When you think about it, we do have a strong link with a lot of sports that other cities don't have.  It's good that this has been recognised!

I'd say Mansfield will have something to say about including Rebecca Adlington as a Nottingham sports star!

We fought off some tough opposition in London and Manchester.

Did you know, it was Notts and Forest who rallied to sport this, along with several non league teams? I can't say how disappointed I am that we as a city have just sat on this title.

I am sure the money has been spent/wisely, yet Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham - I suspect would have made it a community thing.

The news and events have came out very slowly, I'm not impressed.
