Yeh, I wonder if you'll still have to pay £5 everytime you go in and out of London, and there is NO WAY that fans will be able to get in on time unless they leave early. Or walk there, walking to Wembley or wherever will be a lot faster.

That news rocks. Although I can't begin to imagine how busy London will be, judging just by it's current state.
But either way, yay

Imagine 5 mile traffic jams.

Then imagine it in 2012 with the Olympics

Seriously, London is one big traffic jam. Traffic jams lead to traffic jams. And one day in London is equal to smoking 5 cigarettes in a day.

The games are going to be held in East London so *at the moment* there is no congestion charge in that area. The only way you'd have to pay is if you travelled via central london to get there.

Heh, well it's certainly going to be interesting dealing with all the disruption for transport.

I remember when the first parts of the bid were being brought together and they were looking at the existing facilities and whether they'd use them or not. I think they might be using one of the sports centres nearby as a training centre although it's been a while since I've kept up with this stuff.
