Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
I have to admit I would like to see London get it. It will be good for London - the aras where it will be held needs urgent treatment and it will get it with the Olympics coming here. Definately London.

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
The Major Problem with London's bid will be transport. I was at Twickenham this weekend for the England v France match and the Train system is a shambles. But I agree that the Olymics would be great for rejuvinating some of the more rundown areas of London.

I'd like to see a country that hasn't hosted the Olympics host it in 2012.

Paris. Duh! I'm travelling in front of the Stade de France every time I'm going to work. WC98 was cool, I remember that day when Saint-Denis was full of Scots in kilts. Way cool
USA had the games in 84 & 96, maybe not again?
Spain had it in 92, but they're efficient anyways.

Madrid, because I may go there in 2012

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
Moscow - after so many countries boycotting the 1980 Games it would be nice to see some real Olympics in that city.
But I guess it is highly unlikely that Moscow gets this one
Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
Paris. Only because it's my favorite place out of the five listed (although I haven't been to either Madrid or Moscow).

I was in London a fortnight ago and I saw a sticker on the tube saying “London 2012”.
I thought to myself; why not? Let’s give them the Olympics…

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
voted moscow, but i'd like to see paris get them too. usa doesn't need them again so soon, nor spain. london just doesn't strike me as a good location for the olympics. paris is a great city for an event like that, and moscow deserves it more than the others, for the reason ser clegane mentioned.
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
I was hoping a German city would be up there, but I have to go with London or Moscow.

London
The Olympics hasn't been to Britain for ages, and it's about time it was held in a nice cold, wet country, it might give our athletes a chance for once
If we did get it though in 2012, I'd hope to see Rugby on the list of events, and I'd hope we (UK) would manage to enter a football team too, we haven't since the 70s I believe.
Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
Madrid
Why?
Because Spain is awesome

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
New York- they know how to put on a show.
Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
Baghdad.

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
I would agree with Dave, but within the poll options I would go with London.
Why?
1. Get it out of the US and far away from me
2. The US just had it and London is London, it deserves it, England is a great place.

Pft, it sucks in London, can't wait to move out of this place!

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
I voted London since Baghdad wasn't an option. How rainy is it there during the Summer, that would be my main concern. Also, would they make cricket an event?

Anywhere except London, since I don't want to be paying for it for the next 30 years in my council tax thank you very much.

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
Madrid. I think they need some heads up there. And I like the city more than I like London. And besides, who doesnt want olimpic games at 45 degrees Celcius?

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
I don't live there but from what i've heard I'd have to agree.
Honestly? Moscow. Why? Because I hate the olympics and in Moscow the athletes would freeze their ****s off.
Why do you hate Freedom?

Re: Who do you want to host thw 2012 Olympics?
Definitely NOT New York.
Why? I live in New Jersey. It would be a complete mess. The whole tristate area would grind to a halt. And if you think that's exaggeration, you'd be right. But not by as much as you think.
Never mind the incredible job security would have to do. That's like painting a target flag on all the stadiums while blaring "Please shoot and or bomb us now!"
