The Football Association was the only bidder but had to meet strict guidelines before being awarded it by European football's governing body.

Gets excited...


Realises it says 2021, not 2020.


Closes thread.

That's cool. As we're the largest stadium being used (apart from Wembley, obv) there must be a good chance that we'll get at least one England game.

I went to the previous women's international at the Amex and it was a really good turnout, despite it chucking down that day.

 

[Mellotron]

****s sake. Why do that?

It was a good turn out despite the Albion not plugging it properly, and many considering not returning due to the club not having the usual matchday facilities open.

I do know of several people who have been to the Amex on that day only, and were genuinely disappointed with how poor the set up was. Not a good advertisement for the club.

We've done alright hosting international matches, whether it's the rugby world cup or U21s in football. Just have to hope they don't run out of pies. And that the trains run on time etc etc.

How much cash does the club get?

 

[Official Old Man]

For this tournament will it be called The Amex?

It`s the only way to get people interested !

 

[The Large One]

Probably not.

Highly doubtful. Depends on who plays, and how Brexit shafts freedom of movement, but I'd be very confident of 20,000+ crowds at Falmer, with a probable sell-out if it's England.

Bramall Lane is bigger than the Amex

 

[Gwylan]

Bramall Lane is bigger than the Amex

Yes it is. And probably the City Ground (note to self, read more thoroughly next time)

 

[fataddick]

Given that there are eight venues (Wembley only hosting the final) and four groups, presumably there will be two host venues for each group, ie three group games each.

Given geography, you'd expect the groups to be:
1. Brighton and Southampton.
2. Milton Keynes and Brentford.
3. Forest and Rotherham/Man City TG
4. Sheff Utd and Rotherham/Man City TG

In such an instance the Amex and St Mary's will have easily the biggest combined/average capacity, thus will host England's group.

(Of course they could combine SheffU and Forest, which would be a similar capacity to Brighton/Saints, but that would mean Rotherham and ManCity hosting a group with a combined capacity of less than 20k, which is surely unlikely.)

Thus I predict the Amex will host at least one England group game.

 

[fataddick]

Yes it is. And probably the City Ground (note to self, read more thoroughly next time)

City Ground is smaller (by a couple of hundred) than the Amex, as is Stadium MK. Bramall Lane and St Mary's are both about 2k larger. But see above for why I'm confident Brighton will host at least one England game.

Gets me every time, including the BHAFC 'news announcements' which I feverishly click on, only to find it's WSL - which I have zero interest in...
