pretty much sums up the majority of posts here with a few exceptions

https://thecgf.com/news/new-report-reveals-commonwealth-games-consistently-provides-over-ps1-billion-boost-host-cities There you go …,. One of many articles. I can’t make up my mind what is funnier …. Your posts or the fact that it winds you up so much that I post. 😂

I respect anyones views and happy to engage with anyonE who wants to be constructive. The thing about disagreeing works both ways … just because I don’t sing the same song as everyone many don’t like it. The problem here is that many jump on the bandwagon of insults and a pack mentality to...

Do some research and you’ll soon see how much a host city usually benefit from hosting the games. I’m not sure I said other arenas had been directly given money, but as often happens you like to suit your own narrative with out of context replies.

Ultimately host cities / areas get a very good return from hosting the games. I’m not suggesting that’s directly related to CBS but the games are certainly a good investment for host cities.

which occasion was that ? There’s speculation most of the year in the press about players moving ….. players move around clubs all the time. Is that the mystery Wasps fans who you know that you sometimes speak about ?

I don’t think I’ve ever said they are special ? as to why they have applied for funding, again I don’t know any more than you.

The underlying financial performance (or lack of) is no secret and hasn’t been so anything around that in isolation shouldn’t cause sudden hesitancy at the last minute as it would be known about from the start, although I suppose it all depends on timing though as to when the refinancing process...
