Eurovision shortlist hosts

[Epping]

Birmingham
Glasgow
Leeds

Liverpool
Manchester
Newcastle
Sheffield .

No london

 

[EchoMan]

No Darlington

 

[SMD]

No Darlington

Aye

Probably due to a lack of hotel capacity.

 

[EchoMan]

It’ll be Liverpool

 

[Wilfy]

Got to give the venue up for 6 weeks leading up to it iirc. Going to be some gigs cancelled.

 

[Adamfsafc]

It'll be Gateshead and claimed by Newcastle.

 

[Brezh]

I don't think it'll be Newcastle, it is joint bottom on capacity. Besides, the Arena has uncomfortable packed seating and other venues are probably more experienced at hosting TV and video recording companies.

[Epping]

It will be the NEC I reckon.. easiest option all round


Or maybe the MEN.. considering BBC will be the broadcast hosts Manchester makes it easier for them

 

[The Great MES]

I remember when it was at Harrogate

Aye. The airport proximity means it's by far the best solution.

Annoys me Newcastle would even try for this - it's an utter waste of time and money for something they have zero chance of hosting due to many reasons

 

[Drexl]

Bookies have Birmingham and Glasgow as favourites. Would rather Glasgow get it with Birmingham just holding an international event.

Unfortunately Newcastle arena just isn’t up to scratch.

Hosted by a newscaster in a ball gown, very formal occasion with people in bow-ties. How times have changed, even the news anchors (to use today's expression) are not as formal. Graham Norton the host?

 

[Metro Man]

Songwashing

Graham Norton will probably just be commentating again. It will probably be someone like Holly Willoughby or Dermot O'Leary imo.

 

[MunkyHeed]

Should be London. Rest of the country is shite.

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

Glasgow by far the best place to host it.

 

[Epping]

Should be London. Rest of the country is shite.

O2 would have been ideal with its 20k capacity .

 

[Xtal99]

The arena is utter shite it should be nowhere near this. Maybe if the new one was built

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Anton Deck.

Where in Newcastle?
The Arena is in a terrible state.
