjoys great coaching in top-class facilities. There was a legacy from the WSG and the children of today are reaping the rewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Why do people who don't care feel the need to letting everyone know? You don't like watching sport then clearly the olympics is not for you. I love sport and will be watching as much of it as I can, keenly - as I try to do with all sorts of other sport all year round. And why not cheer on some Brits for once? Don't worry, it doesn't mean you're a royalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hanson Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm hoping (as a taxpayer) Sheffield is not getting ready or playing host to any part of the 2012 Olympics because we're still paying towards the huge (still rising) debt caused by the World Student Games. London wanted the Olympics so therefore let London pay for them, not Sheffield folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
