ScoRoss Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Seems Italy are one of the first nations to make a priority to make a bid. Obviously, there are a lot of renovations to make to their stadiums, but they have some fantastic historical stadiums.
Lucas Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Italia '90 will always go down as one of the legendary World Cup's for many reason's. And whilst I was too young for that tournament, I've seen enough highlight's and flashbacks to understand just how special hosting a big tournament would be for Italy, especially the passion and exuberance that they show for their national team. Unless they are strongly opposed by another country with a superior claim to hosting, I'm totally for them getting it. It's about time really a big Footballing nation such as Italy had their opportunity to shine again and it would be a great chance for them to showcase and prove that Italy can host a big tournament without the troubles that used to surround them.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 20, 2018 Subscriber Posted December 20, 2018 I hope they get it. I remember growing up and watching a lot of Italian teams do well and to think they haven't hosted something as big as the WC in over two decades is a bit shocking to me. They have the culture, they have the history and they have produced some entertaining and world class moments for the sport. I wonder if they national team will be revamped in time for it as well because I genuinely like seeing them do well.

Danny Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Not sure why Celtic Park and Ibrox have been missed out? Don’t need 3 stadiums in London or two in Mancester if key cities are being missed out elsewhere. Don’t need two in Dublin when you could use a stadium in the south of Ireland. How have both Sunderland and Newcastle made the list but nothing in Bristol?

Any bid from the SFA would include Hampden (a hopefully redeveloped Hampden), and there would be no end to the shambles it would cause if they picked only one of the others as well. Personally, if Hampden isn't going to be redeveloped, I'd rather have the other two instead. But the SFA were always going to include their own stadium.

For some reason I thought Hampden was in Edinburgh...makes sense. Still think stadiums could be better shared around Ireland and England though.
Honey Honey Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Didn't local councils have to put their cities forward in conjunction with the stadium owners? It wasn't just some bloke picking what he wanted. The list will also be reduced down in April.

Honey Honey Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Sunderland is a left field shout to be fair. You wonder what Leeds and Sheffield did.

Brighton, Bristol, Norwich…could have been shared out across England a lot more by removing 4 stadiums from Manchester, London and the North East.
Spike Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Come on, at least two cities from each constituent.

To be fair 4 have to be dropped from the list, other than 1 of the Dublin one's the other 3 will have to come from England. Once you drop Sunderland, West Ham and Man City there's just no way Brighton or Norwich would ever be able to compete with what the remaining bring in location and stadia.

Only chance it won’t get used is if it’s down to that or Croke Park imo. But it would be great to see them bring the comp down to Cork.

Yeah, I know England has the most stadiums and people, and London even more so but there is a lot of culture and places out in the UK and Ireland that never get the same love. Spread it out, as many cities should be involved as possible.

Tbh wouldnt surprise me if they did choose Croke Park over everything as it’d become a poignant moment in Irish history sharing the tournament with Britain. But yeah I agree, spread it out as much as you can. Could probs leave Swansea out though, only an hour or so away from Cardiff

Liverpool is even closer to Manchester than that.
