Matt Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) couldnt see if this had been started already, apologies if it has: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8946745.stm Im sure were all behind it, but would Goodison still be considered as one of the grounds to host the game? apparently not according to this!

marcopaulo Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 i'm sure that was decided ages ago and it was mentioned then..can't quite remember but it's not a massive shock i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Goodison was never submitted as a possible host - the stadium in Kirkby and the use of Finch Farm were Everton's contribution to the Liverpool's host city submission. GP will probably host a warm up game or something if England is chosen. I was disappointed that Goodison was not submitted for the Olympics.

rubecula Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I don't think any games are scheduled for being played in Liverpool at all (Neither GP nor Analfield) Nearest is Manchester and both Old Trafford and City Of Manchester stadiums are mooted.

holystove Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8946745.stm Russia is expected to be England's biggest rival for the 2018 prize, with Spain/Portugal, the United States and Qatar also among the candidates. Here in the lowlands they have us believing the Holland/Belgium bid has a good chance at getting the WC and it isn't even mentioned in the BBC article. Personally all I care about is that it's held in a country that is more or less in the same timezone as I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 If Qatar get it then it will be one hell of a show. They have more money than sense, the only problem is that they would be the worst football nation to ever host a World Cup and would probably get annihalated in each game. Having said that it'd be quality entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) http://news.bbc.co.u...all/9128458.stm sounds like the Russian guy was just talking about a night on the town! Edited October 26, 2010 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
