There was a news report on tv from Coventry during the Olympics, in which city centre traders reported takings being down during the games.

I believe some traders are even looking to sue [not sure who] because they were pretty much instructed to hire extra staff to cope with the rush but the rush never happened.
Interesting post but isn't Ken on record as saying that the only reason he backed/went for the games was to regenerate that part of London?
The fear is that Stratford will become like the Athens Olympic Village - underused and poorly policed.
Manure made £2.5 million for staging Olympic Games at Mould Trafford.We would have been lucky to make 35% of that.A wise move by the club to let it go.
