Seems there's a good chance we will bid for the 2030 world cup!i reckon it should be a UK bid as opposed to just England.as of 2026 there will be 48 teams in 16 groups of 3,top two qualifying for second round which will be straight knockout.So two groups in Wales and N IRELAND, 4 IN SCOTLAND.8 IN ENGLAND,including one in our super 8 year old stadium!Then 2 second round matches in W AND NI,4 IN SCOTLAND ,8 IN ENGLAND,then 1,1,2,4 ,then 1,1,1,1, and 1 s/f in SCOT/ENG.final in ENG,what you reckon Gaseds?if all host nations get automatic entry(still to be decided for 2026)could even have Rovers players involved!would that be a first?or did the Latvian play in one?

Certainly use the Memorial Tented Village for group matches.

No way would I want us to share with the other home nations. We've got more than enough stadiums even with an expanded tournament. All we'd be doing is helping them gain entry as none of them are likely to qualify - why do them any favours when they all hate us. The thought of Nicola Sturgeon trying to steal the show is winding me up already!!! |

Imagine the clamour from all the top nations to use our state of the art world class training facility.

With the 100 year anniversary of the tournament, surely it should be staged in the country that gave the world the sport?
Engerland.
No where else.

She'll be a big fish in FIFA by then.

Pretty sure Uraguay are going for it and they are already big favourites as they hosted the first one 100 years ago.
If Bristol does get it, which it should due to its location it will go to the Sheet.

In which case the finals will have to be played in winter, and our world class Santa`s grotto can be used. |

I know what you are thinking, this is all a bit far fetched as DC doesn’t do cup runs. |

Defiantly should bid without the other home nations.
Can always offer the Welsh some games in the Mellinium after it’s awarded! Help to get something near the West and it’s a decent stadium.
I also think the relationship between our FA and the new FIFA regime is far better than it was so you never know.
Also wouldn’t 2030 more likely be in Europe after the previous two in other continents?

I once read that we would never get the World cup again. the writer said that England, having invented the game still have some sort of "copyright" and that if the WC is held here then the English FA will be in charge and not FIFA. I am NOT saying this is correct, I read it in a footy mag the last time we applied for it. More interesting is how many of us on here will still be around in 2030 to see it anyway? I suspect if we did miracously win it the sh** Pit would be expanded to 45000

At the end of the day it’s much more fun travelling around the world anyway, rather than a home WC with day trips to Wembley!

You can't beat a home WC, mind.
(Especially after a curry).

Ronaldos free kick on Friday has been bettered by Serbia's stunning strike
