Day 10 - My Adventures in Glasgow!!!!! (Greg Rutherford Wins Gold) (30th July)

After having a lie in, today was my sixth shift (my last but one) at Hampden Park. After having some breakfast, I relaxed at the campsite for the rest of morning and early afternoon watching the television in the bar.

 
After some lunch (had a pot noddle for first time in years), it was time to leave for another shift at Hampden Park! I took the bus to Battlefield Road and then a walk to Hampden Park! After going through security and  checking in, I went to the Print Distribution Room ready to start my shift. On the way I had my picture taken with another Clyde statue.

Similar to yesterday, when I arrived  there wasn't anything going on so once everyone had arrived me and Fraser (the other team leader on my shifts) did a briefing to start the shift!

After the briefing we all went down to workforce break area to have some food. (the action didn't start until 6.30pm and we started at 5.00pm). 

Once the action started the process was a calm process like yesterday. Like yesterday we got ahead of ourselves after working out the reports we would receive from the schedule of the evening and what came the night before! The team all worked well (some people did the same job to keep the process calm) (they wanted to, we did ask if they wanted a change) and no major problems came back to us. At times we were getting the reports printed off, photocopied and delivered between 10 and 15 minutes, like we did yesterday!

Also during the session I went out into the stadium twice to watched the final heat of the women's 200m and saw Greg Rutherford receive his gold medal after winning the Long Jump for England! The atmosphere during Greg's medal ceremony was really good and it was good to hear people sing the England Anthem! Jodie Williams is a star of future as she won the women's 200m heat by a long margin after pulling away from the field! (She went on to win a silver medal in the 200m)

We continued to deliver, print and photocopy reports until the about 10.30pm. At the end of the shift we had a debrief on how the shift had gone! Another positive day and I left Hampden Park on a high like I did the last two days!

I went back to campsite via a train from Mount Florida to Maxwell Park. Once back at the campsite I went to sleep after a long day! (I arrived home at around 11.30pm!)

Another day completed and I'll be back at Hampden Park for my final shift on Friday! Day off tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be sad on Friday for my final shift!
