These are the latest odds given on another forum as to the probability of a town being given CITY status this year. It seems to be decided that some award/s will be made.

I put it up as Reading are the favourites!!


Reading 8/1
Doncaster 10/1
Guildford 12/1
Middlesbrough 12/1
Omagh 12/1
Dover 12/1
Bournemouth 12/1
Luton 14/1
Colchester 14/1
Tower Hamlets 16/1
Aberystwyth 16/1
Ayr 16/1
Milton Keynes 20/1
Stockport 18/1
Coleraine 20/1
Bolton 20/1
Dorset Town 20/1
Blackpool 25/1
Croyden 25/1
Southend 25/1
Ipswich 25/1
Stevenage 25/1
Wrexham 33/1
Swindon 40/1
Goole 40/1


Are you agreed that the Queen will probably give the town city status?
Would you in fact like Reading to become a city?
What about the other names on the list?

Get the roads sorted out first!But we are the biggest town so it would be a natural progression,call it Madejcity.... But,Guilford looks more like a city,great roads/Uni/Cathedral and nicer town centre,so I would vote for them.

I thought the two main criteria to becoming a city was a university and a cathedral.

I understood it was only having a cathedral - look at tiny St David's in Wales ...
