A bit less sophisticated than the organisation for the 2012 games! Great photo, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely one isn't it? Imagine the AA turning up in a pseudo military uniform complete with a peak cap today! The tree lined walk up Olympic way looks lovely. So very different to the flats and hotels there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s disgraceful that no one is standing at the bottom of the ladder to make sure it doesn’t slip given that it’s on grass. There’s no cones keeping the public away, no hi viz jackets , the van is parked on the wrong side of the road with no visible warning signs and I bet no risk assessments were done. It’s an accident waiting to happen. RadioactiveWaste and Turk Thrust 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the importance of pointing fans in the right direction (after all, the stadium is difficult to see from that location 😀) far outweighed any health and safety regulations.
