steelcityowlsfan Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 With the UK and Ireland looking set to bid for the 2030 World Cup and encouraged to do so by FIFA, it looks likely we will win. With this is mind my question is do you think we would see Hillsborough selected again or might it get overlooked this time by the stain? Will we even be at Hillsborough in 2030?

helmut_rooster Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hope we don't get it, failed everytime we try (since 66) must be a reason why? I do wonder what that could possibly be? We could hold a world cup tomorrow in the country no need to build new stadiums, but they don't ever want us to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be renovated for the bid and obviously that didn't happen. If the World Cup is to be shared across the British Isles far fewer English stadia will be needed.

Whitechapel Owl Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 In all fairness Hillsborough shouldn't be hosting World Cup football anymore. It's nowhere near good enough. The only reason we'd stand a chance is the lack of competition from other clubs in Yorkshire. I assume these days a newer stadium with better facilities would be favoured over ours even if it's a few thousand smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs more stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If its a 4 national tournament they will pick the 4 national stadiums, Old Trafford, West Hams Oympic stadium, Arsenal Emirates Stadium and possible St James Park. Hillsborough is too old, the history and also unsafe currently to even have more than 32,000 in, add to this its in Sheffield and we have the most incompetent council in the country we don't have a chance.

flo Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 the whole reason of having the world cup in England is to have the Final at Hillsborough. if you cant see this you are deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 16 stadiums would be chosen, so Sheffield is bound to get games. Likely 12 in England and the rest elsewhere. What people seem to not realise is that cities can only host one stadium, with the exception of one (London), special dispensation would be sort for more multiple hosts. Wembley Emirates/New WHL Old Trafford Anfield St James Stadium of Light Villa Park Elland Road Hillsborough King Power St Mary's Ashton Gate Murrayfield (Scotland) Hampden (Scotland) Millennium (Wales) Croke Park (Ireland) Would be my picks. Could all change in 12 years though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
