Stupid thread. In about 50 years yes of course we should bid again, but not until our turn comes around again.

We bid for 92, 96, and 2000, commonwealth games 2002, and 2014 added to a possible bid for euro 2020 and euro 96, world cup 2006, 2018 and 2022. I doubt there are many countries more equipped than us

OK, but America is big enough to have several cities capable of staging it so thats a bit different

Not quite up to America but not too shabby Manchester were putting bids in for years, in the end the Olympic committee basically turned around and said Manchester is never going to win the bid, the only UK city they would consider is London. It was shortly after that when London was persuaded to bid.

Mexico did it on one city

I don't think any other city in the UK is up to hosting an Olympics
This is awesome but lets not get greedy. Its a once in a lifetime thing.

The Olympics in Mexico in 68 were nowhere like the size they are now. They only got the World cup by default in 86. Also its got to be cost effective to have a World cup and an Olympics back to back,as you can use the same stadia and infrastucture. Saying that im not overconfident in Brasil hosting them both. As for hosting another one,not for me,not because we havent been brilliant hosts,we have,but to much happens when people are at work,i prefer Olympics in diffferent time zones. Everyone on here must remember how brilliant the Tokyo Olympics were !! Being able to watch sport with your breakfast was just amazing,not just for the fact it was sport at 8am,but for the fact it was telly at 8am,(normally the first programme on the BBC was Blue Peter at 16.30,)and it was in grainy black and white far better than todays close up colour shots,it was far more exiting when everbody ran in white and you didnt have a clue who was who. As has been said before,if the Olympics was only for "sitting down"sports we would be top of the medal table.
