McFaul 35 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 That lass Laura Trott, why aren't all women like her? She's sweet, innocent, humble, unassuming, giggly, what a canny lass. Hope she dominates the sport for years to come because it won't change her, I don't think anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16617 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hoys fatha had to almost beg BC to get a ticket to see his son compete. Meanwhile William & Harry etc are walking in anywhere to see stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14584 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 British Cyclling.... smug pricks employed by the bbc too, just dropping "I was incredibly lucky, I was in the stadium when Mo Farah won the 10k..." into the the conversation when they weren't part of the team covering the event...so theyre paid by public money in the first place, then jam their way into an event that the public in general has to win a lottery to be able to attend...the whole ticketing thing is fuckin abysmal. Dont know why its bothering me as it is always thus, but its like some pricks in the media just want to rub us pleb's noses in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16617 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 British Cycling headed by the bald cath word, Dave Brailsford. No doubt they have done a great job, but he is a wanker of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14584 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 People taking advantage of perks in their job SHOCKER. Well I did acknowledge that I'm not naiive enough to think this wouldnt happen, but if its literally a lottery for even the family members of those competing to get a ticket then the pubically funded BBC should be careful with how they broadcast who is on their guest list. And I'd suggest that even in the world of disgusting corporate nose troughing that we mere mortals shrug our shoulders to and just accept as "just one of those things", Chris Hoy's folks shouldve been given tickets in front of virtually fuckin anybody.

luckyluke 1 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I couldn't agree more with your last point. I'm not entirely who you're raging at though. The bbc employees probably have passes that let them in to media areas. I dont think they all had first dibs on the tickets. Sure, As someone else said, it's British Cycling that nearly didn't give him a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14584 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) It wasnt until he went publicthey got him tickets though Sponsor Proctor and Gamble is also helping Team GB athletes' families with tickets." To be fair, the sponsors in this case redeuce the ticket price by their sponsorship, so they deserve a few to hand out to staff and clients. Fair play to them for helping the atheletes' families out as well, seeing as the BOA would rather give the tickets they should have got to freeloaders from other Olympic Associations. And that still doesnt explain why BBC staff got in for fuck all. Edited August 8, 2012 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
