How many footballs, rugby balls, full team kits, cricket bats, wickets, balls, whitewash for marking running tracks, etc etc etc could Seth and his team buy to promote more sports in schools with that sort of money ?
Because that seems to be the only vindication offered.
Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.
The paucity of the argument in favour of hosting the Olympics is never more obvious than when those not in favour are labelled as miserable fekkers. I too have a real issue with £10 billion worth of public funds being wasted on such a non-event in the same way as I had a real issue with the huge waste of public funds on that other non-event recently called the Queens Jubilee.

'There's been a couple of times during my career when I've thought about moving elsewhere but, when I run out in front of 17,000, 18,000 people at Headingley, I've thought 'nah, this is the place for me'.

I totally agree. But £10 Billion Really, there was no way that these events could be put on for less? I would love to understand how much of the spend was about the sport and how much was about showing a very small minority a very good time. I am sure there will be many great legacy items, stadiums etc left behind after the events have finished. But £10 Billion, £10000000000. You can a do an awful lot of good in the world for that kind of money.
