Scotland, Wales and ROI Euro 2020

If it's expanded to a 24 team tournament, it's no more 'host-heavy' than it is now.

 

I'm not sure how that would help?

 

This is probably true, but ROI, Scotland, and Wales are probably better than some of the extra 8 teams that would qualify for this tournament over previous tournaments

 

Correct.

It's the exact same. One out of eight.

 

It's as helpful as your suggestion.

 

Probably Croke Park and The Aviva on the RoI end.

 

And how did they encourage it?

You would effectively be rewarding Wales with a spot for having the Millenium stadium.

 

****ing class Bib

 

Terrible stadium for football.

 

It's got to be used for some football events. It's not as if it gets used a lot at the moment, and when Wales play, it's not exactly full

 

'But it appears that European football's governing body itself encouraged the joint bid from the Celtic nations, while Georgia have also now declared'

Cardiff Citys ground currently holds 27k and with 8 years I'm sure it could be upgraded. Swanseas is over 20k and could also, if needed increase it.

 

Nobody pulled me up on it.

I was very very very pished that day.

I thought it might have occured to someone that the Ulster quarters wouldn't be in Tipp

 

Cardiff and Swansea will upgrade, if they have a future in the PL which Swansea do atm, not sure about Cardiff getting there though

 

Cause no one gives a ****

 

Do they still play in it?

I thought they were using Swansea or Cardiffs stadium.

 

Think they use it if a big team comes to town.

Sure they used it against England.

 

Occasionally I think. But they do use those stadia. What's the point in having a nice shiny national stadium if you're not going to use it?!

 

Cost.

 

Not its fault, take it up with the nearby residents

 

Plus you basically described half the GAA grounds. Could have been any one of them like Casement Park or Omagh for instance.
