TicketingOriginally posted by Shaggy View PostTo what was he referring?
EDIT: Specifically the ticketing for the road cycling. This is what he said after he won.
To be honest it was a disgrace that they sold tickets for Box Hill (not that Wiggins is on about that). Ok, they had to restrict numbers but a straight ballot would have been more in keeping with cycling's traditions. Just ten days before the men's Olympic road race I stood on the side of the Col du Tourmalet, watching all the riders go past, without having to pay anything, get a ticket, and so on.Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it, it's very accessible. But here [at the start and finish] you have to be in the chosen few, it's a bit of a prawn-sandwich fest.
We all know about Olympic ticketing, so it was nice to go back out and just show some appreciation for all that they did for that hour.
It's a shame they, the real fans, couldn't see the ceremony, so it was nice to go out and roll up and down.Last edited by Neil Young; 12-08-12, 09:59 PM..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

Could have been genius.
That's a lot of shagging. Can't see this music getting anyone in the mood.
