Underwhelmed.
Them there people who decided on this one, instead of something infinitely more spectacular, keep going on about sustainability and serving the community and my dog ate my homework and all that bollocks. All we want is something that looks nice! Sorta pretty, s’pose, but even the guy who designed it – Rod Sheard – admitted that it’s ‘not a stadium that’s going to be screaming from the rooftops’. If only he’d tried harder at school, pop-pickers.

Very disappointing, I must say. So much for a show-stopping Olympics. Seb and Tess and co. should be ashamed of themselves.
It’s the Olympics not Disneyland!
Well they’ll find the money for some alternative hairdressers for one-legged lesbian muslims in the Outer Hebrides, but not for something as CRUCIAL as this. Also very disappointed.
It looks like a toy tambourine. A very skanky one.
I’m guessing the majority of you poofs — I’m allowed to say that, it’s officially non offensive — have never stepped into a stadium to watch sport, so can’t really pass judgement. I say it looks pretty good.
It’s not bad, it’s just not particulary amazing. Sure it’ll be pretty impressive once it’s up and running, but it’s not as ‘wow’ as the first one they tempted us with. Think that’s why people are a bit miffed, if they are miffed.
