Opportunity Cost

Our Government in order to promote the welcoming atmosphere on the Beijing Olympic Game, the LCSD offers free sport facilities from July to September. In my view, it may not be a good idea.
In spite of this programme might promote of doing exercises, in order to get a place in using those facility, everyone need to queue up before 7 o' clock in the morning, no matter you are willing to pay for it or not. As a result, even the regular users like sport clubs or regional teams need to compete with the citizens all over Hong Kong for sport facilities. This interferes the training schedules of them, since the summer vacation is the golden period for these organisations as most of the students are free and able to attend full time training, Resulting in backside the sports development.
Besides, since these facilities offer at no cost, people book many facilities as they can even through they are not avaliable on that day. These led to mismatch of resources as the real demanding user could not use those facilities.
A coin always has two sides, in these special period, even through there are inconvenience, couldn't we bear that?
