      Yet again the FA believe that the World ends at teh M25.

      No place for Leicester or Hull.

        Fairly disappointing, though not surprising, that probably the most hated football club in the country are down for a World Cup match. Still, when were the FA ever in touch with ground roots opinion?

        4 stadiums in the north west are proposed – 4 stadiums in the yorkshire/north east region so why not 4 in the south west ? it is the most densley populated area of the country

        and the fact that the the MK stadium is a blank canvas with a constructed area for 45000 seats is something to do with it

        I’m sure you meant South East and I agree with your post.

        I have to confess that I’m biased, as I live in Milton Keynes. It is a good stadium and, as you say, it’s a blank canvas with an as yet undeveloped upper tier. A big advantage is it’s right by the A5 dual carriageway, is only 10 minutes from the M1 (even on match days) and has a mainline rail station.

        When I can’t get to Wigan for a game, I’ll go and watch other teams and I’ve been to Stadium MK a few times. Couple of weeks ago I went and on the back of four straight defeats they got 9,000 on against Yeovil. Now I live about 4 miles from the ground and I left home at 2.30, drove there, parked up, got in and had a pint before kick off.

        That’s a big part of why they’ve been chosen.

        sorry i did mean south east

        #15434

        No need to say sorry. Wasn’t trying to correct you.
        The one I can’t quite understand is Plymouth. It’s miles from anywhere, but I guess they need something in the far South West, rather than just Bristol.
