SOL dropped from Euro 2028 bid?

[Harbour Boy]

Awful in what way?

East stand is dilapidated and the concourse is awful.

Gallowgate concourse is decent.

Main stand, lower is poor, very tight and awful facilities. Platinum club needs updating, boxes are good.

Level 7, concourse good, view god awful.

Leazes Stand - Shite concourse, especially lower tier.

Weighing it up, the Stadium of Light, as a stadium if far superior, it's not even close at the moment.

Will cut out the need for any middle men! One of the host cities is in guadalajara which I'm sure is where there was that ridiculous violence where they were stripping people naked and pounding lifeless bodies. Sure that was all cartel members. Don't think you'd be getting too many cocky england fans there!

Europe's hardest fear nobody.

Surprised old Trafford isn’t on it.

I know it’s getting dated but is 75,000 and an iconic stadium

I suspect Utd are planning a major redevelopment of the place and they aren’t confident it will be ready

Add to this, the view from the top of the Gallowgate is shite.

Very disappointing to see the SOL hasn't been chosen considering it's a near 50k stadium with some of the best facilities around. It has put me off the Euros 2028 tbh.


Villa Park was chosen and only holds 42k and it's a dated stadium. Also that lopsided mess is also dated and there's a good reason concerts are chosen to be held at the SOL instead.

It’s getting a major refurb mate. I think capacity is being increase to well over 50k

Is it disappointing the SoL isnt on the main list to host games? Yes

Doesn't mean we should want the bid to host Euros to fail

 

[RossStewartEnthuiast]

Cant believe the bone saw arena has been chosen over the illustrious SoL!!!. By 2028 surely we’d be nearly the top of the PL

 

[The Freshest Kid]

Hopefully we get the tournament and I’ll be trying to get tickets for each match played up here.

I agree. I’ll still try to get to some of the games.

Are all 4 host nations getting automatic qualification?

 

[only one rade prica]

Are all 4 host nations getting automatic qualification?

It'll go to Turkey

 

[bomber]

Are all 4 host nations getting automatic qualification?

Aye,and all firms to be represented.What could possibly gan wrang.

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Is this all about the Men's Euros? Surely we're all about the women.

 

[timeforheroes1]

Shame but without a credible redevelopment plan it was never getting on there. Place is a dump and facilities are dated

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

Are all 4 host nations getting automatic qualification?

There's 5 host nations mate. I dont think it's been confirmed but have read previously that uefa reluctant to allow more than 2 home nations to qualify automatically. Probably another thing in turkey's favour.

Hopefully the bid fails

When you say the SOL has some of the best facilities around? We're not in the best 10 UK stadiums now, so no surprise we haven't been shortlisted.

Tbf the SOL isn’t a dump, but I agree we needed to be proactive and confirm a modernisation plan.

Sad thing is, I can’t see us doing anything with the SOL for the foreseeable future.

 

[James]

Shame like but not surprising.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Not entirely surprised, although it’s odd they’ve chosen Etihad over Old Trafford in Manchester.

And Everton over Anfield.
