      What the F**k is going on with it? Every other day there's something new putting people off going. Also saw quite a few of the bigger athletes not going.

      And when does it actually get under way?

      Only briefly read about it and I think it's something to do with the athletes not feeling safe enough to stay in some building which is meant for the athletes to stay. Also probably due to security reasons and the fact that some people still question India's ability to host big events.

      I think it starts on October 3rd.

      Starts in 5 days.

      I wouldn't go. So much sh*t going on. Snakes in bedrooms, water in the basements, ceilings caving in, tourists targeted by terrorists, the list goes on.

      Australia dominant. As usual.

      Anyone check out the swimming? Took 10 minutes to clean the pool because the ceiling was falling off/a bird was dying in the pool.

      Felt sorry for him. Fought so hard to get back and then misses out.

      He'll have more chances though in other events.


      It's just sheer brilliance. We're a sporting champion breeding ground ;)

      This is turning out to be a bit of a disaster which is a real shame  :( Can't believe how many empty seats there are in the stadiums, and every day there seems to be more and more problems.

      I'm looking forward to watching the Badminton though.

      Absolutely, Cas. The swimming, netball, hockey, wrestling, badminton, table tennis were all empty.

      And even the cricket between India and Australia was a lesser crowd than expected.

      What's going on in India?

      Everyday new problems, MsG?  ???

      Yeah well, sports in India ( except cricket ) are somewhat in shambles. Personally, I always knew it wasn't going to be a success in terms of turnout.

      Its a F***ing disgrace, but atleast they've managed to put it up and pull the event. ( thank god for that  :roll: )
      The boxing match featuring India still had some spectators though.

      As for the Cricket match, I guess the 5th day turnout was decent, from whatever I saw. Its a 5-day match afterall, never gonna be full-house.  :D
