Greenwich, Sheffield, Manchester, Blackpool, Cardiff, Newcastle and they picked Manchester!

Mind you Liverpool is the City of Culture next year and its at the other end of the motorway so theyre banking on the visitors going to that. Also you do have the prawn sandwich brigade at Old Trafford.

I thought they would have given it to London - they've got to find a use for the dome somehow! Plus the amount of visitors London's going to get with the olympics and in the run up to it and never mind just normal tourists London should have been the logical choice. Blackpool with its history of gambling and being a holiday resort well why not. Cardiff is the capital of wales and does Cardiff not have any casino's anyway? Anyway its in the North so its us thats going to get the fall out when people cant afford food, kids clothes,rent, electric, gas, phone bills - not on Londons doorstep is it?
