DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Councils spent about £2.1m bidding for matches in England's failed attempt to host the World Cup in 2018. Fifa members voted for Russia to host the tournament on Thursday with England gaining just two votes. The national bid cost the Football Association £15m but councils had to help fund bids to the FA if they wanted to host matches in their area. The two highest spending authorities were Sunderland and Bristol at £421,584 and £363,000 respectively. Sad wannabees edit... it gets better... But Chris Alexander, the bid director for Sunderland City Council, said it spent the money as it was "very keen" to bring the World Cup to the city. "With football such a passionate part of city life, being part of the FA Bid has been a great opportunity to showcase Sunderland's many attractions," he added.

Not really correct. There was more to sundlund's bid than just Newcastle. There was also Bamburgh, Durham and err.... Stockton on Tees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 It took a mad man to buy the club for them to be better than us, and even then we beat them 5-1. Says it all really. For the time being im going to try and not bother with them, we've bigger fish to fry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
