Supposedly we need to put forward 10 stadiums to declare a bid but all 3 nations have the same problem. Too many stadiums in the same city and pretty poor transport infrastructure.

 

Id see the current choices as

 

Murrayfield

Hampden

Millenium Stadium

Aviva Stadium

Expanded White rock stadium

 

5 others from where though?

New Stadiums in Dundee & Aberdeen?

New Stadiums in Wrexham & Aberystwyth?

New Stadiums in Cork, Limerick & Galway ?

Not a chance of getting this. Reason no other nation has bid this time is UEFA as good said Turkey would get it after not getting it in last 3 attempts.

Never gonna happen-

Rangers being punished, AFC signing Hasselbaink, Scotland being able to afford Euro 2020/ever appearing in Euros.

 

I'm getting fed up with all these delusional threads now!

I thought they said that the Ukraine / Poland Euro's was going to be the last joint bid anyway? (I haven't read the article).

And why would they think having a 3 country bid where none of the countries share a land border would be a good idea?

Exactly, ludicrous idea.

And why would they think having a 3 country bid where none of the countries share a land border would be a good idea?

 

Japan and South Korea were hardly close.

 

There's no chance of this going ahead.

 

Hampden, Ibrox, Murrayfield, Easter Road, Wiggie Arena, Millennium Stadion, New Ninian Park, Swansea(?), Landsdown Road & Croaker would be an alright line up.

 

If we're that short of Stadiums, can't we do what Denmark did in 1992 and just 'borrow' some from across the border, like say: St. James's/SoL?

 

The only other bids are Turkey & Georgia, or which if Istanbul gets the 2020 Olympics, it's gonna be us or Georgia for the Euros, scary thought.

can't we do what Denmark did in 1992

 

what

Fail to qualify from our group but get let in when another country descends into civil war and then win the tournament when its being hosted by Sweden?

You cant have 2 stadiums in the same city let alone next door to each other (Ninian and Millenium stadium)

Err...yes?

 

I only learned today (ie. right now) that Euro '92 wasn't hosted by Denmark.

Yeah you can.

 

Portugal had 2 stadiums in Lisbon & 2 in Porto. You're not allowed to use 3 in the same city.

 

Ninian & Millennium are also fucking miles apart. I had to get a train between them last time we played down there.

Yes, 2.1 of them.

 

Get the train from Central to Ninian.

 

Costs £1.85.

 

(There's barriers at Central, so it's not possible to bump it)

 

(ALSO: Ninian's been demolished FYI your information)

Yes and the new stadium is across the car-park from it

Wonder if Jock Steins ghost will be haunting someone's house?

Can you imagine the Celtic fans if a Celtic bid goes through and they dont use Parkheid!

Thomond Park in Limerick would probably be suitable, with two temporary stands at either end.

Just an added bonus that 

Ach, use Harmsworth, Dudgeon, MacKessack, Claggan and Grant Park!

I'm already bored of this bid. I hope it fizzles out as quickly as possible.

Why waste thousands of pounds bidding etc when Turkey have more or less been promised it.

That is why no other countries are bothering with it.

As a matter of interest here is the Turkey stadia

Interesting idea, could be pretty cool

I too think this is an interesting idea.

 

It'll either be amazing or utterly shite though.

Glad to see they're making things easy for the fans... 

Shite idea. For the very reason that ED has stated. Money grabbing bastards.

Yeah, cause UEFA are gonna make sure that Lisbon & Moscow host Group A and then Athens and Reyjkavic are used for Group B and so on.

 

You're also less likely to be able to find a bed in major European Cities rather than the 6th biggest city in Poland.

 

Bigger stadia will also mean less fans can get into matches. There's also less scope for neutral fans.

 

We should just instantly dismiss this as shite cause it's a change to the Status Quo.
