hope we dont get it these sporting events cost the tax payer a hell of a lot more than monies made or temporary jobs created in an age when we are paying billions to europe to bail countries out when at home pensioners can,t afford to pay heating bills i think its a disgrace.

Oddly I may be wrong but
while the Olympics always LOSE money
World Cups tend to MAKE money
and in the case of England since the stadia are already there and built
-we could put on the full world cup with a month's notice if we had to -that may be the case |

We would not have to build new stadia or travel infrastructure, a world cup in England should be an income generator. When you refer to bailing other countries out I presume you mean Ireland? We will actally make money on the Ireland bail out, in business terms for us it's a good move. As for heating bills, lets hope the recent chatter about an investigation into the profiteering of the utilities has an effect. It would be fantastic to get the world cup. I think the BBC has damaged the bid, if we get it the bid team will have worked miracles. |
