Will Glasgow Get The Commonwealth Games?

Glasgow will find out today if they will host the Commonwealth Games in 2014.

I can't see them getting it myself...just a gut feeling!

I think Glasgow should get it. After all it would be the cheaper option, as all the competitors from the Commonwealth seem to live here already, so no travel costs..............

Deep Fried Mars Bar anyone?.....

My point exactly Chip, have you been to Glasgow recently?

Only being sarcastic, sorry, I honestly do hope we get the games as it will be a huge boost for the economy, infrastructure and put Scotland on the map for hopefully the right reasons.

So, they got it after all......

Well done Glasgow

I worked the Edinburgh Commonwealth games, back in 1986. It was fantastic, and I see no reason why Glasgow can't achieve the same, if not improve upon.
