Brekkie Boy 73 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Really not sure if I can bring myself to watch this after the awful opening. Just hope it at least stays dry for them - gives rain again tomorrow but clearing by 9pm. IIRC Manchester's closing was a washout back in 2002. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC site says it starts 21:00 so maybe an earlier "start" time for ticket holders (?). I recall there being an earlier start-time on the ticket earlier for Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremony to take in the pre-ceremony entertainment, and so I guess, everyone was in and seated when the Ceremony proper started.
