Lord Snooty Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 More chance of platting fog than our ground ever being selected to host any major events again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragonOwl Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Be surprised if either Sheffield club got it. If they choose Yorkshire as a host they'll pick Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howards back Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 What’s the point. We all know what will happen. We ( uk )will put a good case forward wheel Prince William and Beckham out and FIFA will give it to the Germans They will be due to have it again by then.

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. Aviva holds 51,000 against 82,000 at Croke Park. When they decided to allow non Gaelic games to be played was passed by over 2/3rds of members ,so I imagine that rubicon has been crossed and would not be that difficult to allow 4? world cup games. Logically Celtic aught to host the Scotish games ..but local politics mean that ain't likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuncornOwl94 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I think a ground with running water in the bogs is more likely to be chosen to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 150 Year Celebrations were a bit of a farce and hosting world Cup games is 100 times more complicated. Well I'd imagine most of the organisational stuff will be done by fifa officials, just the match days where the club and staff have to be at their game, all hypothetical really though with the stadium in its current condition.

Hedwig Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thinking about it, as it is a UK & Ireland bid, they are probably going to have stadiums in each of the capital cities so that's 5 gone, so 10-11 to go at... Wales Millenium Stadium + Liberty Stadium Scotland Murrayfield + Hampden + 1 of Ibrox or Celtic Park ? NI Windsor Park R of I Aviva or Croke Park England Wembley Tottenham Stadium Anfield Old Trafford or Etihad St James Park Villa Park St Marys + a couple others that might be a bit left-field ( Pride Park / Elland Road / KCOM ) ??

But they'd have to have a capacity of 40,000. Plus there'd probably be no more than 1 per city except in London. So if it's 16 venues (as it will be in 2026), you'd have, I'd imagine, 2 each in Scotland and London, 1 each in Ireland and Wales, and 10 more in England. Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham would get 3, then there'd be at least 1 in the northeast. After that, any other option would need upgrading to make the capacity requirement.

Sheff74 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 There are too many other, much better stadiums now, that won't need anything like as much of a refurb. In England alone: Wembley Emirates New WH Lane Stamford Bridge Villa Park Molineaux Pride Park Old Trafford Etihad Anfield Goodison's replacement Elland Road St James Park Stadium of Light Riverside Then add in the Principality in Wales, both Glasgow grounds, Hampden Park, and whatever the Irish put forward. A run down Hillsborough really won't stand a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Uniform Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Elland Road is such a poor stadium. You drive up and see that mega stand, then you see the rest of it is like millmoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Windsor Park is too small. Croke Park won't be available as it clashes with the GAA intercounty championship. So Aviva is only stadium Ireland (North and South) could offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You drive up and see that mega stand, then you see the rest of it is like millmoor Yeah it's not great. They are doing a lot of work outside of the West stand at the moment, new car parks, access ramps etc. They've also just recently plonked two new massive floodlight pylons in the middle of the car park that are angled over the stand roof. I think these might be temporary as they had plans to rebuild the west stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildatheart67 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 In the 2018 bid one of the proposed grounds was a 40,000 capacity Home Park at Plymouth. Bristol City was going to get a complete new ground ,so they will likely be out as they have done a major redevelopment if Ashton Gate. The Chinese owners if Wolves have a long term plan to increase capacity to 50,000 as unlikely as it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A stadium I like that has never hosted a Premier League game and the Championship for only one season is the MK Dons stadium. Yes it's a modern bowl type but I think it has more character than other new stadiums such as King Power, St Marys, Stadium of Light. It holds 30,000 at the moment but was built with the scope to be easily upgraded to 45,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
