GLASGOW: Glasgow 2014 - Back Scotland's Bid
Back Scotland's Bid to host 2014 Commonwealth Games. Scots in London
and Whyte and Mackay are calling on you to join a host of famous Scots
to Back Scotland's Bid to bring the 2014 Commonwealth Games to Glasgow.
Famous names that have pledged their support already include Colin
Montgomerie, Lulu, Nick Nairn, Olympic champion Chris Hoy and The
Proclaimers. Thousands of people living in Scotland have registered
their support as well as local authorities, schools, sports clubs and
companies, including Whyte and Mackay, BAA, Morrisons, Scotrail and
Baxters.
Hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games will bring substantial economic
benefits to both the city and the country, including regeneration of
transport, housing and the environment.
New and renovated sporting facilities will give Scotland a platform to
promote healthy living and sport throughout the country. It will also
offer Scotland's sports men and women a chance to shine - results from
previous games show that when held on home territory, the number of
medals a country wins increases.
In addition, hosting the games is a fantastic opportunity to show
millions of people across the world that Scotland is a modern,
ambitious and dynamic nation, capable of staging an international
event.
Glasgow has submitted a strong bid but faces competition from Abuja in

will be awarded the 2014 Games will be made in November 2007.
