    Why did they always make us play hockey in the middle of winter when we were at school...

    Probably because the grass was shagged and hockey is on a hard court.

    How do you know it would be 'behind closed doors', as you put it?

    I bet no matter what, if they hold in Europe, regardless of city, it will be packed.

    And no chance for Edinburgh with its population of about half a million and no decent sized stadiums.

    I personally think population doesn't matter, I was pointing out to Edelman that Budapest is a big city.

    I personally know that population is the main factor.
    Do you seriously think that the likes of Bristol, Lyon , Canbera or even a large city like Detroit could sustain or have the infastructure for a modern olympics.
    Even Hull got rejected for a handful of world cup games because of hotel rooms.
    Its the bigger the better i think
