I doubt very much they will. I know lots of people who travel all over the world to watch England play and not one of them wants to go to Bangladesh.

Hence why most Bangladeshis come to the UK for a free lifestyle.

I bet the money comes from investors - probably international ones - that hope to recoup the expenses. I wouldn't be surprised if that money just flows through Bahrain withless than a percent sticking there.

If you count the sponsorship money and TV royalties, Bangladesh is making far more than $100 million to host the world cup. It is another thing that they will still not spend that money on population control, education and flood defences.

Yes, and such events have a real positive impact on the people in the country, which is also good for education, economy, ...

kdgupta87

well population growth is under control now. but they should really used in education and flood, but cricket is more than game to us. like football in Brazil , Hope from tourism or visitor of world cup we may get our money back. at least i hope

kdgupta87

kdgupta87

reason is alcohol is banned here

kdgupta87

for money not for lifestyle

That is why the Qatar World Cup in 2020 will be a failure. No Europeans will go to a country with no booze.

Should LondonBritain pull the plug on the billions the Olympics will cost us?

Dalek Dave

And yet in all other Cricket Nations alcohol is seen as an obligatory part of the experience.

I hope too. Gicen the natural conditions there (subject to high tides and cyclones) you need to invest in infrastructure.

My personal view at the time was to let Paris win it and have all the costs involved and the security nightmare, and those who wanted to see it could get on a train. I still think it was a huge mistake. We are pissing away Billions that could be spent on funding hospitals, schools and the Armed Forces.

No - the whole cost should go on Londoners Council Tax! Have you guessed I don't live in London? :laugh:

The whole bill should be made out to the last Communist Labour Cabinet.

I much prefer to see a poor country, where the population love the sport, get the WC. It is much better than the Football equivalent where the richest country get its. Anyone with half a brain can see that the Qatar 22 will be a complete farce.

OriginalGriff

The last Labour Cabinet. Hm. The last Labour Cabinet. No, don't think we've had one of them in a loooong while. Labour politicians are as right wing as the Tories! :laugh:

50 Degree heat, no hooch, tiny country with football grounds going to be only a few miles away from each other and not enough police to stop the fighting between supporters. Hmmmm.
