madmax Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 No chance. They will only build a stadium if they get selected plus getting there is a nightmare. We have two major motorways bypassing our city and also easy access to the motorway network. They are situated miles from the nearest motorway and also during the world cup access to Plymouth would be a nightmare, it's bad enough now during the summer getting to Devon and Cornwall.

That'd be like a Blackburn bid winning over Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well I would not dismiss it out of hand,yes its well of the beaten track but that part of England is staved of top flight Football. I think if Plymouth had a big enough Stadium they could be considered as a contender for matches. The thing that makes me laugh is we haven't even got it here yet and the amount of corruption in F I F A its not a fore gone conclusion that we will get it.

Barrs Court Red Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It has some things going for it, it's view on close family units are legendary and a ship left there to the states along time ago. Problem is many people see Bristol as a bumpkin backwater, just like we see Plymouth which is why I can't help but feel we'll lose out to MK, which would be a terrible decision.

Bristol is a city which is far closer to the other major cities in England, which makes it more accesible. Add to the fact Bristol is a major city and Plymouth is not, this really shows there can only be one winner in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely travel does not come into it if they give the games to city or Plymouth its more for the local people not necessaries for fans travelling big distances,and Plymouth has all of Cornwall on its door step. If Plymouth had a prem team they would get the support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 My opinion is no! Check this link out and watch the video, a very tinpot looking bid if ever I saw one! http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/argyle/Und...il/article.html EDIT: Didn't see the other thread, Mods please delete.

You're right about Plymouth having all of Cornwall on it's doorstep helping, but many people in England see Bristol as a far more attractive city to come to.

I think City will have a Premier League team long before Plymouth has. We are a better club, have better facilities and better support than Plymouth.

I terms of business Bristol is a mjor player, but as far as anything else goes, especially its perception outside the area it is anything but. But surely travel does not come into it if they give the games to city or Plymouth its more for the local people not necessaries for fans travelling big distances,and Plymouth has all of Cornwall on its door step. If Plymouth had a prem team they would get the support. The fact that it has no motorway and a poxy airport are massive marks against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The World Cup is just for local people?!?! I think you will find tens of thousends of people will fly around the world to go to World Cup matches. It's an internatioal event. If England win the bid and Bristol is chosen as a venue and say for example Holland plays a game at Ashton Vale you can easily expect around 10-15,000 Dutch fans descending on our city Good transport links are very important and thats what Bristol has over Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every advantage there is to have possible is with Bristol over Plymouth. It would be ridiculous to think that Plymouth could even rival city in this respect, because they do not yet have planning permission for a new stadium.

The Man In Black Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It might sound silly, but I'd rather somewhere like Plymouth got it rather than the usual suspects of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham etc. Yes yes, I know they'll spread it around the country and utilise existing venues, but is anyone else a bit sick of the usual cities in this country staging any big event? And just to state, I would 100% love it if Bristol saw World Cup football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It'd be nice if both Bristol and Plymouth became host cities but I can't see it. The transport infrastructure isn't great. The train journey even from here is longer than if you drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I've just returned from Cornwall. It took two and a half hours to get to Plymouth from St Ives and three hours to get back to Bristol from Plymouth. I know there are always hold ups but they just don't have the infrastructure in place other than one road east or west and a long train journey. Bristol wins hands down when you think of the different modes of transport and directions you can travel and the obvious audience catchment area that it covers.
