[Closed] Commonwealth Games

Is it time to assign them to the rubbish bin of history, it seems that only Birmingham are interested in bidding for the 2022 games, and even they are non compliant.

I remember the Manchester games and it was great going to watch some events I would never have seen, plus there is a legacy of some sporting stadiums including the national cycling centre. But I was only interested because it was in town, I have not taken any interest in any of the following games. It just doesn't seem viable as a major sporting event requiring investment to put it on.

And that's without even getting into the whole commonwealth and dreams of empire stuff.
