[QUOTE="Atmavictu, post: 1145096, member: 87307"] I just came back from a week end in Marseille (Arg-Eng and SA- Scot). I couldn't believe how bad the logistics of the Velodrome is...just 2 main entrances, one of which with many steps, it took us 45 minutes to get inside the perimeter with the crowd pushing to get in (very dangerous), no police, volunteers don't know anything, queues to get a bottle of water are enormous because you gotta queue with people trying to refill a million pints of beer...A couple of guys in front of me left at half time and both came back 40 minutes later with a few beers... Adding to that, very tight space in the main (most expensive) stand. They basically built a new stadium roof in 2016 but the stadium is the same piece of crap I remembered from the previous Rugby World Cup in France 16 years ago. Very dissatisfied, I have been going to all sort of sport events for almost 40 years and this was like taking a Time Machine and being back in the 80es. I have tickets for the knock out stages but I have no interest in going back to France after this experience. [/QUOTE]
