They will probably come to a compromise that suits the soft and fluffy.

Re: Birmingham 2022
By the sounds of it they will have a commonwealth championship but not at the same time as the games. Probably the year after. Well done India for standing up for it. Fingers crossed those responsible are made to feel like idiots!
Re: Birmingham 2022
Sounds like a bribe to get India to send their other athletes to Brum in 2022 knowing that they will be proposed for the games in 2030.Another interesting comment that came up during the press conference from CGI secretary general, Rajeev Mehta, was that India could be keen to bring the Commonwealth Games back to the country in 2026 or 2030.

That went down like a lead balloon as well.
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Re: Birmingham 2022
Yes 50 people, and THEY were from the neighbouring area where all of the gun crime is being committed.
This was 8/9 years ago and no-one took a blind bit of notice and it is still referred to as The Gun Quarter.

Re: Birmingham 2022
You don't get 'proposed' to host the Games - you put forward your bid, then all the countries vote (except in the case of an emergency process, such as the one that gave Birmingham the Games after Durban was cancelled). Since shooters make up a significant proportion of many of the smaller teams, a bid without shooting under the normal voting process would normally struggle.Graham M wrote:knowing that they will be proposed for the games in 2030.
When Durban failed it looked like a blessing, since they were going to have shooting, but no full bore. Sadly things went from bad to worse.
I never expected there was any chance I might shoot in India again though.
