Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I was watching the judo. The commentator mentioned that the result could be decided by sudden death. There has to be a better way of describing this method when used in a combat sport. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National TV has been a tidal wave of positivity about the venues, the crowd, the city, the people, the show, the buildings, the canalside, everything. Breakfast just talked about the number of trees in the city. A lot of athlete interviews ask them about the city. It's been absolutely brilliant for Birmingham and I've a feeling it could be a real turning point for the City.

The Fun Factory Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It is a real carnival atmosphere around the city to the events I have gone to. I hope the Commonwealth Games keeps on going despite the doom sayers having a go at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the absolute jizzfest when Manchester had it and I was slightly irked that these games quietly approached with virtually no fan fare. Now that they're actually here though the reaction has been great and I can see it doing nothing but wonders for the city and it's image. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Has anyone used their event ticket to use free transport? How does that work? Thinking of driving to Cov station tomorrow and getting the train which apparently is in the free transport area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer the question people just showed their tickets working the gates who let them through. If you are on the fence about going in I recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to soak up the atmosphere in town on Saturday when I was up for the Gymnastics. Wish I could have chance to go watch events at Smithfield and the NEC but glad I've seen some stuff.

Brumerican Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 My neighbour said "Alright" under his breath when I said good afternoon to him earlier instead of his usual dismissive grunt. It's a real carnival atmosphere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I showed my phone was at the gates at New St a few times. They didn't really look, you could probably get away with free travel for 2 weeks with 1 event ticket.

Brummies are never one to big the city up, so it needed the outsiders to come in and wax lyrical about it on our behalf! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
