Quoted: I'm surprised at Lord Coe, at least I though he had the good sense to be supporting the provision of some sort of shooting legacy post 2012. Maybe he thinks he is by suggesting that a 10 Airgun Range to be left at Woolwich is what we all want.

Not to keen on the clay shooting focused suggestion put forward for Dartford as I still believe Bisley to be the best option. |
Why should you be surprised at Coe?
Lets not forget he was president of the NPA but dropped it quicker than shit through a goose in the shadow of Dunblane.
That fucker doesn't want to be associated with shooting in any way.
Lets not forget that the whole bid is based on a pack of lies, and IIRC London only won the bid over paris because one of the other delegates voted the wrong way.
London 2012 insist the shooting venue has to be as close as possible to the Olympic Park. Lord Coe, the London 2012 chairman, said: "When we came out of the initial evaluation in 2004 we were quite heavily criticised for the spread of our venues. We made it clear in the bidding process that we wanted the athletes to be competitors not commuters |
I work right next to the Olympic Park. I'd love to have a shooting venue near me.
This is the best bit though...
London 2012 chiefs had originally earmarked Bisley but moved the venue to Woolwich during the bid to bring it much closer to the Olympic Park. They admit the venue will be dismantled after the Games but insist the ranges can be relocated to other established shooting sites as a legacy |
How the fuck do you relocate the ranges?
Nope, they really don't give a shit and are going far out of their way to prove it
