Eurovision

[Wizaard]

Currently leading the polls.

BLACKPOOL

That would be fantastic for the town. Fingers crossed

Blackpool leading vote as UK's favourite to host Eurovision 2023

The event will return to the UK next year - and many bids have been submitted for the honour of playing host

Would be brilliant for the town but we've nothing big enough to host it.

What about the new conference centre at the Winter Gardens?

Only holds 2k, according to the criteria it has to be 10k plus with a nearby international airport.

 

[Scaramanga]

Hold it at Stanley park in the summer and open the airport. Just a thought.

Manchester arena it's going not many indoor venues are able to host the event so put your money on there.

 

[Pool CW]

Hope it is in Blackpool

 

[tommytwojags]

We haven't got a venue big enough for Eurovision. Would love to see it here though, so long as Blackpool ratepayers are not funding it.

 

[JJpool]

Would be great to use the tower ballroom or empress ballroom for eg.

Blackpool hosting Eurovision - you know it makes sense

The Fylde Coast seaside resort has everything in place to host the singing competition, Denise Evans argues why

Also there is a venue that can hold more than 10k....

BFC.... its in May after the season then could be done.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

I saw that Glasgow were odds on to be the host last week, I don't know why and I don't know if they are still jollies.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Didn’t even mention Blackpool on this mornings BBC news who covered a story about the Eurovision.
Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Aberdeen the only ones mentioned.
Clearly the lack of a 10,000 seat indoor arena and an international airport didn’t get Blackpool through to the final stages.
Announcement tomorrow on who’s won.

 

[Limechase]

It'll be Manchester

Sadly they dont have an international airport.... (they do however have a place to rip you off while not doing what they are paid for, while you stand in a queue to get in a queue, then have very rude staff, tell you loudly & arrogantly to take liquids out of your bag, even when you dont have any!!)

And hope it doesn’t rain

Cannot we just add a sliding roof to Bloomfield Road?

It crossed my mind that the Headland in front of the Tower would give some iconic shots.

We get some decent weather as well, you know

Must be over 30 degrees and a cloudless day today.

Can you book that in advance for Eurovision?

Can you book that in advance for Eurovision?

Yes. As you know, global warming is a conspiracy created by Big Business and the New World Order, so with enough notice, you can book it in.

Good to see no London, despite Sadiq Khan saying it has to be London.

 

[Davepick]

Last years Eurovision was a farce.
UK should have won that, it was given to Ukraine because of their current problems.

I think Leeds or Sheffield could do with the exposure more , so either of them for me

Though in reality I’m not remotely bothered.
