Commonwealth Games

[Hatch]

off to a good start!

 

No bugger wants to go, and I suspect a lot of athletes are waiting for the UK teams to pull out en masse, and so have the decision made for them.

If Eng, Scot , Wales etc do opt to go, then I expect quite a few athletes to suddenly become injured.

Would be very surprised if this does go ahead. Not without a roof and bridge anyway.

The athlete village looks pretty decent

I drove past the site every day for a fortnight 18 months ago and even then you could tell that it wouldn't be ready on time. Its no surprise so me that this situation has arisen. It was on the cards from the day they announced Delhi as the venue. The roads around there are an absolute nightmare on a normal day - took 4 hours to go 30km one day when it was usually a 45 min journey.
