Christchurch!

I dunno, just came back from that city yesterday, even with an eight year lead in to the 2019 bid, the city would simply not cope with the debt. If it's going to be NZ, then it will have to be Auckland (yet again) or Wellington - especially if the format of the Games looks like they are going to change.

Cardiff would round out nicely the UK home countries hosting a good space of time between them.

Interesting to note Cardiff would propose both Rowing and Canoeing to be held.

No, i think it hasnt happened before, and maybe the UK will make a intern process if needed. Liverpool will be nice option

Yet the CGF considers England and Wales (and Scotland, Northern Ireland and the others for that matter) as separate Federations.

I suppose if it comes down to national funding, I suppose the British government could support both, as it would only need to pay for one, but must offer the same amount for all, it's up to the nations themselves and regional governments to fund the rest.

- Bid money must come from local sources and not the British government.
- Funding offered by the British government must be a set amount to be distributed to the proposed venues for each city's bid (regardless if one city is smaller then another, or if one offers more than the other). So if the British government is willing to offer 500 million British Pounds of public funding, then both cities will be secured that amount (of course only one will win and be paid that amount).
- Remainder of funds must be secured by public and private means locally.

As much as I'd obviously love a Welsh bid I think any Commonwealth Games in the near future in the UK (after Glasgow) will be in London just to pay off a little bit more of that Olympic bill.

No doubt Cardiff would be a fantastic host. Wonder if they would scupper London 2030 though.

I can't see London hosting 2030 especially with the centennial being that year and Cardiff bidding for 2026.
