Vila Park
Bristol
Anfield
Wembley
Emirates (if allowed)
OT
St.James
SOL
COM (if allowed)
Either Sheffield
Nottingham
Derby

MK can fuck off. They can't afford to finish it. It'd be embarrassing.

Also @ Salford

Its in the running at the moment.

Yeah sorry missed Olympic Stadium off the list. I think London will just have the two with Emirates and Wembley though.

My 12 would be...

Wembley
Emirates
Villa Park
Anfield
Old Trafford
St James'
City of Manchester
Stadium of Light
Elland Road
One of Sheffield
Forest
Bristol

I havent bothered looking at the spread of those around the UK but its probably about right.

If they keep it as is, then only one city can have 2 stadiums... therefore, London: Wembley & the Emirates

For me:

Wembley
Emirates
Old Trafford
Anfield/New Anfield
Elland Road
St. James Park
Villa Park
Stadium of Light

After that, whatvere. Also, can Portman Road and St. Marys not be in the running? They bvig enough? Just thinking of places England went during Wembley re-development

TBH I really dont think you can not have the two Manchester stadiums in there.

If you dont then some shitty stadium is going to get in over COM and thats a great ground.

I dont think either club have the money to put towards getting the fifa compliant and large enough to house games.

FIFA rules though... unless they change it then that's how it is

Although as we have stated, Old Trafford is in Salford and COM is in Manchester so that is fine

Surely there is no way if it came to the crunch they would pick the City of Manchester Stadium over Old Trafford?

Over?

OT holds a lot more people and will no doubt be one of the semi final stadiums.
