Olympic Committee taken to task by Corby

The news that the Olympic Torch is due to visit several sites in the County has been greeted with joy by most inhabitants, but met with dismay by the Corby Olympic Deliverance Sub Committee, headed by Jock Caber-McJock.

"We're no happy that the torch is stopping anywhere in Northants other than Corby.  If it only came here, we could have it for longer."

Jock added, "We've got a big swimming pool, a year old, big square building that only needs a wee bit of renovation, a handful of shops and half a new football ground being opened by one of the top 50 teams in the country - Rangers.  Why would they want to take the torch anywhere else?"

"In fact, we're a bit miffed that the entire Olympics isn't being staged in Corby!  We're not used to being denied anything!  I mean, what does London have that we don't?
 

London City?  We're appealing for City status!

Olympic Stadium?  Rockingham Triangle!

Wembley Stadium?  Steal Park!

Velodrome?  Danesholme Cycle Lane!
Wembley Arena?  Rangers Supporters Club!

Sailing Venue?  Corby Boating Lake!

Canoe Centre?  River Welland!

Accommodation for thousands of competitors and visitors? The new Premier Inn in Oakley!

Shooting at the Royal Artillery Barracks?  A night out on the Exeter Estate!

"There's still time to change the location before next summer!  C'mon, we can do it if we all get behind the Corby bid!" added Mr Caber-McJock as the men with white coats inched forward.
