sidcow Posted August 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2022 I am hearing that the City Council are sacrificing a goat on their stone altar in the mystical dome at the top of the Council House tonight to ask for divine intervention in their quest for the European Athletics Championships. It's in the bag folks. Looking forward to welcoming Europe to Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted February 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2023 I don't know...there are plenty of good places, is on the main concourse of one of the country's busiest stations the wisest choice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my same thought. Good location for number of views, but as the entire reason why New Street was constructed was to create more space in the station (though not any actual increase in rail capacity), this will significantly clutter it up. Couldn't they have found a space in the revamped museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I think it's good to have it as an immediate welcome to the city on view in the busiest place. I initially said I'd have liked to have seen it outside the front of the new Curzon Street station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 8, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 8, 2023 If they were going to put it at any station it should have been the new Curzon St Station but thats a way off yet I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2023 Victoria dropped out of 2026. Another opportunity for Birmingham to host or the end of the games altogether? Strange really because though the games had been a bit down at heel in recent years (hence Birminghams late award) the Birmingham games were considered a huge success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just reading about this, something is very wrong with the format if it’s costing so much money to host that it’s not worth it. link Quote Organisers had originally estimated the event - hosted across cities including Geelong, Bendigo and Ballarat - would cost A$2.6 billion (£1.4bn; $1.8bn) and the state government had billed it as a boost for the regions. But now the 12-day tournament was expected to cost more than A$6 billion, Mr Andrews said, adding that the new figure was "more than twice the estimated economic benefit" it would bring to Victoria.
