Visited the Olympic Stadium in Barcelon last week and saw the amount of facilities installed in the area with regards to things like hotels,roads networks,communications towers and just the cleaning up of the city in general.Made me realise how much we are lacking.

But if we knew were getting Euro 2008 and Jack McConnell or whoever decided to inject a huge amount of cash, that Scotland has probably never been given before, invested in infrastructure for the purpose of hosting Euro 2008, we could turn all that around: we'll have over 5 years to do it! Remember - how many stadia do Austria and Switzerland have ready? We've got four world class stadiums already, we're just lacking a bit on the transport/accomodation etc. side of things.
Our transport system should be drastically improved even if we don't get Euro 2008.

Our infrastructure is good. Glasgow has countless 3* hotels and is now building more 4* and up and has the largest integrated transport system outside London. Edinburgh copes with hordes of tourists every year especially during the festival. Dundee and Aberdeen can host the games too and any problems can be addressed in the years leading up to the championships.

I got the definite impression when i was there that Barcelona's facilities and roads and everything were so good because they had the olympics, not the reason for getting it. Maybe if we got 2008 it would give an excuse or force the government into improving these things

I wouldn't have said that the access to the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona was that good - there's only one road up to the stadium is there not? From what I recall, it's the one that the city tour bus takes and it goes up one side of Montjuic (sp?) and down the other. Fantastic stadium, mind, although not as good as the Nou Camp.
