    I know they are going to spend aprox £24 million on a shooting events stadium etc down by the RA building in Woolwich.

    A good thoroughbred eventing horse could go round Greenwich Park in around 10 minutes or so.
    OK, maybe they could make the course wind around a bit and double back on itself but that would overlap with other competitors coming into line of sight etc.
    No,it's not an ideal location for such a prestigious event, despite it being a fabulous outlook.
    Sadly, it's simply not big enough.
    Has to go to Burley surely and after all the years they have put into making it a world class eventing course they would justly deserve it.!

    Greewich park is far more "prestigous" than some horse race !


    The course --- round Greenwich Park --- over Blackheath-- down Shootershill Rd-- Charlton Lido as the water jump-- Up ShootersHill into Oxleys Woods and back to the park.

    Well yes, to an extent but it's the Olympics and they're Brits after all, so they'll get my support, it's an event we are usually quite successful in as well.
    In the event of it going ahead any self respecting fox would do well to keep well clear of SE10 for a while!

    Curb-It used to leave stuff out in the garden for em--not a good idea. They returned favour by leaving a head less rabbit on the lawn and even coming in the back door !

    Yes i know im a wanna be tree hugger.

    Latest update from Greenwich Phantom - better news that they apparently do not intend to ransack the park but still no update on park closure.
