Where we're you? I was in block 253, row 71, so right near the back. I'm not even home yet! I'm still on the train; it wasn't until 00:53!

Yes, but what bridge were you? Maybe twentythreedom's bridge was at the front of the stadium

Thank fuck I'm home now!

Bridge C, but it doesn't really make any difference. They were only using 3 bridges tonight anyway.

yeah, 240 row 46 - awesome spot!

Oh right, that's nice of them. We were right round the back at Bridge D. Can't complain though, couldn't have been any nearer the exit if we tried

It doesn't make any difference to where in the stadium you're seated; it just meant that if you were on the far side of the stadium you had to walk right round it instead of being able to use a nearer bridge.

Well not if you were near one of the bridges that was open!

In reality it doesn't matter which bridge you use, they all lead to the same area; but they don't want 80,000 people all trying to enter/exit the stadium over one bridge.

Yes, I know that! What I was saying that if you were in Row 25 using Bridge A, you were far likely to get to Stratford Station much quicker than someone in Row 75 using Bridge D

That's because that's completely different event - the athletics.

I haven't uploaded any of photos from last night yet.
