Elvin Parsnip Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Wouldn’t surprise me if we got chosen as their are so many dodgy people involved and redeveloping stadiums gives plenty of opportunities for backhanders etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside football United seem a lot more keen on staging things over last few years. Boxing, Rugby League World Cup, Rod Stewart, Womens Cup Finals, Local Non League Cup Finals, International School boys football. Cant remember anything at Hillsborough apart from Wednesday games over last few years. Don't forget they've got a hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 No chance Hillsborough gets picked Still trapped in the 20th century Lack of parking Houses to close Only thing going for it is Hillsborough Park for a fanzone And god forbid Dc is owner he'd probley want 100 million on top of free stadium investment to host the matches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Normally about 8 venues used, will be Villa Park, Old Trafford, Anfield, Emirates, West Hams former Olympic stadium, Spurs new one, St James Park and that just English stadiums Hillsborough with a gate of about 32,000 currently with safety restrictions. Would need some million spent on it to just bring it up to 20th century standards and our chairman cannot afford the heating let alone developing the stadium. I think the time of internationals at Hillsborough are over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Might also be worth remembering that it'll be the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup in Uruguay, and South America, come 2030, will have hosted the tournament once in 50 years (Brazil in 2014; the last time before that was Argentina in 1978). Even though North America will host the 2026 tournament, you'd think that would give them a good chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_armo Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Of course Sheffield would get games if they needed 16 or more venues, what other cities other than the big ones named would be able to cope with all the fans in hotels etc. Also they wont even go on how Hillsborough is now, like last time it scored higher than Elland Road and Bumhole Stain on all the areas marked such as space for redevelopment etc... Nothing has changed with any of the grounds since so why would it not get picked this time?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally tournaments try to spread the locations across the host country; but would it matter if the Arsenal, Spurs, and West Ham were all selected? Man City and Man Utd Liverpool and Everton Or would you want to pick a shittier ground, because it’s in a different location. E.g. Sheff Utd, Brighton, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hillsborough belongs to the Chansiri family, we are just using it. 2030 is a long way off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
