Glasgow 2014
Scotland is a small country with big ambitions. In the world of sport, that ambition is now directed towards a bid by the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland to host the 20th Commonwealth Games in 2014, in Scotland, in Glasgow.
Over six thousand of the world’s best athletes, seventy-one countries, ten days of world-class competitions and cultural events, hundreds of thousands of visitors would be welcomed to the City and to Scotland with many millions more watching on television throughout the world.
The benefits of staging the Games in Glasgow are obvious. New houses would be built. New jobs would be created and even more sports facilities would be available.. More than that, though, bringing the Games to the city would inspire thousands of young Glaswegians to take up sport. They would instil a sense of pride and confidence in our young people. In short, the Games have the power to change lives.
Over 1 million people have already Backed the Bid but we need your support too. If you haven't already done so, you can still register your support by logging onto www.glasgow2014.com or texting 2014 to 61611.
