Oh, they all had their own issues. Watts said it would take away from other more important (to her) things like bike lanes and cultural activities. Barkhouse didn't believe the economic numbers. Streatch seemed to have a concern about too much spending. One of them, I forget who, didn't trust FIFA and felt they were being blackmailed to make a quick decision. A few others didn't like it because it wouldn't be in their area. All the usual parochial thinking, none of them see the big picture.
