Probably depends how FIFA define "cities" - if you go by unitary authority then both OT and CoM could be used, although if you took the wider view you'd struggle to argue that they aren't both in what is widely perceived as Manchester.

You are only allowed one city to have two host venues. London will probably have Wembley and The Emirates which would probably rule out the City of Manchester Stadium.

That said, it'd be interesting if Everton do end up moving to Kirkby.


But then you could just replace the COM with Villa Park without too much problem, and there a few other 40k+ grounds anyway

There are plenty of them no question.

Master Bates has sounded out a few upgrades of Elland Road which, by coincidence I'm sure, will be completed before 2018 :wink:

new zealand could share the world cup with us :wink:






winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

There are plenty of new ones on the horizon on as well.

Birmingham hope to have a new, impressive looking, 50,000 all-seater gaff by that time

Not at present. Don't FIFA impose a minimum 40,000 criteria for the stadiums as well as the one stadium, one city rule?

At the moment we have stadiums that fit the bill in

London
Manchester
Birmingham
Liverpool
Leeds
Newcastle
Sunderland

That's seven with five cities/towns needing upgraded stadiums.

Possibly Sheffield, Derby, Middlesbrough, Leicester and Southampton??

A co-confederation World Cup? Not a chance.

Not certain, but I think Hillsborough just gets 40k in. As mentioned before, you can have 2 stadiums in 1 city, so that's another one in as well, probably the Emirates.

Just googled it, Hillsborough holds 39,812. Don't think it would take too much work to get the extra 188 seats in!
