Gamesbids Livechat: Opening Ceremony Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

I assume he'll go into storage until a dedicated structure is built either at the Smithfield site or in the new BBC area they just announced at Digbeth - whichever is built first. Or the HS2 station if that somehow comes first. As long as he stays intact, that's what matters. There was also some talk of a "Millennium Point", I must admit I don't know where that is. I also like the idea of putting it in the concourse at New Street, mainly because I'd totally pay to see them try to get him in there

A new story of Birmingham people power for the next ceremony - the bull is saved!

He'll be staying in Centenary Square until the end of September (I'll be able to get some pics of him!), then it sounds like he'll get a permanent indoor home

Been meaning to post this here for a few days now, because they've announced that the bull will have a permanent home... the concourse at New Street Station. Yes, really:

It's a big space, but he's a big bull - could get interesting at rush hour. As for how they're going to get him in there...who knows
