Les Henson Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 So what's with the flying tram then? I mean - a big bluddy tram with stick-on wings gliding through a firework display has to mean something? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have to say, I didn't see any of it. There's something strange about this Commonwealth games event. It has been taken as a bit of a yawn around the country and I'm not really sure why? Media attention has been low (except maybe in Melbourne). I have just come back from a work thing in Melbourne and I was staying in the Crowne Plaza hotel, which is right next to the games village. The hotel was far from full, traffic didn't seem much different by Melb standards, even the airport was quiet. It seems all such a pity really because Melb is a great venue for the games. I wonder why the event has started off in such an underwhelming way. Anyone have any ideas about that? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Actually, I can happily say that the atmosphere has really changed now for the games. The pre-games lead up may have been pretty flat, but since it's all been underway the interest level has really picked up around the country (as it should). I have to admit I was a bit worried there for a while, but it's turned out to be a really good event now. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cols110 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I must admit I hav`nt gotten into it, as there ain`t much coverage of it out here in the Middle East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
