• 1) If you tell your dentist's office you're moving they don't keep your appointments on the book just in case.
    2) It's hardly fair to the other cities which are bidding to have to run against cities which will not be eligible.

    It would be much weirder if the EU didn't exclude an ineligible city. Embarrassing even, were they to win. Could you imagine the response from the right-wing press in the UK?

    There may be some schadenfreude felt by certain people and places, but it's hard to see this as the main reason for the decision.

  • Yep 1&2 are fair enough too.

    I would expect them to decide quite late (it's 2018 now) and so waiting until 2019 would be super saver "we tried everyone....the UK is SO leaving.

    But it's a bit of a "Whatever you decide people will complain" call :)
