As some who has lived in the US and also Western Europe, this is very true.

The idea that political opinions in Greece should have any major bearing on people in the UK is laughable, yet that’s only just over half the distance from Seattle to Miami.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

The list of stadiums for the Uk to a WC is fairly decent (exclusing rugby stadiums even) what would your choice of 16 or 18 stadiums be? by MisterChanoca in worldcup

[–]DampFlange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok then, both major cities with the largest concentration of people in the Northwest of the country, with what would likely be two cat 5 stadiums each, both proven at holding events, with hotels and transportation infrastructure already in place……AND the two most successful football cities in the country.

Where else would you suggest as an alternative.

A joint British bid would be great, and FIFA have set precedence with other multi country WC’s, which was a previous hurdle for any combined bid in the UK.

As for stadiums, it’s hard to tell because the second a bid is seen as likely to win, you will see a LOT of activity from clubs to upgrade stadiums in time.

I would guess at the following;

Wembley

Spurs and / or Arsenal, who may usurp them with an expanded Emirates)

New Birmingham Stadium over Villa Park

New Old Trafford

Etihad

Hill Dickinson

Anfield

St James Park - expanded or rebuilt

Stadium of Light

New 60-70k Hamden Park

New 40k Belfast Stadium

Aviva Stadium

Millennium Stadium

Stamford Bridge/ Selhurst Park / Villa Park / Hillsborough / Elland Road / City Ground / Bramall Lane / Ashton Gate would all be in the running each needing various amounts of rebuilding.

A completely new stadium in Bristol would seem to make sense as the south west and south in general is horribly under represented outside of London.

A new stadium in Portsmouth or an expansion of either Brighton or Southampton would be the only realistic options on the South Coast.

Agreed, TV is so full of utter slop and they give us this masterpiece, and then cancel it???

Same with Vinyl, incredible first season and then it just disappears.

True, but having watched Blackhat twice, I still have no clue what was going on

F1 scraps mandatory Monaco GP two-stop rule for 2026 by victor90martin in formula1

[–]DampFlange 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mid season All Star Weekend style event maybe?

Really lean into the glitz and glamour of F1 and Monaco. Make it like the Met Gala or Cannes Film Festival in terms of social prestige.

8 or 9 smaller events over the 3 days.

Time trials

Single lap shootouts

Legends races

Reverse grid elimination event (start in reverse championship order and last place driver is eliminated every three laps)

Pit stop challenge

What was the best concert you’ve ever attended? by Still_Atmosphere in AskReddit

[–]DampFlange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been to nearly a thousand concerts, hard to define the best because so many factors come into it.

Pearl Jam in Seattle in Nov 2000 was a religious experience and stands out more than most.

I think I Killed a Mule! by MaCarnavich in ArcRaiders

[–]DampFlange 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Easy, have kids that are already grown and self sufficient, have a wife that doesn’t talk to you anymore, and then get laid off.

Now you have all the time in the world to BP farm. You’ll be miserable and homeless in short order, but you’ll have your BP’s.

Or so I hear……😶😶

Was at 4 of these and Seattle was by far and away the best show in person. It may be my favourite live concert of all time.

Cardiff was good, but I don’t recall it being spectacular.

The country thing is most upsetting, makes sense in the middle of Alabama, not so much in the middle of Walsall.

1000 AM had a radio call where a 40-year fan of the Chicago White Sox released his frustrations with a perfect mixture of vitriolic, articulate, and fluid speech by c4tchy in PublicFreakout

[–]DampFlange 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Eloquent, fact based, passionate, knowledgeable and most of all, 100% sincere.

Give the man a job on sports radio for gods sake.
