I wonder where the final will be. Let me guess, in a suburb miles out of town. Why do England have to be involved?
Champions league final in Cardiff was amazing
While I dont disagree, it has to be said Wembley has the prestige, it was always a icon in football stadia, as a youngster on the streets of Armenia you might dream of playing in Wembley, not soo much the " principality stadium in Wales "
I went down to Wembley for the Ladies FC cup final, the area around it is very nice now, well developed, yes with Chain Bars and Cafes, but its been done very well
London also has all the sights for the visitors, its got a very decent efficient underground, when UEFA bring the 5000 guests, where are they likely to want to go ? ? shopping in designer shops, see Buck House, be dined in numerous fancy Michelin stared restaurant
Get used to it, the Welsh public are soft and weak. I can imagine there would be protests and riots in the streets if any other country had to pay for a neighbours transport project with no benefit to them whatsoever. Embarrassing really but that's Wales in a nutshell when it comes to these things.
Back on euro28, it would be a great outcome for Wales if we can host the opening match and it should be a semi final, Wembley butchered the last final it had so it's lucky to even be considered, let alone get both semi finals as well.
Casement Park in Belfast is an interesting one, given its history. I was talking to a mate from Belfast last night. He used to live within 3 minutes of the ground and used to watch GAA there with his Dad. He couldn't believe it might host international football, but is determined to re-visit if it does. Be interesting to see if they manage to rise to all the funding and other challenges.
Interesting on the day ulez gets the go ahead to be extended.
No doubt it’s been discussed before but which team auto qualifies?
Will be a kick in the teeth if we are hosting and don’t qualify.
Has that happened before?
Stadiums nominated in the bid.
Wembley Stadium - London
• National Stadium of Wales - Cardiff
• Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - London
• City of Manchester Stadium - Manchester
• Everton Stadium - Liverpool
• St James' Park - Newcastle
• Villa Park - Birmingham
• Hampden Park - Glasgow
• Dublin Arena - Dublin
• Casement Park - Belfast
What a joke international football has become.
I'm sure uefa will want the final played at Wembley as it's the biggest stadium but both semis should be played elsewhere and not in England.
I'd make England play their group games away from Wembley too - Azerbaijan is nice I hear.
