Olympic & Paralympic Games London 2012

[Dingle]

I didn't even realise such a thing existed until just then... is there really a need for 24 Olympic channels in addition to the coverage on BBC One?

Eh, it won't bother me too much. Matt, is there anywhere decent around Headingley area where I can go watch footie tomorrow? That is if you know headingley. Where aboots in Leeds are ya? Cause I'd rather avoid the student-y areas since I enjoy listening to the match as well as watching it.

[Baddar]

I'd much prefer to watch some of the hockey/tennis/volleyball/football that doesn't make the main bbc channel in high definition, yes.

[GoGo Yubari]

WAMBACH GOAL! Game on!

[Lineker]

As far as I am aware, all 24 Olympic channels will be in HD.

[Baddar]

They are, that's what I mean. It's definitely a good thing.

Before, the option to watch other stuff was there via the interactive service, but it wasn't in HD.

[IAceI]

Yes! Get in Houghton! :D

I actually live outside of Leeds but my advice would be to avoid Headingley altogether really if you want somewhere non-student-y. You'd be better going into the city centre to be honest.

Oh and Baddar, my point was more that 24 channels seems a bit excessive.

[Katsuya]

I love Wambach just because her name is all kinds of awesome.

Maybe it is, but like I say, they serve more as an interactive service than anything, like before. The reason they're given stand-alone channels this time is because of HD. Not every channel will have its own set of presenters, and they can be accessed via the red button, just like before.

Isn't the whole point of Headingley students?

If there's 24 sports on then it isn't excessive, either way its not stopping anything else from being on so what's the issue? I for one am looking forward to some obscure shooting event on Olympic 17.

[Katsuya]

What kind of place are you wanting to go watch the football in? Considering I lived like 5 minutes walk from Headingley for two years

The walking is getting super exciting on Olympic 21 right now. It's gonna be close!

[Katsuya]

The crowd are so much more in to USA-France than the crowd at GB-NZ.

[Guest Oswaldo Jones]

Shit ain't no footbal ain't no shit, OSwaldo Jones all the way baby, hitting the NFL in 2016!

[Colly]

Yes!

[Lineker]

Sepp has more or less confirmed that Team GB competing in Olympic football is a one-off.

[Colly]

I would suggest Team GB competing is a none-off. Appearing maybe.

[Katsuya]

4-2 to the USA now. Attempt at clearing by the French defender went so hilariously wrong.

Pfft, I dunno, I'm not a student here so I just know place names. I know I'm near headingley and otley road, but that's it really. Just somewhere more like a mens social club, bit quieter where I can enjoy the footie without loads of a raucous.

[Colly]

Huddersfield?
