Trumush Posted 27 October, 2009 Share Posted 27 October, 2009 Sunday's event was the 20th running of the GSR,the last 19 at its present venue and the first in 1990 at; as the announcer said "that other place on the south coast - ssss.....",the prat could'nt even stomach saying the name. It did get me thinking as to why we only had, what has turned into a highly prestigious, televised international sporting event for that one year.Did our council give it away thinking it would'nt catch on, or did portsmouth council seeing the potential steal it from us. My memory is'nt so good,can anyone remind me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 27 October, 2009 Share Posted 27 October, 2009 I don't think it's that prestigious tbh. Isn't it only in the last couple of years that it has actually been televised live, and on Ch5 as well? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have it here, it's just I don't think it's quite as internationally recognised as you imply in your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
