Do you think the Commonwealth Games will restrict your fun ?
I am thinking that the price of places like Travelodge will be fully booked and the price would be through the roof anyway !!! then there are the road restrictions as well !!!1 |

Commonwealth games has already had a negative impact on our lives let alone anything else.
Work for him has been hell on earth and getting to and from things that we do on a regular basis - keep fit classes etc will be nigh on impossible.
Will be glad to see the back of it so we can get on with our real life. |

It's good to see a sense of humour as strange as mine on these forums. Thank you Mr Blue - I know that's one of your posts!

the common wealth games are hell on earth , cant get anywhere to deliver without some jumped up monkey trying to send me on a shit long de tour , but any games that has folkies evicted out their hoos and then demolishes it cant really be for the common wealth . its just a bunch of people from countrys that used to be owned by england and its empire running about for a few days , not exactly stuff to stir the blood |

"But having spent all the money on these facilities they demolish them? Why? Are us common folk not good enough to keep them, after hosting the events?"
They are not demolishing them after the Games - They may put some of them back to the way they were before being altered for the Games but not fully demolish them e.g. Hampden Park, Celtic Park, Barry Buddon Shooting Ranges, etc. and the Athletes Village gets used for Housing once the Games are over.
So "us common folk" will get full use of them after the Games just the same as we did before the Games!  |

"Economy boost, jobs , new housing .........countrys scream out to host these events for a reason not to mention the masses of positive publicity it creates I can only see good from it "
Countries aren't actually screaming out to host the commonwealth games though. I wouldn't be too surprised if they end up dying out in the near future. |

Was at the dress rehearsal last night at parkhead. Hopefully it will all go well. And the city will benefit from it
Certainly the 20.000 that were there last night created the right atmosphere. And it will continue through out the games

2014 was a choice between Glasgow and Abuja (the capital of Nigeria).
Check our recent news reports re Abuja and decide whether you'd go there. |

I don’t get it. I live in the city centre and I’m still having a lovely time. It’s always a little annoying when they close off big chunks of Glasgow Green, but that’s pretty much the only thing affecting me so far. |

I can see why a lot of people are looking at the positives about the games, and don't get wrong i also hope they go well and show Glasgow in a good light to the world. That said if you're someone like myself that literally has the village on your doorstep where for almost two months now it's been like living in a prison as it was the very beginning of June that all the concrete barriers and 15ft steel fences went up, pathways closed of, roads closed off, people unable to park their cars outside of their houses, the community centre and play park gone and health centre gone to make way for a car park. There's been years of disruption here so all us locals can't wait for the games to be over.
Here's an interesting guardian article that you should read if you think it's been nothing but a positive thing!
