I'm sure I read somewhere that the council have pledged something like £19 million if we get the World Cup because they say it would bring in around £90 million in revenue for the city.
Not sure if that would go towards upgrading the stadium, or just generally making more improvements to the city/public transport etc.

That money was to provide world cup 'villages' on Viccy Park and elsewhere, plus cash for transport etc.
Only one set of suckers who will pay for the stadium upgrade

I get cheap tickets! Get all your mates onto the clubs mailing list, then take advantage of the £10/£12 birthday match tickets every week....Sorted.
Full prices are for mugs. :icon_razz

Because your prediction includes two Manchester stadia and a possible three in London. This will not happen if the FA don't want to balls their bid up before it gets off the ground.

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that England are going to be allowed to flout the rule about no more than 1 stadium per city and no more than 2 in the capital. Not sure exactly why though!

Might as well have them all in London then :icon_roll I wonder if Brentford's ground would be any good.

This says London have put in for four and several other cities have put in for 2 and that more than one city can have 2 stadiums.

I know someone who got his 3 year old a free season ticket, next to his Dad. Then he just upgrades the kids season ticker on matchdays costing just £7 a match. Overal he saves a lot more than buying a season ticket.

Ah, this will never happen. Imagine the gridlock of having all the fans for all those countries dumped in one city.

Are you suggesting there'll never be a World Cup in Singapore?

Aren't local councils a big part of the bidding team? Imagine what would happen to any council that favoured Wednesday over United or Liverpool over Everton? Alienating half your voters isn't how politics works! I daresay where this is happening the decision of which half a city gets the nod is being passed higher along with the buck.
Still, Liverpool and Sheffield really ought to be in the Cup.
