Officially by backupJM Tags:ScotlandUnited Kingdom 14 comments >A deal to allow Glasgow to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games has been backed by the Scottish government, **BBC Scotland understands.** So…still just as confirmed as the last half dozen times it was “confirmed”. At least the Scotrail staff and Glasgow bin men will do well out of the strikes they have in the lead up to it! Can we have the dancing tunnock teacakes pls Where’s the money coming from? The city centre is a riot as it is. It was brilliant the last time but where are the athletes going to stay , all those houses got allocated to locals Can’t wait. I’m sure the 2026 crop of probationers will enjoy standing in one spot for ten hours at a time without a meal break. There’s money for this??????? Moronic. Every other eligible ‘commonwealth’ city on the planet says no and we’re the idiots throwing our hands in the air when they’re desperate. Cool! I say that because I’m not a dour bastard. Be great it it’s used as an opportunity to upgrade sporting facilities like Strathclyde park and Scotstoun stadium Ah great the British empire games! How is this still a thing?! So rents jumping forever by £500pm again then xD It’s more Glasgow than Scotland as a whole! I’m sure we’ll do it justice but I think GCC will need to cash in a few ginger bottles to pay for it.
