Olympic Stadium

Does anyone have any idea why they are taking the Olympic Stadium apart. They were nearly finished doing the exo skeleton and the concrete banking now they are taking apart once again.

National scandal ?
Imcompetence ?
Did I fall asleep for 5 years and the Olympics is over ( how was it by the way did we have a clean sweep in the Velodrome )

Anybody ?

They realised they accidentally put it in Stratford ;)

second that.

boom boom
you've been a great audience goodnight !

no but seriously
check the stratford thread and see how much people love the area !

It's designed to be dismantled after the games, maybe they're just testing that?

Seems so stupid, they pay extra to design it so it comes apart, then pay extra to build it, take it apart to test, rebuild it and finally take it apart after the games, when they're left with 40,000 seats that won't fit anywhere, and that they've already paid for. Might as well leave them on the stadium, the only other place they'll be is in a warehouse somewhere, and that's probably less sustainable than just leaving them.

Im sure its not a test dismantling... I mean what if the test fails and it cant be dismantled... will they then rip it down and redesign one that can be dismantled and then build that one and test dismantle it? And then what if they fuck that one up too and they've ripped down 2 perfectly good stadiums because they couldnt dismantle them.

They should have just built a Footlocker and a Chicken Cottage.

I was just kidding Dicki.

maybe it's like putting together an Ikea wardrobe - they realised they used the wrong screws and had to start over.
