BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Call, 28/07/2014

Cathy Macdonald asks listeners how they are coping with the Commonwealth Games.

TOPIC 1: GAMES DISRUPTION
It was a massive weekend for Glasgow's Commonwealth games with an estimated 700,000 visitors to the city. Whilst this has seen a boost for the hospitality sector, it hasn't all gone smoothly, as there have been delays surrounding the road closures for the marathon, and the late arrival of park and ride buses, meant some ticket holders missed the start of the athletics at Hampden. We want to hear from people who have travelled from all over the country to spectate and from locals about their experiences.
Cathy asks: How are you coping with the Commonwealth games?

TOPIC 2: WOMEN'S BOXING
Boxing history will be made today as women's boxing will be included in the Commonwealth Games for the first time. It follows on from the inclusion of women's boxing in the Olympic Games in London two years ago. Later today, we'll see gold-medallist Nicola Adams take the ring. NB - we will be talking to Nicola's mum at 0925am arranged via Geoff
Cathy asks: How would you feel if your daughter wanted to be a boxer?

Extra Question:
