Feels a bit like trying to keep up with the Jones'. I think Belfast should host it, personally.

I think I read somewhere that they would use these facilities for Liverpool's bid anyhow.

Just feels so pointless to me.

Meis has emphasised the importance of fans being close to the pitch, so am hoping this means no running track.
Mate has a season ticket at the Etihad and sits at the front near pitch level: it is the bit that was dug out after the running track was removed. It is not, therefore, covered by the roof and he is wide open to the elements - absolute nightmare for a modern stadium, in my opinion.
Hope Dan Meis is as good as his word!

They want it, and makes more sense than having it 30 miles for a relatively recent host city.
Not a bad shout, good chance to showcase that region.
I know the youth games is there in a few years but not aware of the main one being a possibility. I don't think the money is there for starters, literally up in smoke, nor is there a collective will amongst politicians.
I confess to having no time for it anyway. I also don't think it's relevant to Bramley Moore either unless it is linked to the wider development of roads etc.
Is the Commonwealth games that important ?
It's not exactly the Olympics , and will there really be huge crowds flocking to the city to watch the events ?

1.2 million tickets sold at Glasgow 2014. That compares with around 10 million for London 2012 (including Paralympics).
We have no government at the minute and a green energy renewable heating scheme which has overspent by half a billion pounds. I'm fairly certain Belfast won't be hosting any major sporting events any time soon!!
Not a fret in sight mate
We will know before then re stadium anyway
If the stadium that is to be built is to be more than just a football stadium , I don't think people should focus too much on the Commonwealth games alone.
I think that the intention would be to have an arena that can hold large non football events far into the future , large concerts would be the obvious example.
Croke Park in Dublin(capacity84,000) is regularly used for huge concerts, Springsteen, U2, Ed Sheerin have all played there and Garth Brookes was booked to play to a total crowd of 250000 over a series of concerts until planning regulations got in the way.
There is huge money to be earned by the businesses in the city from concerts such as these.
Even, if Liverpool is unsuccessful in this bid for the games, it may be successful in a future bid and having good facilities already in place would surely boost such an application.
