Title: milton keynes??? Post by: gatso on December 16, 2009, 04:28:16 PM 2018 world cup bid grounds
Birmingham – Villa Park Bristol – New Ashton Vale Stadium Leeds – Elland Road Liverpool – Anfield or New Anfield London – Wembley London – Emirates Stadium London – New White Hart Lane or Olympic Stadium Manchester – City of Manchester Stadium Manchester – Old Trafford Milton Keynes – Stadium MK Newcastle – St James' Park Nottingham – New stadium Plymouth – Home Park Sheffield – Hillsborough Sunderland – Stadium of Light Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: TightEnd on December 16, 2009, 04:31:51 PM MK and Plymouth, on the basis that MK is going to be a massive city come 2018 and Plymouth is a huge area otherwise not represented
Find both a bit odd as we sit here today, but can see the long term thinking Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: kinboshi on December 16, 2009, 04:35:24 PM MK makes sense geographically.
Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: gatso on December 16, 2009, 04:38:22 PM mk really not going to help when the committee decide where to host. somewhere like derby with a football heritage makes more sense to me

Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: gatso on December 16, 2009, 04:40:49 PM MK makes sense geographically. only for the english surely. is it that easy to get to for foreign visitors? I have no idea what airports are nearby Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: TheChipPrince on December 16, 2009, 04:42:59 PM It won't make the final cut anyway... surely!

I have no idea what airports are nearby LOL. Luton 30 mins away, London 1 hr away, Stanstead 1 hr, Birmingham 75 mins Great location, and a very fast growing area, and (although the franchsie is meh) a wonderful ground with room to expand Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: TightEnd on December 16, 2009, 04:46:05 PM mk really not going to help when the committee decide where to host. somewhere like derby with a football heritage makes more sense to me Derby and Leicester lost out to Birmingham/Nottingham. Which I actually agree with. Plymouth/MK are correct choices geographically otherwise you'd not be able to regionalise it sufficiently Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: TheChipPrince on December 16, 2009, 04:46:55 PM Shame the FA's couldn't have got the Millenium stadium in somehow...
Title: Re: milton keynes??? Post by: Ironside on December 16, 2009, 04:48:21 PM plymouth bristol and MK will all miss out along with either newcastle or sunderland and atleast one more as its a max of 10 stadium used

Post by: AndrewT on December 16, 2009, 05:02:33 PM South Africa are hosting it with only ten grounds so we'd use 12 max, so I can see MK and Plymouth not making the cut anyway.
Title: Re: milton keynes???

Post by: AndrewT on December 16, 2009, 05:04:49 PM Also 'current FIFA practice' may not be current once bid time comes round.

Im sure the Dundee Fans would never stand for getting pushed to the side like this anyway? Title: Re: milton keynes???

Title: Re: milton keynes???

Norwich's local derby is with Ipswich and it is Norfolk vs Suffolk thing. There is plenty of bitterness trust me Title: Re: milton keynes???

I have no idea what airports are nearby LOL. Luton 30 mins away, London 1 hr away, Stanstead 1 hr, Birmingham 75 mins Great location, and a very fast growing area, and (although the franchsie is meh) a wonderful ground with room to expand This. Add good rail links, good road links and if the ground ever gets finished it'll be pretty shit hot. Title: Re: milton keynes???
