rangersfc77 170 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I like a bit of Rugby definitely a real mans game these guys get punched, delicate areas grappled, broken bones and carry on regardless.

Inigo 32,526 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Second biggest stadium in the city?Also i'd take issue with the poster who said 'millions' wil lbe watchi9ng the rugby fucknig 7s worldwide Nobody gives a shit about the commonwealth games, it's a paltry wee thing. So it's not worth getting angry about the legobrick stadium getting the opening ceremony, it's not worth getting angry about closet homosexuals, its not worth getting angry about the closing ceremony and its not worth worrying about 'exposure'.Unless you really think the extended families of those competing are a valuable resource to be competing for. Cos they're more or less the only people who will be watching.It'll easily go to millions for a Commonwealth tournament. I'd bet on well over a million in England alone cumulatively over the 2 days. Together with SA, Australia, NZ, Canada and the others it'll be into the millions that tune in. You don't have much regard for the event or rugby but many do. Cumulatively these kinds of things matter for the image of the club.Oh and disagree, but the laughing face is a wee bit unnecessarily arrogant/smartarseish. But then the tone of your entire post is a bit prickish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

110 steps 282 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why was Parkhead given the opening ceremony....this is the question that should be asked.!!!!It was the only way GCC could think of to give the mhanks a bung to do upgrades at the piggery, without forcing them to host any events.

The Educator 1,572 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The allocation of the opening ceremony of the CG's should never have gone to parkhead. I doubt very much if you will find any other country that fails to use the awarding of this event doesn't use it to either revamp their national stadium or build a new one. Instead this event has been used to increase the land value of a specific area of Glasgow at the cost of using it to benefit the city as a whole.The fact is that the GCC could not afford to run and maintain the sports facilities it had, so after the games how will they be able to run and maintain these new sports facilities. The fact is the won't and I have no doubts who will be taking them over bit by bit in the coming years at a fraction of the cost that was involved in their creation. This whole exercise has been used from the beginning to benefit one organisation and should be investigated. I have no doubt that when the books for this event are probably balanced around 2016 we will find that this organisation will be the only ones to have gained any lasting financial benefit.I for one will not be attending any CG event or watching any of the TV coverage. I do have one question, what is the contingency plan for the opening ceremony if parkhead is found closer to the event to have any structural or safety problems? It has been rumoured in the past that there may be a subsidence problem with this ground, wouldn't it be funny if it really did subside prior to the games.PS.

Beaujolais 1,371 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It will be interesting to see how the ferocity of the tackling compares with that delivered by some of our opposition over the last season and a half. The Rugby 7's will be a brilliant event. Most of the CG competitions are pretty Micky Mouse but not the Rugby- this along with the Athletics, Cycling and the Triathlon will be one of the biggest draws to the game. Tell those brought up in the Borders that Rugby is not a working mans game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 16,975 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It must be unheard of to hold the opening ceremony of an Olympics or Commonwealth games at a venue other than the stadium used for the track and field events. The wide oval running track is perfect for the teams to parade round behind their national flag - and the San Giro is rectangular with a narrow track so the organisers must be radically changing the format of the ceremony to accomodate this.One argument I have heard in favour of this as the venue is that it is right next to the athletes village so the teams won't have to travel to Hampden - well, the closing ceremony is at Hampden so they will be travelling what, two or three miles, for that.I think there has been a lot of planning put into making sure Celtic FC benefit as much as possible from these Games - even most of the publicity paraphenelia shows their mhidden (all decked out in a PC rainbow of multi-culturalism, not a Union Flag in sight), not Hampden where the bulk of the competition will be held.The area around the San Giro is getting a major facelift at no cost to Celtic and it would be naive to think they won't be taking advantage of the new sports facilities built so conveniently on their doorstep.Meanwhile "Suppose we better give Ibrox something to shut them up - just fling them the rugby or something".All this because of a sporting event that celebrates the existence of the British Commonwealth - something that Celtic and their supporters despise. Takes the old adage "they hate the Crown but love the half-crown" to a new level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
