It's not the children's 'fault' they went to public schools,the competitors didn't sell the playing fields.

99.9%of public school kids do not win the olympics,great support from friends family and coaches,and an absolute dedication get you to the olympics ,also not many public school boy's end up earning £100,000 per week in the premiership (sic)

the last two governments have are at fault,along with the age of lonely play by kids ,allowed by parents

I don't blame the children, where did you get that from?
As you say, successive governments have purported in selling playing fields.

[irmscher]

They have built purpose built stadiums though Marky

I know, I helped pay for them, and will probably continue to pay long after they have fallen into disuse.
None were built on ex school playing fields as far as I'm aware though.
