In the spirit of European harmony, we should do in Gibraltar and/or the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

 

[Kratz]

I expect if there is any element of central government funding to assist the BBC then it won’t be off to Scotland

Dunno, getting to say that Glasgow is in The United Kingdom a lot might be on their mind.

 

[GNL]

 

[GNL]

I think Glasgow is more likely but we do have the necessary infrastructure (a village for gays).

[Ellie]

How about the whole thing on the Isle of Wight? @Rachey

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Jostling all over the place

 

[Kratz]

Oh so NOW everybody cares. Where were these people and municipalities when we were trying to convince the world that it wasn’t all political and Lucie did deserve better than 15th

Hosting on behalf of Ukraine from a world power's enclave would be so entertaingly inappropriate.

 

[Christian]

Which countries had the highest percentile viewing figures this year?

 

[COB]

Just NOT in Glasgow please

Why not?

[Kratz]

Which countries had the highest percentile viewing figures this year?

Iceland - 95%

 

[Christian]

Two of my GROUP CHATS have GONE OFF at this news

The FAMILY CHAT has too

 

[Christian]

Iceland - 95%

Ridiculously fabulous

 

[dmlaw]

Give it to whichever city can convince the highest profile singer to be the UK representative for next year.

Halifax

 

[Christian]

He'd DEFINITELY do it

 

[Soldi]

Isn’t the First Direct too small though?

 

[Kratz]

Why not?

Because I want either near my house or my mum’s. No shade on Glasgow itself

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[Penelope]

First thoughts: OMG

 

[Kratz]

Isn’t the First Direct too small though?

13,000? And it is nice and new

 

[Christian]

I stayed in a lovely hotel in Leeds a few years back. What a nice town.

Just put the no effort delegations in tents on the moors and have them reflect on why they are there.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Are any arenas owned or funded by a Tory backer - will probably end up there

 

[VoR]

Yeah 13,000 in Leeds First Direct would be on the smaller side but certainly do-able!

I've seen Diana Ross, Celine and Cher there so we're certainly capable of hosting a world class event

That said I'd be surprised. We don't have the best transit system compared to the larger contenders (no Trams for example) and obviously Manchester has a number of clear advantages in terms of infrastructure, hotels, potential Euroclubs etc.

[monsta]

WHAT IS KALA SAYING?

 

[monsta]

Graham, Rylan and Alison Hammond to host

 

[monsta]

NONE for Scott Mills!

 

[COB]

Graham and Jackie Bird to host, Sonja off of Alan Partridge in the green room. All bases covered!

 

[Madison]

Glasgow got COP26 and the last British Empire Games. Let someone else host a major international event.

As any sensible person would do, we should share things across the UK by reference to ITL1/NUTS regions population (applying D’Hondt - obviously). The North West is by far the biggest region next in line.

I’ll leave it to @Penelope to tell us where the subsequent Eurovisions are allocated to.

 

[Christian]

Zelensky, the rapping one from the Kalush Orchestra and Katrina But Not The Waves to host

I am seeing Gladys Knight next week!

"Good evening Europe! I have difficult question for you... is Blackpool Ukraine?"
