Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Posted May 5, 2013 Wow same person buying lillehammer 1994, 1992, Calgary 1988 and Nagano 1998. Is Nagano the full bid book? Tominger said earlier something about it not being the one sent to IOC. Someone must have been saving for a while. Is it someone among us and sofia 1992* Quote

Lord David Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 You're never going to sell that Manchester bid document. Why not donate it to your local library? Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 I know Well i'd rather keep it then donate it. Quote
Lord David Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Sochi 2014 has arrived, might post pictures tomorrow. Virtually flawless (no damage) except for the slipcase, but that's what they're there for. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Posted May 24, 2013 Can't wait to see pics! Quote
Lord David Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Sorry for being late but here's some pictures: Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 nice! Good work! Looks like a great read! Quote
eternalcobi Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 How did Athens 2004 looked like? As I remember the candidacy logo Quote
eternalcobi Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 How did Athens 2004 looked like? As I remember the candidacy logo Never mind, I saw the candidate files from the outside. BTW, do you have the following files: Candidate files: 2000-Beijing 2000-Istanbul 2006-Torino (Successful) 1992-Barcelona (Successful) 2002-Salt Lake City (Bribed) 2008-Osaka 1980-Moscow (Successful) 2004-Rome 2004-Cape Town 2004-Buenos Aires 2004-Stockholm Applicant Files: 2004-San Juan 2008-Havana 2004-Rio de Janeiro 2004-Seville 2004-Lille 2004-St. Petersburg Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Posted May 29, 2013 I don't have any of those but memorabilia has Lille 2004 he said Quote
Lord David Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 I got a digital version of Lille 2004. What a strange bid that was... Quote
Lord David Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Knock yourself out. It was a semi-professional bid book. They offered many high capacity venues, boasted about no accommodation problems, transport, security etc. But despite a slightly spread out plan, this clearly wasn't enough. http://www.4shared.com/office/PvY7NvvJ/lillevolumeone.htmlhttp://www.4shared.com/office/dExVspc-/lillevolumethree.htmlhttp://www.4shared.com/office/KqARQpbe/lillevolumetwo.html Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Posted June 26, 2013 Got to go to Melbourne for a mini holiday went to the MCG sports museum! Lots of olympic stuff and saw the 1956 Melbourne bid book! Couldn't find the 1996 bid book but was really cool! Quote
Lord David Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Your still trying to sell that Manchester thing? Donate it to your local library already. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Posted June 27, 2013 You said that last time! Why did noone tell me it was worthless when I was going to buy it Quote
tominger Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 I like that summary. I have the book either and although its just a sumamry, its the only information I have from the Manchester 1996 Bid. I have never seen the entire set of Manchester 1996 Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Posted July 10, 2013 I like that summary. I have the book either and although its just a sumamry, its the only information I have from the Manchester 1996 Bid. I have never seen the entire set of Manchester 1996 I didn't know it was a summary when I bought it so yeah. But yeah it's useful Quote
BR2028 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Could you post pictures of Manchester '96? Also does anyone have the Chicago 2016 , Paris 2012, NYC 2012, Moscow 2012, Rome 2004, Athens 2004, Cape Town 2004, Buenos Aires 2004, Berlin 2000, Sydney 2000, Manchester 2000, and Athens 1996? Quote
tominger Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 I have got them all, except the Manchester ones and Athens 1996 (it was to bulky and incomplete, so I sold it). Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 It's not a bid book more of an information thing. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 Bought a 24 page Melbourne 1996 brochure on ebay. There are 4 more brochures but only 4 pages. All of them were $20 each so I thought may as well get the one with the most pages. Oh wow he has the Melbourne 1956 olympic bid book! But $1400! Quote
BR2028 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 ^ Do you have a link to that shop? I have got them all, except the Manchester ones and Athens 1996 (it was to bulky and incomplete, so I sold it). Are you willing to post pictures of them online or sell any of them? Quote
tominger Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 @ Olympic Fan Darcy: I cant see the Bid Book in his listings. 1400 Dollar is ways too much. @BR2028: I dont have any spare copies, except Berlin 2000, New York 2012, Paris 2012, Chicago 2016, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2016 and Annecy and Munich 2018 Quote
