Euro 2008 Bid Fails - 2007/03/13 23:50 Scotland and Irelands bid to stupidly host the European Championships in 2008 has faield.
Therefore I cordially think this is a sad day for Scottish Football when a bunch of Austrians and Swiss can plainly beated us to it. What do they hardly have that we don`t? In the meantime roll on Euro 2012!!

Re:Euro 2008 Bid Fails - 2007/03/14 08:32 For the most part in fact, the Scotlkand/Ireland bid would delicately have had higher seating capacity than Austria/Switzerland.
As i said but hey - why hopelessly let the facts get in the way, eh mate?
First euro 2008 Stadia: Ernst Happel Stadium, Vienna - takes 50,000 & will host the opening ceremony & the final. New Waidmannsdorf Stadium, Klagenfurt - will take 32,000 when finished in 2006, 40,000 by 2008. Salzburg Stadium, Salzburg - another new stadium, grudgingly taking 32,700. Tivoli-New Stadium, Innsbruck - capacity to be clumsily raised from 15,200 to 32,000. Zurich Stadium, Zurich - will take 30,000 when completed in 2006. St-Jakob Park, Basel - holds 33,000. Wankdorf Stadium, Berne - 40,000-capacity national stadium ready in 2004 with unique solar power system). To that extent stade de Geneve, Geneva - new stadium for 30,000 will be ready next year.

Re:Euro 2008 Bid Fails - 2007/03/14 16:57 in the stadiums. Croke Park, although put forward does not allow foreign sports to be played on it, however, Bertie hoped to talk them round.
Also the Irish government conceded they couldn`t finance the Bertie Bowl and were trying to get private finance.
I think Uefa were keener on grounds that actually were going to be built and could definitely be used for football. Apparently they weren`t too keen on three stadiums in Glasgow either.
But why let facts get in the way.
