I misheard the radio report then. It was a glib comment based on a prejudice towards Coventry and a long standing bitterness towards London and the Olympics from a Parochial angle following Birmingham's doomed bid.
I'd love to go to the athletics, swimming or the velodrome, but if it transpires it is archery, wrestling and weightlifting, bring it on!
Quote from: Nev on February 15, 2011, 08:42:41 AMApparently the football starts a few days before the opening ceremony. In Coventry.Can anyone else think of a more underwhelming and low key start to such a huge event?The first two games are at the Millenium Stadium Cardiff not that you'd want the facts to get in the way of course.

When would the Bham Olympic have been held if we had won?
Saw some of the road cycling around Horwich when the Commonwealth Games were on, it was alright to sit and watch
I don't see why the football can't be played in Coventry or anywhere else for that matter. We have the stadiums and infrastructure to do that. Not that FIFA paid any attention to that when they were carting vast sums of Russian money away from the world cup voting session, the gluttonous bunch of crooks.
