Chair of 2012 organising committee tells Tory conference that mistakes will not be repeated at Olympic Park
Lord Coe, the Olympic medal-winning athlete and chair of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, has said that the construction of Wembley Stadium was a 鈥渃ock-up鈥�.
Coe: 鈥渋t was a cock-up from beginning to end鈥�
Coe told an audience of delegates at the Conservative Party conference that the construction of the 拢500m stadium had gone disastrously wrong.
He said: 鈥淚 don't want to bore you all for three hours on my feelings on the number of mistakes made at Wembley; suffice to say it was a cock-up from beginning to end.鈥�
The Conservative peer added that the team building the Olympic Stadium would not repeat the mistakes made during the construction of the UK's national stadium.
