World Cup host cities

stadium:mk and Plymouth get in, Derby Hull and Leicester out. Looks like we will be battling with the Olympic Stadium, as from what i can read The Emirates and Wembly are certs.

I'm kinda surprised about the decision to include Hillsbrough over say Derby or Leicester. Though it's a bigger city and better for hotels, the stadium is dicrepit and severely outdated already in my view. Add another 10 years and a broke Wednesday not being able to improve it and we have a seriously shit venue on our hands.

They are renovating it mate.

 

[Kendall]

I think they need to renovate their team too!

That's good, I assume they must be getting some help from the council as I'm sure they're pretty broke.

 

[werty]

Liverpool have said they're paying for renovation themselves.

If our new stadium is maybe going to be one, does that not mean that the pitch will be further away from the fans, like at the Emirates? :shrug:

Thought we weren't going for the type of stadium that lacks atmosphere.

If all goes to plan and we have our new stadium by then, the FA would be mugs for not choosing it. From the mock ups alone it shits all over the emirates.

Why would it be changed?

Why would it be changed?

FIFA regulations and all that nonsense.

I'd be surprised if the Olympic stadium ended up as part of the World Cup, as the Olympic committee would have to renege on one of the factors that won them the games in the first place, that the stadium would remain a dedicated athletics stadium, and therefore not stay as an 80,000 stadium...
