Quick question-from someone who hasn't been to Birmingham City Centre for 20 years;
Why can't the Commonwealth Games be held in or near the NEC? Ample parking and plenty of space.
Like a lot of other people I'm not interested in Field and Track events and my own personal view is that the CG and the Olympics are monuments to diseased egos.
Only one OG ever made a profit and that was the Olympic Games in Los Angeles simply because President Reagan said (rightly in my view) 'You can have the Games in any city, just don't expect Federal money to pay for them'. Like anything else in this world if you haven't got the money, either go without or save up.
