Jimm, if you read Plurien's post he makes mention of this
**Every meeting about the legacy opening has always heard the same thing from Lee Valley Park - After their experience with the Broxbourne White Water centre they will never again be forced into opening before they are ready. They have been consistently saying they would not do a partial opening, especially because the velodrome sits in the middle of the park, and so will be in the midst of a construction site at first, with developments going on all around and requiring use of the access roads.. Then they want 'around six months' to prove their systems, train staff and generally get ready for the public opening, which was the big problem they hit with the Broxbourne centre which was jammed solid with people from day 1. **
