I
am a great Judo fan and I really hope there will be good coverage
of Judo in the Commonwealth games. The 大象传媒 are great for sport coverage
and I am very impressed on every top sporting event the 大象传媒 cover;
for example the summer and winter Olympics and the world cup was very
enjoyable to watch. Judo doesn't get the oppotunity to be televised
often and it has been a sport that produces medals for Britain and
England in top events. Like Kate Howey, Graham Randell, Ray Stevans,
Neil Adams, Karen Briggs and the "dips" champion Brian Jacks. The
1990 Commonwealth Games England took home all but 2 of the 16 gold
medals. Judo may not be as popular as athletics or swimming, it may
not be as interesting to watch as Gymnastics, but we have high quality
competitors in Manchester and there are people like myself who wish
to have the oppotunity to see them on the 大象传媒. Thankyou for your time
to read this e-mail and I know with all the sports in the games it
is difficult to please everybody but I do hope you please me and other
Judo fans.

In
reply to Lee Emberson of London's complaint re the rail operators
strike I completely agree with his sentiments. They have not done
their cause one happorth of good and it was really enlightening to
know that the strike did not receive the publicity that it was obviously
after. Manchester has worked its butt off to get everything right
for these games and deserves the backing of everyone in the city.
The actions of the strikers will not be forgotten.

I
agree with Jemima. Football is rich enough without having to rely
on subsidised facilities. We need to be able to compete in athletics
with the US, Canada, Australia, etc., and need the facilities to do
it.

Just
to let you know that Wilf O'Reilly took a Tamper Proof Sports Drink
Bottle out to Coca Cola HQ in Atlanta before the 1996 Olympic Games
were held there. Every Competitor could have had their Sport Drink
arrive Sealed, the ability to reseal after opening eliminating any
chance of having their Drink "Spiked" as Janine Whitlock is now suggesting
happened to her. The Manufacturers will only provide these if and
when the IOC, CGOC, WCOC and our National Sports Associations request
them from those paying to Sponsor them or their Event. Let's hope
it doesn't happen again in Manchester between the 25th July and the
4th August and you have the Best CG ever !

After
all the fantastic plannig by the organisers I have just learnt that
First Great Western train company plan to strike during the games.
Since I was relying heavily on train transport this has been a major
setback. I have e-mailed my disgust to ASLEF and urge others to do
the same. It seems a shame that after so much effort Manchester is
going to be let down by congested roads and a generally miserable
time for spectators and residents alike.

Will
everyone stop knocking the games. They have been organised brilliantly
and are superb for the UK. Lets stop the politics and enjoy the sports.

I'm
horrified to see the level of council spending on "prettifying" the
roads leading to, and buildings around the centre of Manchester. It's
all some very predictable corporate bumph in order to gain prestige
without real, honest intentions. The games are 10 days for god's sake.
After that, the pretty flags come down, the lovely stadium will become
a home for that most futile and tribal sports, football, and Manchester
will be counting the cost of a very BIG junket for the rich, the famous
and the well-connected. I'd very much like to see the council's faces
one year on when all this lovely sponsorship money and so-called regeneration
dries up, and Manchester is once more left to its own devices, and
abandoned by the promised "investment". Oh, and yes, I'll watch the
sports, but I can't stand the hype! ENOUGH!

I
just wanted to congratulate the organisers of M2002 so far. I am really
looking forward to the games and have found everything to be very
well organised in preparation. Hope that Manchester really does itself
justice during the games, its a fantastic city and I cant wait for
July 25th.
