Really hope the bid wins, would be nice to welcome other national teams to Cardiff, plus we can save some money on travelling!

As much as I hate the fact that this will be viewed by much of the world as an English tournament, and I worry that Wembley will get both semis and the final, the prospect of having a major tournament hosted in my home city is pretty exciting (I can see the Millennium from my window).

I’d like to hold events here, just a shame it’ll inevitably be marketed under the union jack, for the UK countries. Hopefully we’ve said that we want Y Ddraig Goch to be centre stage rather than the sight for sore eyes. Wish it was a Celtic tournament tbh- we all know it’ll be anglocentric (like everything else in the UK). Lucky if we get two group games! Need to stand-up to them for once.
Need to also tie down the automatic qualification element - 5 teams will probably be a stretch mind.

Hope this fails badly. I want a tournament in one country plus this won’t help Yes Cymru. UKIP will love this bid. I know there’s the obvious replies of “ What about Scottish independence?” Or “Ireland will unite! So what’s the problem?” But it’s a massive fucking no from me.
Also what’s the odds the millennium stadium ends up hosting more games at the rugby world in cup in 2007 and 2015 rather than at this tournament?

It'll be interesting to see which stadiums will hold which matches in the knockout rounds. You'd like to think Cardiff would have one of the semis, but as mentioned above I wouldn't be surprised if they both went to Wembley, plus the final itself of course.

Semis and final at Wembley apparently
Surely Cardiff & London made the most sense so the pitch isn't wrecked?

Sad to see the oldest international football stadium in the world doesn’t get a look in #jealousWembley

Undermines the whole thing if England getting those matches does come to fruition. Why on earth are the other associations so passive? |

Not seeing anyone else say that on social media yet. Are we just going to give England constant advantages until they win? |

Okay, I am annoyed if this is the case and frankly its pathetic if we've agreed to it. |

How will automatic spots work? Qualifiers as usual but 1 or 2 set aside if teams don't make it?

Can't get excited by this if England are given advantages again. A joke if they hold the semi's and final in Wembley.
It's a shame we couldn't do it without England and called it the Celtic Nations Euro's or something, however we don't have the resources.

I think a lot of people can't get past their dislike of England- fact is the celtic nations wouldn't even be able to meet the stadium criteria so talk of not inviting england is a complete non-starter.
Countries must submit a bid with 10 stadiums, one of which must have 60,000 seats, one of which (preferably two) must have 50,000 seats, four of which must have 40,000 seats and three of which must have 30,000 seats.

Yeah so it's safe to assume England will qualify automatically Then I'd say chances are between us, Ireland & Scotland 2 of us qualify If that's the case the remaining 2 spots would go to whoever misses out plus N.I So we need to actually cheers on the other nations in the bid, because if 3 of us qualify every will go to the tournament. I'd say it's unlikely any of us miss out, but if anyone does it will probably be N.I |

The only other bid is from Turkey ( who also want the World cup in 2034). So your prepared for us never to be seen on a world stage so that 21% (tops) of the population can claim they want independence. ( then you wonder why support for independence is dropping like a stone ). #narrowmindednessatbest |

Seems on Twitter lots of people are against holding it in Cardiff.
I always wonder if these fans were against attending in the Toshack years too? JCLs.

Having the 3 biggest games of the tournament in England will be a barrier to this though, if the rumours are true. |

But just like the Olympic football being in Wales I’m sure it’ll be “such a showcase event for Wales “ I can’t wait for Laura Macalister to speak on this |

Nah. She realises it’s just England being sneaky as they would like to secure two finals in three tournaments and this offers virtually no long term economic benefit to Wales. A quick cash injection vs our own independence. No brainer. Shouldn’t do anything to hurt us further. Yma o Hyd shouldn’t be just a tune before football. Listen to the words |
