India has to hurry on this one or this could be another one for Durban

they could swap with London, seeing the stadiums are almost identical

From the outside they're incredibly similar. Internally, they're quite different stadiums though. Those photos from inside the Delhi stadium look nothing like London's stadium.

What odds can you get that Delhi will not be ready and where will they stage the games instead?

Maybe they will need to stage it in 2011.

Got to say, I am not really surprised. A lot of the business I work with is over in India and basically if you want something done you need to hold a blow torch to their feet to get them to do anything. To get them to make a decision, well that just does not compute.

Luckily for India noone watches the Commonwealth Games anymore so it will go unnoticed.

Actually, when the bid was made in 2003, there was an option of building a new 75K Stadium at Kalindi Kunj with a budget to Rs. 160 Cr (USD 32 Million).
Since it was felt the renovation would more or less cost the same as constructing a new stadium elsewhere.
But due to all unkonwn reasons as has been the case thus far w.r.t. construction updates, the Commitee did not go ahead with this plan.

As some of you guys had said, the track seems far from the stands, well after completion they may look little closer. But, the IOA could have put their brains to work for an instance and tried the following:
JLN has hosted Cricket Matches 1983 (vs Pak) & 1991 (vs SA)
Board of Control for Cricket in India, BCCI wants its own Stadium with 75 to 80K. They were in the look out Delhi with initial plans of Delhi being the 2011 WC Final venue.
IOA could have leased the JLN to BCCI for 30 yrs for say USD 30 to 40 Million and use that money to construct the new stadium by pursuing with the State, Central Govts and Civic agencies at Kalindi Kunj or any other proper location.

The following could have been the positives out of it:
i. Enormous cost saving
ii. A Main Athletic/Football stadium which is spectator friendly with closer views
iii. BCCI having another gr8 stadium in its kitty. Belive me the FSK Cricket Stadium in Delhi is pathetic even after the USD 15 Million makeover.

Doooooooooooode.........delhi has spent 112 million usd on renovation of JN stadium...........

its not how much has been spent. its the fact that they are behind in construction dude.

Must be said, the stadium is absolutely massive, and the stands look almost doubly further away from what would be the pitch than most athletics stadiums.

No wonder they're behind on building it.
