Qatar stadiums

[millertop]

Yes very impressed but what will happen once tournament is finished?

Unbelievable that they are retaining only one as the national stadium and they are to dismantle the rest when the World Cup is over.

Money to burn..,,

Is Tony over there trying to make a deal on some 2nd seats to extend NYS?

More likely come back with some shipping containers, tents and crates of bud.

Yep, giving those migrant workers a job, a wage and stopping them from starving, it has to stop

And it probably will given the accident death toll

Like the 30 killed in the construction sector in the UK last year

Thirty is a terrible indictment of the UK building industry's safety record. Pity you can't be more outraged about the thousands who have died in Qatar since they won the WC bid.

I'm not sure what you've been reading Patty but by now most of the 'reputable' news sources have dismissed that theory and put the number around 50. Still not good but by no means the 6,500 I saw mentioned in one article.

Can you give details of the "reputable new sources" you've found Cam? Can't believe Grist hasn't already quoted them.

That’s because the original figures included those that died at work. So for example a Qatari migrant having a heart attack in the office car park would be in those figures. So the real construction deaths are much, much lower than the Guardian would have you believe
