Not sure from that if my addled memory has any credibility…I notice we are back to discussing our deal with the council.
The simple fact is, Manchester City Council wanted the Olympics.
They were fucked off.
For that reason they bid for the Commonwealth games.
When they did they had no idea and no plan.
The first people they asked about using a stadium was the rags.
They said no.
We were second choice.
If we had said no it is likely Manchester would have lost the games. Yes there is talk about a temporary stadium but in all honesty, that was bollocks.
The council needed us and in some respect, we needed them.
The rest is history.
Manchester City Council have done very well out of the deal as we have.
To compare it to this abomination is ludicrous.
But it’s Friday night, Beth Hart is oozing out of the cd player, 3 swords is filling the glass and I’m buzzing.
