You are absolutely right about the Stadium being kept for Athletics, Crystal Palace is a very tired – and small – venue for our London Athletics centre. However no matter how much pride we have taken in our Athletes these last 2 weeks I don’t think the tax payer wants to foot the bill for the Stadium going forwards and Athletics doesn’t have the money that football has.
Depressingly we are heading towards another football season and the grit, graft, personal sacrifice and national pride we have witnessed will now be superceded on the TV with the overpaid histrionics of football – our ” national sport ”
I hope we can stop lauding them and now turn our praise and admiration towards those that have made us all proud.
