Bring it on! The stadia, sporting facilities, and experience of hosting large scale sporting events are already in place.

Given the outline application ha now gone in for this and the college is well under way it's probably time we had a separate thread for this. Here's the planning decription: http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=NPRT0TNYFY000...

Anyone running this tomorrow? You may want to watch C5 for some views of the city. I cannot believe that this being the second biggest half after the Great North Run (20,000 participants) that the BBC don't seem to realise or care that it's taking place. Really bizarre and a bit of a shame...

So, anyone else taking part again this year? This will be my fourth entry, on the streets I do the 10km in about 54mins but would be happy with anything less than 1hr given the congestion. This year it clashes with the Rugby League Magic Weekend so town will be rammed.

Hi guys just wanted to hear everyone thoughts on Hampden getting redeveloped if our bid is successful and with the continued success of our national team and club teams in Football surly the capacity must be increased. Not to mention making the arena more concert friendly as the oval shape is a...
