Thought the last couple of Olympics were shite due to time differences. I quite like the commonwealth games, it's like the challenge cup for folk who get 4 or 5th in the semis in the athletics to pick up a trinket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELO has been playing pretty much non-stop throughout the competition and Led Zeppelin were featured in the Closing Ceremony, albeit only in recorded form. I don't think there was any Moody Blues but may have missed it. Edited August 8, 2022 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Would at least have thought they could have had UB40 on at either end, to make sure both Campbell brothers versions didn't meet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 A thoroughly enjoyable couple of weeks all round, there’s been some brilliant sport to watch plus the crowds have been fantastic. Much shorter notice to plan the event, (stepping in after Durban pulled out) and with all the hassle of C19 to contend with, the organisers and competitors have put on a terrific show. Congrats to everyone involved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I think the biggest problem for the Commonwealth Games moving forward is going to be finding cities willing to host it. They surely can't keep bouncing between the UK and Australia forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham made the right call with things like the cycling by using the London velodrome.

Think they said on the news yesterday it cost about £800m for Birmingham to host the games. Seems cheap to me but I don't think they had to build much in the way of new venues like London did for their £9.3bn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
