2 years to go

I'm slightly more interested in it than usually as some of the events are being held locally although the downside is the increase in traffic - they are talking of completely closing one stretch of road in Poole, goodness only knows why, but it'll be good to sit there watching it and seeing if we can recognise where it is.

To be honest, even if events were being held in Huddersfield, I'd take no interest, I'd consider it to be an inconvenience more than anything else. To be honest I'mnot best pleased that the Olympics means that the 2012/13 football season will be delayed by a couple of weeks. Sod the Olympics!

Well sorry folks - I for one am looking forward to it!

im not really intrested but i have heard that they gonna be some event at GL1 in gloucester thinks its swimming avents but not sure so ill will be watching that but nothing else

total waste off munney

To be able to host the Olympics is a major undertaking - just think of all the tourism etc income etc that the country will get. The people who take part are not like all these overpaid sportsmen (footballers etc) but normal people competing to the highest levels. Everyone should try and make an effort to support/watch or even attend. Like most things, if you can experience these events live it is such a tremendous buzz.

i'm pleased but................ from where i live there are only 2 ways to get to weymouth/portland from international airports and major cities of which is where all sailing stuff is. as it is we struggle to cope with the traffic now, unless something done soon when 2012 comes it will be total grid lock and i mean total.

I'll definitely not be making any effort to watch any of it. No interest in any of the sports, no interest in the Olympics, never have done. Even if ticket, travel, accomodation etc was provided to me for free, I'd turn down the chance to go and watch, and even watching on TV is of absolutely no interest to me. Unless you want to go to the Olympics, you'll be as well getting away from London if you live there. Prices of everything will go up massively, and you'll hardly be able to move because of the traffic/number of people.
