Well said John and that is where the olympics should be held. What an imposition put upon country's to build a stadium for a few weeks play when the money could be spent on a bells and whistles one in Athens and all participating country's pay a levee for its upkeep. How many bloody stadiums are there that are redundant around the world. As you pointed out it would also help Greece with its economy. No the reason for it to be done elsewhere is just so that the fat cats can grandstand and make more money out of the contracts while throwing up a substandard stadium.
That's the way the mop flops.
My thanks to Brian for this site.
