New Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010.

[Varun]

Lol, I live just near 500 metres of one of the commonwealth games venue and mind me, the preparations are ████! This is going to be a fail I'd say if they don't back it up in this remaining week.

Thats laughable. How did they think that was ever going to be acceptable?

actually if you've been to india the first and last photos show mud and dirt which can be cleaned but the one in the middle is a bit concerning. I'm not even sure why India got the games in the first place, they hardly get medals anyways.

And then there's the Aussie reporter who got into a stadium with a bomb... This event is just turning into a joke.

Thats the thing. These were allegedly finished as in the athletes were expected to move into them as they were there wasn't going to be anymore cleaning.

Is it really going to happen after that bridge and ceiling collapse of Nehru Stadium?

If it happens good or else SHAME...

I would blame it to the govt. as well as the people. You would see people blaming the govt. wholeheartedly here in Delhi, but the actual fact is that if the people would have been sensitive to what the govt. was doing, this could've gone well and good. Instead they have put all the responsibility on the govt. and I'd really say that they're not cooperating with it.
For eg. People blame the govt. for the CWG but still a lot of them pee on roads.

The main thing which is ruining the party is this last moment heavy rain fall.
Generally, in India, officials like to complete the work in last stage as everyone would be in a hurry and they can fill up their pockets as no one would keep on counting for bucks at the last stage. But this last moment rain has spoiled the total party.
It'd have been better, if this tournament was shifted to Hyderabad (atleast before couple of months), cause the games village, which has been used for 32nd National Games and 1st Afro Asian Games are ready for usage. All stadia are ready to use and are already experienced by the athletes of 32nd National Games and 1st Afro Asian Games. But now, its high time.

Who said the games are going to be canceled?
All the players are going to pull off:laugh.

Well it looked like they were gonna be cancelled. They should be IMO because of
1) Bridges collapsing.
2) Cielings falling.
Imagine what would have happened if the cieling fell when the atheletes were practising.........

I don't see any harm to any other events except this CWG!

CWC 2011: All Stadia are almost ready and ARE BETTER THAN CWG STADIA. Moreover, its not just one city- which is hosting it. Three Countries are hosting it.

Womens Hockey WC: Matter of only 1 Stadium, accommodation can be provided somewhere at a star hotel. Or else, bring it to Hyderabad. Sports Village is empty since 2002 and its just besides the Hockey stadium. Even security can be tighter if it comes to Hyderabad.

Womens Cricket World Cup: No one's gonna bother about it. It'll be just like one more Domestic tournament.

Actually, the drainage system of ours is ████.

Well it looked like they were gonna be cancelled.

Well I think that couldn't be. They would have either shift them anywhere else or postponed it. But I don't it would have been cancelled.

Just saw a bunch of the pictures and that is very disgusting and unacceptable. How can they expect to clean all that up in 2-3 days? How can they expect people to stay in rooms covered in mud and feces!

Some heads need to roll, they had no shortage of time to prepare for this, hell they even claimed it was going to be better than Beijing's athlete village :laugh well at least the Chinese did not have poop and stagnant disease infested water everywhere.

 

[SciD]

5 star hotels will be booked for player. The only thong good about village is dinning area. I doubt anyone can fix the issues in next 3 days as Home Minister has ordered pull out of all people from games area for security reasons.
