England did an otherworldly job with hosting Euro 2020 games. There was no violence or xenophobia towards foreign fans, no attacks, no near-death experiences; security was adequate; hosts were extremely welcoming and graceful in defeat even as England lost the final. UEFA's President can be sure that with this bid we will see more of the same in 2028. And do not doubt for a second that Ireland, NI, Wales and Scotland will host a lot of games thanks to the "collaborative" nature of the bid. There is no way a magnanimous co-host like England would want to keep most of the action for itself and leave just scraps for everybody else.

[@bossmaestro3838]

So what's your desired ratio? You angry, bitter little cunt! 3 stadiums for Scotland, 3 for Ireland, 2 for Wales, 1 each for N.Ireland and England?

[@gordon1545]

No idea where you got 183,000 for Hampden. The record attendance is 149,547 in 1947 for a Scotland v England match.

[@endagriffin2530]

183,388 was the capacity but the SFA were only allowed to sell 150000 tickets.

[@gordon1545]

@@endagriffin2530 That's sort-of true, but that figure presumed standing being allowed on the walkways, which would never have been permitted (even in those days). As you say, the highest number of tickets they were ever allowed to sell was 150,000. I grew up a 5 minute walk from Hampden, and when I was a kid the capacity was 74,000 (pre-Hillsborough). The ground was barely smaller then than in the heyday of the 1930s-1960s, so I can't imagine how cramped it must have been with so many people in it.

[@endagriffin2530]

That makes you a hell of a lot more qualified than me so 🤣 That was it though back before Hillsborough..squeeze them in anywhere and everywhere. Was never lucky enough to see it in person, just on TV but them walls of terracing were a behemoth. They'd intimidate you even when empty. One thing I will say though, I do understand the need for all seaters from a safety point of view, but there was a certain atmosphere from a terrace that you can't get in an all seated stand and that's been lost forever.

[@Pcr06]

Croke park is a monster, wonder what the capacity would be if the smaller end was the same as the rest.

[@LeMerch]

I'd say 100,000 or more

[@dazzer273]

Hill 16 holds 13,000 so minus this from 82,500 = 69,500 plus the capacity of the Davin Stand (27,000) = 96,500. However this would only be possible if the railway line was built to run through an underground tunnel but even at that there is still not enough space or land to mirror the Davin Stand so the capacity would be less than 96,500. Nonetheless our Páirc an Crocaigh is a special place ☺️

[@jasonwall5012]

They would be albe to complete a full construction of croker like the rest, they'd incorporate the train tracks behind hill 16, just like the aviva stadium. It would be over 100k... but thats a pipe dream, hill 16 is left like that on purpose. I find it very hard for the GAA to build up hill 16

Old Trafford needs major upgrades before it hosts any European Championship matches. It's probably the stadium in the worst condition in the Premier League.

[@mikethomas2400]

I hear the media having a go at OT... but they forget that when it comes to viewing lines Old Trafford is the best stadium anywhere. The stands are close to the pitch and steep on 3 sides. The shallow bottom tiers at Arsenal, the Council House and West Ham give dreadful views. The roof at OT is a disgrace and needs sorting and it would be great to build up the South Stand. Worst condition in the Premier League? Sellhurst Park? Elland Road? Fulham? What a mess Wolves have + all the boring boxes at Southampton and Leicester..... Yeah OT is in the worst condition!

You can put in bolt in seats and remove them after and reinstall crush barriers. Happens in the Bundesliga when they have European games.

[@gordon1545]

You can, but it hugely reduces capacity - eg Dortmund will be reduced from 81k to 66k for Euro 2024. If they did that at the planned Casement Park it would probably pull capacity below the minimum 30k threshold. In any case, unless the UK government step in and promise to underwrite it, I don't think it's going to be built.

@@gordon1545 It's only one goal end that is going to be terraced, the rest is seated so I think it would still be 30k+ even if you had bolt in seating.

I would recommend games at The Principality (Millennium) Stadium in Cardiff for anyone thinking far in advance where they might want to go - it's widely considered the best atmosphere of any rugby stadium in the world due to both the roof (acoustics); excessive pyrotechnics, and being in the city centre - feels like the whole of South Wales has turned up for matchday drinking! 7 minute walk from Cardiff Central train station too! Cardiff Airport isn't super close, but the transport links are good. Certainly Cardiff is the only place I'd go to for a matchday just to soak up the atmosphere in the city (unless Ireland was playing at Croke or Scotland in Glasgow - doesn't matter who's playing in Cardiff, though on a Wales day it will beat em all!) (I hope we get an Ireland Wales game at Croke or Principality!)

[@aes1373]

@JimBob the problem isn't the running track pal. I don't mind it at all. In fact I'd rather they keep it like that rather than what they're doing now. As the video said, they bring the lower tiers on three stands forward to be closer to the pitch. The issue I'm talking about is that when those lower tiers get pushed forward, for those three stands between the upper and lower tiers there's so much free space. The two tiers aren't continuous like anywhere normal stadium, or how it would be if they kept the track. It looks like crap and kills the atmosphere. Only the east stand has the correct shape since its continuous from upper to lower tier.

[@aes1373]

@JimBob I'm not a West Ham fan, but that empty space you mentioned isn't strong to hold enough ppl on it. Also let's say it could hold ppl, it's a flat surface. Ppl have to jump over each other to see what's going on on the pitch. There's a reason stadium tiers are angled bro. Also the Frankfurt fans are there for one match.

went to croke park for Ireland v Wales match away fans were in the open end, if that end was to be extended & covered it would increase capacity and make it better

[@shanew5012]

That stand is called the Hill 16, its a very historic stand in Ireland. I doubt they'd ever consider putting a roof over it as it would cause uproar

[@Galwaybhoy]

There's a train track right behind Hill 16. You can often see trains pass by on match days. It would require major work to make any changes to that area. Also Hill 16 is the most famous part of the ground. Any plans to turn it into a covered seating area would cause uproar

[@CGormanR35]

No thanks. The Hill is perfect how it is now.

[@Kenny-zn6dl]

Croke park is an irish success story and home to amateur sports thats unique to Ireland, adjusting the stadium to suit outsiders is a non runner, hill 16 is was and always will be historic for many reasons unknown to most people outside the country, it's a much bigger field in length and width to suit gaelic sports, the hill was built from the rubble of 1916 when the brits blew up o connell Street, visit the museum and you'll see that it's not just a sports ground, it has many historical values.

[@yermanoffthetelly]

@@Kenny-zn6dl The 1916 rubble thing is a myth, It was originally called hill 60 to honour members of the Connaught Rangers who died in a battle in Gallipoli. It didn't become Hill 16 until the 30s. It was completely demolished and rebuilt in 1988 and again in 2005.

St James Park Newcastle is a bit unfortunate when it comes to looking at expansion. The sides where you see the impressive cantilever roof are where it's unrestricted but the other two sides have barely any room for expansion unless you were somehow able to move the pitch and therefore the whole ground in a particular direction and in doing so creating the additional space required for redevelopment.

[@OneEpicEric]

I would love to see a whole new stadium for Newcastle Utd.

[@leonpaul9443]

They cant develop the east stand due to the terraced street behind it which are listed buildings and the cant develop the gallowgate end as under neath is a underground station. Thats why the stadium is so lopsided. They have tried building a new stadium from scratch but environmentalists always stop them.

[@allezlsls4615]

The capacities are much higher in this video than in the reality I think. In General Way, I think capacitie of stadiums in England are say much to high as the reality. For Exemple Anfield Road I think Never never more as 40'000 in the reality. And the peopole says 70'000.
