I don't get why they would add Ashton Gate, it's hardly a footballing hot bed down that way

 

Also no need for 2 North East grounds IMHO

Could work in favour for the bid and taking football to where it isn't as popular. Must admit Sunderland was the one I had more concerns about, Norwich would be a good bet as an alternative but not sure they'd be keen to increase the ground capacity. I found it interesting that an outsider still considered Hillsborough on the list.

I don't think our bid would need to concentrate on promoting the game within our own country, and Cardiff isn't that far anyway

 

I think plenty would think of Hillsborough as a reasonable contender- based on history, it's us that are more doubtful due to the state of the place I would say. 

 

Hillsborough is world famous too-for bad reasons, but could it be seen as a way to promote what happened, why there was a fence up, how far the game has come in that nothing like that is needed here now and a kind of remembrance on the world level?
