    O/T Olympic funding

    UK Sport has announced that five disciplines will lose funding altogether.

    They are badminton, archery, fencing, weightlifting and wheelchair rugby.

    Equestrian dressage will get funding of £15.3 million

    Seems a bit biased?

    That's the sort of money that will attract the top show ponies, do we have one with the initials DB who we could donate?

    Eddie the Eagle managed his path to fame and fortune without government funding so I fully expect to see Percy the Poker rising to fame in fencing, 'Arry the Arrow in archery and many more working class heroes.
