Anti southern...
But for the tiny problem of not having anywhere suitable to host it.

that's just detail
Probably about time brighton had a decent arena.
Got to be Brum, continue that feel good factor from the games!

That is absolutely spot on. The Brighton Centre is well past its prime, but I am not sure there is an obvious location (or financing) to build something bigger.
Yes. All of them with the exception of Sheffield.

Could they build a new indoor arena on Bennett’s Field?
Tony can knock up some hotels for the delegates as well.

A few years ago I was in Sheffield for work over a weekend. There was a big Yates's and a big Wetherspoons within bottle throwing distance of each other, and there's a big fountain / water feature pool thing that if isn't in the middle of them (my memory is hazy) it was, I'm sure, easily visible from them both. Anyway, from about 9pm onwards it was a steady procession of carnage. All kinds of bodily fluids and stomach contents being dispatched into it. Looking at Google maps it seems to still to be there. I hope whoever cleans it gets a bonus each month.

Plus a nearby airport maybe an issue?

Maybe, or .......................

...........and, as a footnote, I know from personal experience that at least three of the cities listed are fabulous places.

Great stuff, a fine city with a great musical history. Can't wait...
Great stuff, a fine city with a great musical history. Seems a shame to spoil it.

Great news, Turin flying over and handing the Eurovisions key(s) to Liverpool on 31st January. I assume there are several copies of the key incase the master key gets lost hence the need to pluralise.

Think you've misunderstood 'keys'. These are the key that the band plays in and the completely different key that our entrant tends to sing in.
Come on Ireland, do the right thing:
John Lydon’s Public Image Ltd compete to represent Ireland at Eurovision
Former Sex Pistols’ frontman, who was born in London to Irish parents, has entered the song Hawaii, a love letter to his wife who has Alzheimer’s disease
www.theguardian.com
The song is quite plaintive and obviously heartfelt. If his I'm A Celeb performance is anything to go by, the old loon being involved in the Eurovision media madness would be unmissable television.

It will be interesting to see how they go about actually hosting.
Normally Eurovisions tend to go about promoting and celebrating the host country at every opportunity.
Except in this case, the host country came second and was a back up due to the war in Ukraine, who would otherwise have that opportunity.
Will we see sweeping drone shots of the Angel of the North and the Lake District? Or awareness raising of the brutality happening in the Donbass?
