the only grounds that are any good in yorkshire are OLD, so unless they did them up a bit, yorkshire can f*** OFF
(i'd actually like hillsborough to be done up a bit, and replace STAMFORD BRIDGE, cos i really hate that ground)

Currently 30,000 would go up to 36,500 with a new main stand.

Goodison is starting to look a bit tatty on the edges these days but Everton want to move as well and theres no way they'd go under 40,000 in the new one.
St Marys can Definately be expanded. As can Charkton but I don't think they'll need to anytime soon.
Hillsborough is a bit run down these but Sheffield United are constanly rejigging Brammall Lane so maybe that could be used. When they finish what they are working on now the capacity will be 36000 and that still leaves the mainstand as quite old so that will probably be coming down soon.

Damn right. Yorkshire can take a running jump.
How about giving a county without professional football a chance to see some international football. Now which were those again?

i quite like goodison park, and i think it'd be nice for englands world cup to contain a "classic" english looking ground, instead of all brand spanking new ones

i don't know, its never really been asked before
(it was league football rather than pro football, cos then west sussex would be included because of crawley)

Arse!
At this state of play it looks as though we would be unable to host a decent world cup. Some great stadiums, but not enough of high quality arena's.

wembley is going to be the best stadium on EARTH, the emirates is WICKARD, old trafford is MASSIVE and has loads of HISTORY, the new anfield looks well PLUSH, st. james' park is MAHOOSIVE
we have loads of MENTAL stadiums, and we f***ing INVENTED SOCCERBALL, and therfore our world cup would be the BEST

As far as I am concerned the only stadium worth it's salt is the Glowing Lozenge in Germany or the Birds nest in Tokyo.
Wembley = overpriced tripe. Also, I thought Anfield was meant to be slightly tatty nowadays, the Emirates being souless, same with the Manchester stadium...

I think there's definately a place for older Stadiums in any WC bid but it would need to be ones that kept up with the times such as Old Trafford, Anfield and my favourite ground, Villa Park.
Places like Hillsborough and Elland Road have suffered massively from the teams on-pitch position and the accompanying lack of investment.
