Euro 2028 coming to Wales

Re: Euro 2028 coming to Wales

I wonder where the final will be. Let me guess, in a suburb miles out of town. Why do England have to be involved?

How on earth can Wembley be presumably pretty much guaranteed it after what happened just two years ago?

Re: Euro 2028 coming to Wales

They will. But we've heard from all sorts of fans that loved seeing FA Cup finals in Cardiff. You have to admit that it's pretty special to be in the center of town, drinking in a pub and walking to the ground.

I know, imagine having 250 licenced premises within a mile, probably less…..Wembley is so soulless

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

Your last paragraph is everything that is wrong with UEFA.

Let's cater for the dignitaries who watch football once every four years on s freebie, rather than the stupid fuuckers who pay to go and watch the game.

It’s not just UEFA.The EPL have made Luton spend £10m on “ground improvement projects “ when Kenny Road was fine in the Championship.

Re: Euro 2028 coming to Wales

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.

That's hardly the same thing. The Premier League came in not long after Hillsborough, and having safe grounds was one of the important criteria.

It's much better for Luton's future as a club for them to spend £10m on improving the ground for future seasons, than £10m on a right back.

It’s unnecessary.They are moving to a new ground soon and it’s a waste of materials and money and hardly good for the environment.

Safety has nothing whatsoever to do with it, as the Championship is identical to the EPL

100% agree, and the more it goes on the more it annoys, but they know the average fan can do very little about it
