Cricket coming out in favour of Victoria Park should be a very big moment - a lot of the argument for the Gabba was to retain its cricket tradition wasn't it. I don't see why the AFL don't want to endorse it, especially if they've just won the title. Talk about a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a better stadium built & not be the ones responsible for it!

It is now officially confirmed, Saudi Arabia will officially host it. https://inside.fifa.com/about-fifa/congress/media-releases/extraordinary-congress-appoints-hosts-of-2030-and-2034-editions-of-fifa-world-cup

I remember, on an old forum that I frequented years ago, that we already had this kind of waves of spammers. We had realized that their IP address systematically came from India or Pakistan, and the administrator had set up a system where for all new members who registered with an IP from these countries, the administrator had to manually validate their account before they could post. Of course, in the registration form, there were a few questions that were asked, a bit like on Facebook groups, to try to sort between spammers and real people. I don't know if these spammers come from a single country or from many different countries, but it can be a solution. (if it's technically feasible)

A plan for the New Zealand 2034 bid may see the twenty-two-year-old proposal for an Auckland/Tauranga/Hamilton bid resurrected. This would allow for the return of Squash, 20/20 Cricket and Sevens. Also allow for a full Cycling program to return. Eden Park has been given approval for a new retractable roof and Auckland Council has been told it wouldn't take much to lay the athletics track into North Harbour stadium... the proposed main venue for the failed 2018 bid. (Christchurch has taken the advice of the NZOC and suspended its study into hosting 2030 under the current trimmed down model as Christchurch will get Govt backing to host the 2028 or 2030 World Indoor Athletics Championships. The brand new fully covered OneNZ Te Kaha Stadium will have a 200m track laid down in it.) In size, the games will still not be the mega event that nearly finished them off after cost blow outs forced the cancellation of Victoria Region 2026 games. There will be no "mega spectacle " Opening and Closing ceremonies to help save money. The NZOC will look keenly at how Glasgow 26 gets by without those.

Boxing, eh? Seems like a can of worms considering the the state of boxing governance. Who’s running it? The IBA? A commonwealth federation? If so, is it affiliated with the IBA?

Correction to 2021: When I did my duty in November 2021 2022 and reported spammers to you as the Moderator, you @Sir Rols permanently deleted the entire original 20-pages of the original Brisbane 2032 thread including all the historical posts leading up to and beyond when the bid was won.

@Sir Rols you want to “cast a spell on me”? That is outrageous coming from you. You’re who is supposed to be a responsible amoderator. When I did my duty in November 2022 and reported spammers to you as the Moderator, you @Sir Rols permanently deleted the entire original 20-pages of the original Brisbane 2032 thread including all the historical posts leading up to and beyond when the bid was won. Yes, you actually did that. It’s on the record. So … let’s just rewind that. I report Spammers to you as the moderator on Gamesbids.com in November 2021, and your response is to delete an entire 20-page thread. The number of posts at that point of your deletion was around 1,500 or so. I had to commence an entire new Brisbane 2032 thread after that on 21 November 2021, as you claimed that you could not retrieve the original Brisbane 2032 thread. Here is the link to that re-started Brisbane 2032 thread: Replacement Brisbane 2032 Thread - restarted 20 Nov 2021 ********************** @GBModerator for information.

Sweet Baron Samedi! These voodoo spammers are even worse than the Temu mob Word of advice… they don’t work. I tried to get one of them to cast a spell on AF and nothing happened
