JPN2020 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2015 Hello All, I'm new to this Forum so forgive me if I have posted this thread in the wrong category. I've been interested in Japanese Bids for a while now and have studied almost all of them, The ones I haven't studied much on is Nagoya 1988 and Yokohama 2008. I managed to find a few things from these Forums related to Nagoya's Bid but I haven't found much on Yokohama's. For those who do not know, Yokohama also submitted a Domestic Bid along with Osaka (Whom the Japanese would end up bidding with). I hope anyone has any info on this Bid or even better, anything related to it (Like Publications of even the Website) Thanks! JPN2020. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APOLOGIES - just properly read your post and realised this is what you meant. *ashamed* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find any other justification for the track being there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
