oi! you know if england hosted something like the WORLD CUP

[turienzo's lovechild]

infact, drop stamford bridge, and i'll have goodison park instead

atleast then we've got maximum 2 per city

 

[ali jenkins]

the reebox holds under 30,000, st mary's and pride park do both hold over 30,000 though

Well id add Villa Park in then instead of Reebok.

pour qoui mr. commander?

MASSIVE, innit.

Elland Road is surely not good enough to use for a major tournament.

its big enough, but i agree it is looking a bit RUN DOWN

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

all this had made me realise how much of a STUPID idea it would be for a joint bid of scotland/wales/ireland to host it


they have a few stadiums that are good enough, but they're all in about THREE cities!

Hillsborough holds over 40,000.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Hillsborough holds over 40,000.

39,814

 

[Uncle Buck]

39,814

Is that what it is down to?

I would think they could get away with that, by claiming it is over 40,000 but due to advertising and segregation it can only hold 39,000

1- Wembley Stadium (England) - 90,000
2- Old Trafford (Man U) - 76,000
3- New Anfield (Liverpool) - 61,000
4- Emirates Stadiums (Arsenal) - 60,432
5- St James' Park (Newcastle) - 52,327
6- Villa Park (Aston Villa) - 42,573
7- Elland Road - (Leeds United) - 40,204
8- Hillsborough (Sheffield Wednesday) - 39,814
9- St Mary's Stadium (Southampton) - 32,689
10- Ricoh Arena (Coventry City) - 32,000

it would be a shame not to use the likes of Eastlands and Stadium of Light but there too close to other big stadiums.

well you have TWO in the same city samuel there, and sunderland and newcastle aren't THAT close

 

[ali jenkins]

well you have TWO in the same city samuel there, and sunderland and newcastle aren't THAT close

but its still a DERBY game though!

 

[Zesh Rehman]

well you have TWO in the same city samuel there, and sunderland and newcastle aren't THAT close

which 2 ?

 

[Redhead]

which 2 ?

Wembley and Emarites

 

[Beach Hut]

I would also use Twickenham.

Both Stade De France and Parc De Prince were used in '98.

The later hosted the excellent Iran v USA game I believe

Wembley and Emarites
