CL Final Venue | Stade de France named as new venue

[Fordyboy46]

Brussels would be a great choice

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Old Trafford would do nicely.

 

[york away to this!]

Don't think my Baltic cruise in May will be calling in there if things don't get sorted out pronto.

Could be a lovely firework display to watch though. Glass always half full...

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

They surely couldn’t leave it In St Petersburg...

Looks like some people early in the thread owe you an apology or two... :)

Old Trafford would be a the perfect venue.

Imagine winning it there against the Scousers. ;-)

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

How come the Etihad isn’t on there, it hosted a Uefa cup final back in 2008?

It's all a bit cryptic. Officialy it doesn't take much to be a Cat 4 ground, in order to allow for qualifiers and some of the smaller Uefa tournament games, but they've indicated that they want stadiums to be 70k+ for CL finals. Old Trafford is a shit hole, but given how many it sits it will always win out for hosting in the north west over us and Anfield.

I always thought other things to consider is size of changing rooms, media centre and hospitality as well.

 

[fitzy blue]

That would be a Bold move

Should'nt Deter gents going though.

There's a whole list of cat 4 things you need to have that include those things and other things like space for refs, floodlight quality, cameras. But I think every premier league and championship ground would easily meet the criteria so that they could technically host it, but actually getting the nod is different entirely*!

* how much money you can punt to officials.

 

[Gray]

Change it for the Canaries then.
That's where I'm going

Good luck in the Bay of Biscay.
