Far too many new grounds that would take priority, I suppose you are right if we look at it geographically. How can we compete with the likes of The New York Stadium.

dani_armo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) If we bid for it Hillsborough and Sheffield will get chosen 100% Last time it scored higher on the criteria than elland road...bumhole stain etc Edited August 2, 2018 by dani_armo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Bet 365 put something on twitter about this and the possible venues which included our beautiful venue. Needless to say it sent the piggies squeeling. I think people are downplaying our chances of getting this. Obviously we’re not talking Hillsborough as it currently is today as it would be vastly improved (at least to the standards proposed about 10 years ago). With the amount of venues needed, even if Scotland and Wales weigh in, they’ll need at least 2 Yorkshire cities/venues. This of course leads to the obvious choice of ourselves and them up the M1. The WC will be due to come back to Europe by then and long overdue Western Europe. Added to this, we could host one tomorrow and have a country full of suitable stadia that will be well used before and after. There seems no other choice. Then again, I thought that about 2006 and 2018 so take no notice of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope that before 2030 we have our border controls sorted out. I wouldn’t bet on it at this rate. Oooo bit of politics right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillsborough has a certain charm, however the facilities are an absolute shambles as is the catering side of things. Absolutely no chance at all that it would be chosen as a world cup stadium. They do rebuild them you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case any ground in the country is a potential venue then as they can all be rebuilt. I was talking about as it stands now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
