So if you had Wembley and Tottenham's stadium then you couldn't have Old Trafford and the Etihad. Stadiums must also have minimum of 40,000 seats and that rises to 60,000 for quarter finals and semi final. Final and opening ceremony must be 80,000 Its also a UK & Ireland bid Wembley Tottenham Stadium or Twickenham Old Trafford St James Park St Mary's (If expanded) Villa Park Anfield Stadium of Light Hampden Celtic Park Millennium stadium Aviva stadium of light will b e a no no, Sunderland's a poo hole. You'll have places like Brighton, Forest will have redeveloped by then. Everton will have a new ground. And you'll have one at least in Yorkshire.

darra Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 If we aren't in the premier league no. If we are in the premier league there could be a chance of them picking the new ground we've moved to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back even though Dave Richards is not well thought of now I think he did see as an honour having Euro 96 games and that it was good for Sheffield. Chansiri not bothered about 1 little bit about Sheffield or prestige of the club. I think with Chansiri as Chairman it's a non starter. You don't think Chansiri would find it prestigious to have the biggest football tournament in the the world included at a stadium He owns? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Leeds is seen as a much more modern and fashionable city than Sheffield..but the ground is a shocker tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but I dont think he has the nous to put everything together to get something like this on. The 150 Year Celebrations were a bit of a farce and hosting world Cup games is 100 times more complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 50 minutes ago, shezzas left peg said: Will never happen. There's a permanent black cloud over Hillsborough ever since, it would upset the scousers and all the plastic Liverpool fans in the media /High positions that grew up in the rush Dalglish when they won everything. I don't think that would be an issue. It wasn't 7 years after the disaster when we were picked for the Euros. It's just that the ground is old and knackered, would need a complete rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 1 hour ago, trev said: I meant facility wise. Not size. Why bother making the extra 10k seats usable? We ain't filling Hilsborough in league one. Maybe for 1 or 2 freak games where we clinch promotion or something. Not worth the expense when we can't even pay the staff now. Agree it’s not top of the priorities but we need to come away from the view of we’ll sort it when we get to the premier league. It’ll never get sorted if we’re waiting for that and there’s plenty of clubs in the championship and lower leagues with modern grounds. It’s a bit of pointless discussion at the minute anyway because Chansiri doesn’t look to have any plans with the ground and we won’t be selected as part of any World Cup bid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 We had some group games in the Euro 96s. I be very surprise if Hillsborough gets picked to host matches if England/Ireland win the bid to host the world cup in 2030. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there were quite a few six nations rugby games played as well. If it's a joint bid can see them putting both Croke Park and Aviva forward.
