Well it can't be much later if a new stadium needs taking through planning and construction in a tad over 4 years. Mind you, new Everton is working at unprecedented speeds so no problemo.
BMD will take 6 months to build by new Everton speed.
The new stadium is pressing ahead regardless of if we get it or not

I presume most of that time is getting it through the planning process. Lazy beggars.
The Commonwealth Games Federation says a final decision is unlikely until early autumn.
Wasn't far off was I
Cheer for the midlands.
I have been told by somebody who MAY know that our stadium will be N/S running along the Mersey, this would tie in with some earlier talk of BMD and Nelson as the build sites.
Time will tell.

When the Trickys were doing their training ground consultation by ours, I went and covered it for Uni. I made a joke abar us moving stadium and them moving training ground. 2 fellas from the council told me that we wouldn't have to worry about the games as it's 'nailed on' for Birmingham.
I reckon they were having me on but yenno. Closest I'll ever be to Stadium ITK.
Never understand the reason behind cities wanting these games so much, im aware of the short term impact on the local economy, but 9/10 after the games the whole place becomes a wasteland.

Events like this act as a backdrop to draw in powerful movers and shakers,entertain them and show the city in a good light. Done well they give a good impression of what the city is capable of and hopefully act as a catalyst for future investment and jobs.

It's a lot to do with increasing the city's profile and helping increase tourism and attract business in the long term, due in part to the improved infrastructure.
I was recently working with a real estate and hospitality expert who advised South Africa on the 2010 World Cup. He was saying that it is only now that places like Durban are noticing the benefits of the infrastructure and marketing that was put in place during the World Cup. It was initially written off as a complete waste of money.

Dan Meis revealed some early designs at a meeting for FC Cincinnati. Really blurry photos, but it's still something.
