MW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Random thought just popped into my head. Attendences dont reflect the true amount of people in the stadium. Couple hundred more working. Interesting, I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have said this on another forum in regards to the bidding for Euro 2020 and Turkeys bid. UEFA are in a difficult position. FIFA a year or so ago were slated for being corrupt for giving the world cups to the two nations out of all the bids who should never have got them are renowned for being being corrupt/elitist nations. If UEFA then give the Euro's to a nation thats riddled with corruption within football then it's going to open up a whole can of worms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Quite enjoy being sponsored by virgin money. No chance of the name being tarnished really. There are some really crappy sponsors in the league. Tombola I don't believe things like Alcohol and betting organisations should be allowed to advertise, especially on Premiership club shirts. Fair enough kids shirts can't have those sponsors on but it doesn't really help when it's on pictures of their favourite players, on TV all the time etc. i'm not arsed about alcohol being advertised on shirts, as most of our iconic shirts had the blue star/brown ale logo but i do hate to see gambling websites on shirts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they were the only bid (not counting Georgia) and the UEFA refuse to give it to them, isn't that a bit... shady as well? Not that I've paid any attention to this bidding process, mind.

That's just wrong imo, the only people that service is "designed" for, is the desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Found out today that Newcastle United played a part in the invention of the windscreen wiper. Fancy that. Explain From Wiki: Captain Gladstone Adams (16 May 1880–1966) was, at one time, the Chairman of Whitley Bay Urban District Council. In April 1908, he drove down to Crystal Palace Park in a 1904 Daracq-Caron motorcar to see Newcastle United play against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup final. It was such a novelty to see a car in those days that it was put into a car showroom window while he was there, because so many people wanted to see it. On the way back from the cup final, snow kept getting on the windscreen and Gladstone had to keep getting out of the car to clear it. This experience led to his invention of the windscreen wiper. In April 1911, Gladstone patented the design of a windscreen wiper with Sloan & Lloyd Barnes, patent agents of Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesPaul Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Moving this from the St. James' Park thread as it has no business in there: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18069127 Would all three have enough stadiums? Scotland: Celtic Park Ibrox Hamden Murray Field Wales: Millennium Stadium Ireland: The Aviva Croke Park (assuming they'd be allowed use it). Assuming all those stadiums qualify they're still 3 short. Any other stadiums big enough. Of the top of my head the next biggest stadium in Ireland would be Semple Stadium (would need temporary seats in place of terraces and permission from the GAA to use it but even at that I doubt it passes UEFA regulations) http://www.ruckingball.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/stadium1.jpg holds 50,000 -55,000 but that's with terraces. Thoman Park in Limerick is still smaller iirc thought of another, the gaelic grounds in limerick and if the gaa ever got around to fixing up pairc ui chaoimh either could serve as a smaller venue, both hold around the 40k mark iirc (even if the pairc is falling apart) not all stadia need to be huge a number around 30k and 40k are acceptable to Uefa. above all else the main problem is a 3 way bid won't be looked on favourably by the suits Pairc ui chaoimh is a shit hole. Needs major re-development before any body should even look at the thing Gaelic Grounds are a nightmare for parking and stuff. As far as I know that's a UEFA regulation isn't it?
