From the Tottenham, Wood Green and Edmonton Journal:
An athletics track in Finsbury Park is not fit for purpose and has left young Olympic hopefuls feeling neglected, say users. Business consultant Simon Confino, 48, whose son trains at the club, said: "There's talk about the need to promote fitness in young people.
"We're told you've got this once-in-a-generation opportunity in the run-up to the London Olympics and here we are with a major track in Haringey that's not suitable for young people to do basic training."
Problems include "slippery mud" washing onto the track when it rains making it "dangerous", the athletics track having six lanes rather than the standard eight and "disgusting" changing facilities.
Time for an early "legacy" bid, I'd say.
