freds dad Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) The Olympic flame will be passing through Bolton next year. Although I don't live in the town any more I think its good that the folk of Bolton will have an opportunity to see this event at close hand. Anyone off here fancy being a torch bearer? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-13425467 Edited May 18, 2011 by freds dad
MalcolmW Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 There's a myth that the Olympic torch relay has been traditional from the start of the modern games. Not so. It was started in 1936 (Berlin).... All part of Goebbels' propaganda, and sweet nothing to do with sport.

Spider Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 If it's carried past the Flea Pit in Horwich I might pop my head out of the door I suppose.
Casino Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Saw it in LA '84, wont bother again how did t'other thing go?
Traf Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Does this mean it's not coming through L/H? Yes, but it is being disguised as a burning XR3i.
