Eurovision shortlist hosts

[Shandy drinker]

Has to be Newcastle. The NE has been beaten each and every time to everything by cities in the NW (mainly Manchester and Liverpool), the Black Country like Coventry and Birmingham and the SE - especially London.

It’s time other places got some big event.

Please no

 

[Edinburgh Black Cat]

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.

Cant see it being Glasgow.

 

[matt228]

I think it'll be Glasgow.

 

[MunkyHeed]

.......and there we have the geographic, economic, political, social and cultural state of our nation, neatly summarised.

Got one. Just a tiddler tho.

 

[CEF]

It’ll be Liverpool

They'll be booing the British entry

 

[alanturing]

Newcastle & Gateshead can’t even be bothered to paint the Tyne Bridge.

 

[Darlo1973]

Manchester would be the easy option with the BBC's presence there (well, Salford actually) but I suspect that it will be either Glasgow or Birmingham. Both have the airport connectivity, lots of hotels and the recent experience of big events. Hope it's Glasgow just to see Nicola Sturgeon there supporting the UK entry,

Liverpool will drone on about the Beatles and then blame everyone else when they lose out. Other cities have no chance.

Unlike SCC who maintains all of our bridges and pays for it themselves NCL/GHD want the government to subsidise it.

Coventry and Birmingham are not in the Black Country.

Anton Deck.

Is that a sex tape or baseball commentary?.

Bristol's bid was rightly ignored, venue hasn't been built.

Pompey anarl. PO Club function room not quite big enough. Would have done an interval meat raffle for them anarl, all profits to the winning act.

Between Birmingham and Glasgow for me.
Should be Edinburgh just so it can mimic the fillum.

 

[Dogbark]

The cynic in me says London.

 

[matt228]

The cynic in me says London.

Even though it isn't on the shortlist?

 

[rokerexile]

Who gives a fuck!!!?

 

[Dogbark]

Even though it isn't on the shortlist?

Aye.

 

[Epping]

The cynic in me says London.

The 02 with its capacity would be great but it's not happening

 

[Darlo1973]

Both the Hydro in Glasgow and NEC in Brum can hold about 15,000 people.

 

[Brett]

Anyone but Newcastle please

The Tyne bridge was built with government cash too
