Tried for athletics but were only morning sessions left. But then I live in England.Got tickets for Glasgow’26 - Athletics, Weight Lifting and Swimming.
Both the 100m finals in Athletics and a whole host of finals at the Swimming.
I'm trying to think who I got them confused with?Scotland didn’t play at old trafford in Euro 96. Played us at Wembley and other 2 group games at villa park.
Germany ?I'm trying to think who I got them confused with?
I just remember the farce at Piccadilly with trains.
The Euros will be a great boost for Manchester. Huge revenues for hotels, bars, restaurants. Co-op live will open up for food and drink ( it was fantastic last week before the Liverpool game) plus City Square etc. Five extra matches plus all the PL and CL games for City( maybe also United )plus gigs at Co-op and the Manchester arena. Huge work will have to go into transport before this all happens with more buses and trams.If I think how Manchester will be seen in 2028, I can think of many characteristics, e.g., people, football, history but visually Manchester's skyline is now striking and unique. By 2028, Viadux2 might be at its full height. It's due to complete in 2031 so that's my guess.
Kinder Scout is the highest mountain (636m above sea level) in the Peak District (actually an ancient sea-cliff, formed 320m years ago in the Carboniferous. In that period, oxygen levels were up to 35% of the atmosphere compared to 21% today. That should give environmentalists something to ponder as they think about gases in ppm). Hayfield, a nearby village, is 278m above sea-level, so I can say that the local height of Kinder is 358m. Viadux 2 will be 246m (Beetham Tower, 169 m). Imagine a skyscraper 2/3 of the elevation of the Peak district's highest peak. That will be Manchester in the near future. I expect some UK cities will follow. The motivation is probably money for property developers, and I don't like that they co-exist with poverty and drugs, however in their shadows, at night, sunrise and sunset, they look stunning.
Bound to get one of the European big boys basing themselves at CFG and their fans will be constantly putting a few quid in the local economy.The Euros will be a great boost for Manchester.

They will have to run buses, trams, and trains 24 hours as happens in proper European cities for starters. We can’t afford an Istanbul cock-up. It would be commercially damaging for the city and the UK. London’s image is rock bottom so Manchester must step up,Bound to get one of the European big boys basing themselves at CFG and their fans will be constantly putting a few quid in the local economy.
Cant wait for it begin. I do have concerns about transport infrastructure being able to cope.
For the Olympics we agreed to run a 23 hour service to London.
Think Villa scaled the plans back and are going ahead with a much cheaper option?
Did he bother explaining why he thought that? I'll take a wild guess...
Small addition.Excellent news that.
Just reading about the tickets though, I trust we will take a leaf out of Scotland’s Commonwealth Games 2026 book, and offer first dibs to those with a Manchester postcode, second dibs to those with an English one, and last in line, the rest of Europe including Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Liverpool.
I think you missed typed surely 2082 for their stadium opening with transport improvements 10 years later like it was with us!Hmmm 2028 surely the rags new stadium will be up and running by then ..
The problems at the BBC are there on full view in the BBC Sport Football online coverage, which contains total bias in favour of the reporters favourite clubs, and/or is driven solely by clicks instead of fairness and accuracy. The exact opposite of how a publicly funded website should operate.If you care to see how much this news has hurt the Scum read the Simon Stone, quite ridiculous puff-piece on the BBC site this morning. The scum have revolutionised football organisation off the pitch don’t you know. Remember as you read that if you pay a TV licence you have contributed to the bilge.
Doesn't understand the inclusion of a 60k modern stadium with arguably the best surrounding facilities, in one of the best and most thriving cities in the country that happens to be a football hotbed, good transport facilities, more than capable of welcoming and accommodating a flood of visitors and even homes the national football museum? Yeah, I cannot work out why they would have games in that area either... Totally perplexing, if only he had a single brain cell present to work it out.Gabby Agbonli(something) on Talksport doesn't understand the Etihad inclusion.
St James yes. Villa Park yes.

Yes I am doing one evening in Birmingham. Got the Glasgow tickets because I pre-registered. The swimming is an excellent set of events:Tried for athletics but were only morning sessions left. But then I live in England.
Went the last time it was up there but giving it a miss this time. Got good tickets for the European Athletics champs in Birmingham though.

Well they already have the clowns, just need to fork out for the elephants and lions.Hmmm 2028 surely the rags new stadium will be up and running by then ..
Yes but only when Big Mike Wedderburn is presentingYeah I noticed that. We never got mentioned.
Odd as sky sports news love us.
To call him thick would be an understatement. During our recent visit I thought Villa Park, especially the away section, was a crumbling shithole. For me the infrastructure and the state of the surrounding areas would rule it out of any major events. It reminded me of a larger version of Goodison Park.Gabby Agbonli(something) on Talksport doesn't understand the Etihad inclusion.
St James yes. Villa Park yes.
Didn't the Rags come out and say the stadium would be undergoing works when the UEFA bidding process was going on, and well before the circus tent was announced?Hmmm 2028 surely the rags new stadium will be up and running by then ..
And wasn't Villa on the back of the stand being redeveloped?To call him thick would be an understatement. During our recent visit I thought Villa Park, especially the away section, was a crumbling shithole.
