A 'Permanent' European Cup final venue?

So after Liverpool again made @#%&!s of themselves in Athens, several football news sites reckon UEFA could be looking at giving the final a 'regular' base: i.e., playing it in the same place every year. Favourite is Stade de France, with Wembley and Berlin also being touted as 'homes'.

Where would you pick if they were to select a regular venue? In terms of keeping mongs away, i'd probably say Tokyo or East Coast USA.

Coventry

Camp Nou.

The big problem with that (and Coventry) is that there is a real chance Barca will reach the final. Both Wembley and Paris are not home grounds to a club side, and Hertha are £#%&!ing shit, so Berlin is unlikely to have a home competitor in a final anytime soon.

Could they not have a permanent venue but put it on wheels so it can be moved around?

Perhaps a list a definite alternatives then in that instance.

needed:

largest capacity possible
location (central europe ish)
decent city
transport infrastructure
safety
atmosphere

saying all that i don't think it will happen, just that they will spend more time thinking about where to hold it rather than just plonking it all over europe.

for a final the minimum capacity should be 80,000 dont know how many stadiums around europe there is that has this capacity but i would imagine around 5 or 6? and then alternate between these venues

Or make the final 2 legged.

Would that work? Can't make up my mind.

Croke Park would be nice

if it wasn't in Ireland?

Will never happen,there will be too much protest against it and a lot of countries will lose revenue they may have recieved from hosting the final.

Or just move it to Scotland,no chance there will be a clash interest.

look, its the year 2007 its about time we had a game on the moon

Or you could leave it as it is, and just ban the Scousers permanently.

Problem solved.

but it's only three hours drive

£#%&!ing shit idea. But I agree that to hold a final, the ground must hold at least 80,000. That would probably restrict it to 8 or so venues around Europe, which would be fine I think.

Kick those murdering bastards out of Europe for good too.

Anfield.

All other English teams should be banned for ten years, as them beating Liverpool in the league is what upsets Liverpool fans when they go away and that's why they get arrested, not that they actually do anything wrong.
Liverpool should qualify automatically straight to the final every year as hosts.

The biggest stadium is Rungnado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang.

It would probably work well if Derrick May was the announcer and Juan Atkins could do the half time cash dash draw.

I read that as Derek Merry!

Paris would make the most sense. Most of the teams that make the final are English, Spanish or Italian. Paris is probably the most central to them countries. It's a modern ground with excellent transport links and it's a nice distance from the city centre. Plus I £#%&!ing love Paris!
