My sentiments exactly, and hopefully if even people who were luckier think that (and despite not getting top five preferred choices of sport, I can't complain at the final outcome), it clearly proves it isn't just sour grapes. You didn't need to be a rocket, or indeed any other kind of...

Basically, this has already gone along the lines of previous football World Cups - big scary threats to start with, then admissions that it cannot be enforced. The authorities will certainly be very active against tout companies who actually market their activities in the open. But if you buy...

You are entitled to that slightly silly view, but I imagine many hundreds of thousands of people will be doing the same. Perhaps like you I spent hours over the initial application and got relatively f**k all, and none of the ones we really wanted, including the athletics, and while there are...
