In partnership with UEL. What are they going to do, hunt the drug dealer? Crazy.

Perhaps they can invent a new sport, such as catching the javelin or heading the shot.

Cricket. 5 months of a year. Attendances - shocking. Must be 20/20 fixtures. We shall see.

It's not technically in Essex but it's in a good position for people from various parts of the county to get to.

County Championship games there would look ridiculous in front of 300 people but if Essex could attract a few England games there then that presumably would be worth a lot of money to them.

The Olympic Stadium is meant to be a legacy for all sports, not football as the Scum Ham Pornographers seem to think.
