Olympics

Transport will be upgraded a run down area the size of a small city will be rejuvinated... And rail and air links will have to be modernised...

I for one cant wait, and we beat the french

would imagine so. Tourism will go through the roof.

money well spent like

Will make most of it back through turism, will make a loss but will get a lot out of it

i'll take that

Will bring up the level of uk sport with all the new facilities, lots of it will come from lottery funding and increased Turism, short term it will cost a lot but overall this is GREAT for the UK

lol itll cost much more than estimated. will we hoop get it back.

Waste of money if you ask me, whats wrong with existing stadiums!

Theres things that need the money more than a stupid sporting event!

Still good to have it in the UK i guess but I personally couldnt give a toss

women

think of all the women in tight clothes though.

but knowin my luck, (with me bein in the army,and bein posted down here with the southern shandy drinkin fairys.!!!!!!)
ill end up bein part of the security and i hate the shitty games.

:fart:

Re: women

Air trooper Geordie are you a smurf?

smurf

u??:angel2:

long term yes

Re: smurf

Used to be a Tankie

Waste of money, will spend loads on new facilities that wont get used, Look at the national hockey stadium in Milton Keynes thats hardly used except for Wimbledon playing football, now were gonna build a new one that wont be used in London

doubt it like!

£10 BILLION+

Not likely imo!

Prepare for more tax hikes to subsidide the building work which will benifit the people of London.

Great news init

Thought the Olympics always made a fortune for the Hosts alot more than what it costs to stage

get in ya bastard ya.

Chirac

maybes in 2016 you french frog, horse and snail eating surrender monkey BO smelling garlic chewing lazy good for nowt whinging short cocked puffs.

whooo hooo

well we all know your bird left u for a frenchie

it's all good... for london.

I don't remember all this hype when Edinburg, Birmingham and Manchester were going for the their attempts at the Olympics - sooooo much coverage but hey - that's what u get for living anywhere else but london...

i'm glad we've won it - i never thought we would!

Sheffield hosted the world student games which cost millions
Short term the burden went on the tax payer
Long term the city has never looked back , with sporting facilities to rival anywhere .
To host the olympics is special everyone should be proud
I,m sure if it was the world clubbing games everyone would be .
The income generated purely from tourism is huge , plus the jobs associated with it , plus development of a huge area
its all good .
