So, with this being confirmed as UK and Ireland what are the chances we might get some funding to redevelop Hampden?

You’d hope there’d be some money made available. The utter idiocy from the cheek fans though (yes, I know) that neither of their stadiums are included as apparently they’re better is bewildering. Do they not go to games? Hampden, despite being shite, is better than those two.

Is it? Not convinced like. Apparently there is to be some minor improvements, but nothing exciting. I expect that they'll be putting up signs for Rangers and Celtic home ends, and painting them in their respective colours.

By the time they have bailed out Everton, wasted several million on consultants who I thoroughly expect to then say redevloping Casement Park is not worth it so just move the Belfast games to London, given a large wedge to G4S to errect 1mile radius herras fences encircling all the grounds, and given Club wembly several licks of paint, there should be just enough left over to replace a couple of locks and/or doors missing from the other stadium toilets.

Both stadiums are shite. Utterly, shite. Fuck helping the huns maintain theirs.

I'm not suggesting that we should, of course, just that the stadiums might be better. Ibrox is far better than Hampden for actually watching football, especially in the ends. The Tim dome also. If we could knock both of those down and sell the land, then we could do up Hampden.

Ibrox in particular is 100 times the stadium Hampden is. Better accessibility, better potential to create an atmosphere and a better view of the game.

I’d still knock the fucker down in a heartbeat tho…

Think Hampden is only getting something like £15m, so wouldn't expect much. We should really be proposing that the draw is open so there's a chance we end up in a group that doesn't have Hampden in it.

 

From an Aberdeen point of view, potential to rent our training ground out to someone for the tournament.

Everton - Brand New Stadium seriously fucking them over financially and facing a potential 12 point deduction for their financial affairs
- £500million and rising by the day
Aston Villa - One new stand + upgrade to other 3 (10000 extra seats), new multi use venue/ fanzone, 6500sqm landscaping and new club shop
- £100million + rising by the day
Ulter GAA - Brand new Stadium
- Min £130million + rising by the day
Man City - North stand expansion (7900 extra seats), new hotel, Tv studio and 3000capacity fan zone
- Min £300million + rising by the day
Newcastle - Club just started talking about expanding St James Park again (13000 extra seats - allegedly partly to avoid getting done by FFP rules).
- I Estimate min. £120million to due restricted site

Be surprised if hampden gets £15million once all that has been siphoned off

Took less than a year

Cardiff will host the opening game, and both semis and the final will be held at Firhill. I'm joking, they will be at Wembley. Hampden will host games in the group stages, last-16 and a quarter final.

See, I looked for an auld thread on this topic before starting a new one. I'm settling in well here.

[tom_widdows]

Franlkly a bit surprised they just didnt shift every game to Wembley and be done with it.

Euro 2024

Semi finals: Munich and Dortmund.

Final: Berlin

Euro 2020

Semi Finals AND final: Wembley

Euro 2016

Semi finals: Lyon and Marseille

Final: Paris

Euro 2012

Semi Finals: Warsaw and Donnesk

Final: Kyiv

And so on

At the very least the Millenium stadium should have had one of the Semis but cant risk England not having home advantage
