Maybe they know more about the future than we do? The King Power Newt Disaster of 2025 will be shocking.

I think the small, slimy, creature disaster is in 2022.

Doesn't surprise me too much when you look at the venues for the Women's Euros just gone:

 

A massive gap between the M62 corridor in the North and London/the South, with Stadium MK being the only venue in between.

 

I went to the semi-final there (did feel a bit dirty going in) but it was pretty much a full house, was well set up and showed it could cope with all UEFA's requirements.

I'm sure that event will have been a big leg up for both Southampton and MK & the main reason they are on the initial list over the King Power & other stadiums that would be expected (even if they are subsequently dropped for being too small...).

Franchise FC's ground? Yuck.

There is an odd fascination with it, it was pushed for a previous World Cup bid too.

Must be 5 star rated in someway?

 

Apparently most of ours aren’t despite being very good on the eye etc .

MK has a hotel in it - and they now have a history of hosting fan zones etc very well 

 

It's a fair better set up than it was there. Admittedly the city should be all supporting MK Irish in the United Counties League but that's a different game

Three cities/wider urban areas sharing half of the potential destinations, while areas like the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the West Country have none.

 

Guess I'm not that bothered mind, would no doubt only lead to some hideous stadium redevelopments in those areas anyway.

Shame our expanded stadium won't be part of this. As I think the facilities and standard of stadium will be better than Villa Park. 

 

I don't get why North West get 3x, North East x2. 

 

I get why London has 3x because that's the capital and bound to get a lot of demand. 

 

But no EM representation is crap.

I don't quite get the shortlist - UEFA/FIFA are (Qatar withstanding) like to have one city hosting two stadiums, then the rest is one stadium per city. You have London with 3, Manchester with 2, Dublin 2. 

 

I'd actually argue that if the games played in Manchester, Dublin or Newcastle/Sunderland are within two days of each other - hotels and transport would be a problem for travelling fans. 

 

Also I'll believe when I see it regards Casement Park being ready.

Villa Park will be redeveloped
