Quote bren2k="bren2k"So much for the Olympic legacy...'"
Nothing to do with the Olympic legacy and all to do with the practicalities of real life im afraid.
Athletics (and athletes) in the Uk is wholly reliant on funding as was the running of facilities such as this.
Another example of Sheffield City Council having a brain fart with the Don Valley, and now with less funding in general its an obvious choice for the chop.
Taking away the emotion of the Olympics and gold medal olympic champions such as Jess Ennis the whole DV idea was a bad one and has been a locally huge tax payer burdon since its conception.
