Opener at Cardiff and semis and final at Wembley. England should just have it on their own. Yaaawn. It will take a whole lot of media hype to generate interest in this. Maybe England will finally win something on home soil and we can all then (literally) move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many businesses are going to live or die off the back of half a dozen football matches, taking place in five years' time? . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good laugh. The notion of Wales actually qualifying is also a good laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 28 matches in England and 23 matches outside of England is less England-centric than I expected by the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Would prefer Celtic Park or Ibrox to be Scotland's venue, Hampden I'd a bit soulless. However, are they worried about upsetting one Old Firm lot or another, if they picked one of their stadiums? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Villa have cancelled North Stand redevelopment, so capacity will stay at ~42k for foreseeable future. Not sure if this rules us out of Euro 2028 hosting duties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought Villa could have filled the extra seats is the cancellation possibly them thinking about lost revenue in the Champions league ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) There's a 30,000 waiting list apparently. I can understand what they are saying that it wouldn't be great to add another 10,000 people each week when the local transport infrastructure is already woefully inadequate. However, if we are waiting on Birmingham City Council to bother their arses to improve things, we won't expand the ground before the Heat Death of the Universe. Especially now that the city is bankrupt. Judging by the last couple of years they'll probably just assume they can make up the shortfall in lost attendance by charging those of us that do go even more. It's already gone from one of the cheapest season tickets in the top flight to one of the most expensive and I can see them asking for £1,000 before too long. Especially now we are actually doing well, for once! Edited December 19, 2023 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
