Owl_For_a_Lifetime Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63650914 14 stadiums proposed... 2 x Dublin (Croke Park & Aviva) 1 x Belfast (new stadium) 1 x Glasgow (Hampden) 1 x Cardiff (Millenium) 3 x London (Olympic, Spurs, Wembley) 2 x North East (Sunderland & Newcastle) 3 x North West (United, City, new Everton) 1 x Birmingham (Villa Park) Not exactly spreading it around. I get capacity is the driver for non celtic stadiums but Yorkshire / East Midlands could have at least had one instead of 2 being up in the NE or 3 in NW.... Do you really need 50k seats for Latvia Vs Slovakia or Albania Vs Iceland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said there is no Yorkshire or East Midlands ground that is suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 No Hillsborough, Stadium MK, Annfield, Emirates, Amex, Walkers, or St Marys. Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really need 50k seats for Latvia Vs Slovakia or Albania Vs Iceland? You dont get games like that in the euros because its 1st they have to qualify and then the groups are seeded. you need at least 35k for the smallest games if its played in UK Edited November 16, 2022 by flo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl_For_a_Lifetime Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 This probably explains it better, new Everton stadium capacity to be 52,000, Belfast 35,000. With exception of Belfast every other stadium holds more that 40K.... The condition of Hillsborough & Elland Road most likely contributed to them not being selected. Pride Park, Bramall Lane & King Power too small... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Whilst there was never a chance of S6 hosting, it’s kind of sad there’s no Yorkshire ground. County of 7m people (I think) and not represented. Without getting political, not sure why we are including / partnering Ireland… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
