Lottery funding can produce results
Given the excellent results produced by Britains cyclists in Manchester over the last week I'm encouraged that Lottery money can be effective if used to support grass roots activities in a sport. Compare that with swimming where vast amounts of cash has be lavished on the 'stars' of the sport for no tangable benefit.
The trouble is it takes time for grass roots investment to produce tangible results and we seem to live in a results now culture.
