alex3659 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 No World cup games will be played in Sheffield for a long while, the massive and brillaint grounds are too close to us. corky you seem to be a bit green tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Don't forget about Old Trafford Anfield Villa Park The Emirates Eastlands Stadium of Light St James Park Pride Park St Marys Wembley You have some work to do before you overtake these grounds just on the facilities basis. If we do have the world cup, they won't hold group matches in two different stadiums in the same region. So Eastlands and Old Trafford wont both host matches, likewise St James park and the Stadium of light. It may even be a big selling point to play part of the world cup in the city that competitive football started in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking if it was to come to these parts that Uefa may involve Wales and Scotland, what with Swansea already having a nice stadium and Cardiff about to move, either of the Glasgow giants could host a world cup game stood on there head they have champions league football every year just about guarenteed.

AltyOwl Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 we are putting the work in corky. put it this way if any world cup games were to be played in sheffield ,where do you think it would be. Neither ground would get it currently. Facilities wise Bramall lane is better, but our South Stand is better than yours, as is our Kop currently better. Hate that cladding you've nailed onto your stands, looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i don't really think Bramall Lanes that nice it still has a lot of rough edges the kop side looks terrible and has for years and both of your side stands arnt exactley massive, its just a run of the mill ground, i doubt theres many away fans who can say there favorite ground is the Lane anyway, im sure theres quite a few who would say Hillsborough.

Unless I'm mistaken Wales just pulled out of a potential bid for the Euros with Scotland, so they may not be interested; even if the FA included them in the bid.
