Closing ceremony a fiasco as well.
Former Athlete commentators give organisers a blast.
It's turned out a dud all round.
Over indulgent opening ceremony for the Indigenous ... not the concept of the Games or the Athletes.
Poor transport arrangements.
Turned the rest of the Gold Coast into a ghost town .... causing businesses to suffer losses & put off staff.
Then the closing ceremony leaves the Athletes out .... the athletes treat it with the contempt it deserves & leave ...
the stadium is virtually empty halfway through and commentators give it a big spray for organisers getting it wrong.
4 years to get it right & they failed big time.... Good on you Peter Beattie
God help the NRL with this goose in charge.
