'If It's Football, It's Vital'
England/Hillsborough Awaits WC Verdict
Wednesday could be set for more good news today if England, and Hillsborough as a candidate ground, wins the right to host the 2018 World Cup today.
The 22 members of FIFA's executive committee will today cast their vote as to who they think should host the world's greatest football event in 2018 and 2022.
England are battling it out with bids from Holland-Belgium, Russia and Spain-Portugal for the prestigious event in eight years' time.
And if England get the nod, Hillsborough could be staging such world giants as Brazil, Spain and Italy after Sheffield was selected as a candidate city for the tournament.
Wednesday beat off competition from Steel City rivals Sheffield United and their Bramall Lane stadium to be the host stadium for Sheffield.
FIFA's decision will be made public at 3pm GMT today.
England have taken a large party over to Zurich, Switzerland, where the voting is taking place, with Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince William, and David Beckham amongst the names.
As part of the bid to host World Cup matches, Hillsborough will be upgraded.

Iv just seen the plans for the stadium developments should we get it, id love this to happen. Just hope the combination of the bbc and the brummies last night dont ruin it for us. Best stadium, best fans, best everything....come on fifa, dont be daft and give us our game back.
DEZZYP
Got to say, I don't think we are going to get it....... Blame it on the British press...... can't keep their mouths shut for a while!!
US OWL
I'm wishing England all the best in this one! She deserves to host her game and it will give Wednesday, and Sheffield as a whole, a huge boost. PLEASE FIFA, give our club a further boost and me an excuse to come back to England/Sheffield/Hillsborough that my wife can't refuse! WTID UTO

what a load of old cobblers, if the 2018 result wasn't a fix then the 2022 result was. how on earth can qatar win a world cup? all the stadiums would be in a 50 mile radius, it would be like Birmingham hosting a world cup. Fifa is bent
Hirsty's Shinpads
Iwonder why Putin did not go for the w/c draw dont it seem that he already knew the result I hope they F**k it up and that teams cant get to the grounds due to their crap transport system
Owlet
utter disgrace. putin said he would fly to zurich if they won....glory supporter. everything about our game is the best in the world(except standard of play), apparentley we only got 4 votes, complete corruption and fix. oh well, i like our stadium just the way it is.
DEZZYP
mind you blata as never liked us he`s as bent as the big wheel
Owlet
So what if Russia have nicked the World Cup from under our noses.Wait till they get home and realise we have nicked their weather.
ollyowl70
does anybody if the stadium redevelopment still goes ahead even though we didnt get it?
Wednesdayforlife
all i know is that mandaric has said that they will invest in all aspects of the club. the stadium will need upgrading whatever happens before 2018
Hirsty's Shinpads
doubt the stadium well get done now, it would have been government funded due to the world cup. we already an an empty 20,000 seats, dont think an extra 5,000 will be helpfull at all. we'll probably just give it an extra lick of paint now.
DEZZYP
Spot on Dezzy. To be honest, we have had years of having a great stadium and an under performing team. I am looking forward to seeing the team actually look like getting back to where we should be. Stadium may need upgrading, but there's lots worse than Hillsborough
dobby1
i love our stadium, the only change i would make is to get those seats out of the corner and have 4 proper stands again. i enjoy the fact we have a proper traditional stadium, just be nice to start filling it properly again.
DEZZYP
i agree about having a traditional stadium and i dont want a new 'round no atmosphere all look the same' stadium but i do believe it needs redevelopment.
Wednesdayforlife
arrrrrrrrr what a shame you will have to find another bunch of muppets to pay for you falling down flood plane of stadium improvements. typical wendies expecting yet another back hander. Herd this is the only reason why the coop wrote of the debt as it was agreed they would see a big amount of money generated from the world cup....rumour now has it that the coop are not calling it back and the debt is going to be re managed.....ho ho ho merry xmas. the only reason you got the shout above us was the park opposite to be used as an holding area...and of cause fraudster dave richards. out of the 2 grounds the lane scored more points in all aspects apart from the fans holding areas......take a look on line its all there for public viewing. fact is the lane is the better and most modern ground in the whole of yourshire!!! get in there division 3 porkers!! xxxxxx
bladesforlife1889
t*rdforlife you child fettling pervert, yet more 5h1t coming out of your mouth. dear me get out of your parents basement. solet me get this straight, so the bank agreed to write off a debt because in 8 years time somebody else would make a profit? think about it retard, it just doesnt make any sense. we got the nod over you because you play your football in a w*nk little shed. oh, its heard not herd, pig fecking jizz sample.
DEZZYP
wumf there it is!!
bladesforlife1889
t*rdforlife, thats a little short for you, where's the long, boring, tedious, factless rant?
DEZZYP
sheffield united are 2 points off relegation with massive crippling debts.
sheffield wednesday are 2 points off promotion place and as of 14th december wil have no debts.
you do the maths bladesforlife.
ozzietheowl
Hey piggy blade why have a so called good ground but a s**t team that plays in it, I`ve seen your so called kop Rotherhams got a better one than that and its only for athletics
Owlet
I don't care if we get back handers turdforlife, were gonna be debt free hopefully promoted and your sinking quicker than the titanic! Don't reapply cate wot u say I'm just laughing at your club, you can here me from where u at now, listen, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh and ho ho ho merry Xmas from your richer bigger brothers!
OWL25
t*rdforlife, when you have finished at the primary schools and handed out all your sweets, perhaps you can make your way to 5h1thole lane and help dig up the snow. Game off? thats very very amateur for such an alleged super stadium.
DEZZYP
"How to make freinds and influence people"where you been bladesforlife? either your computer has been down or things hasnt been to rosy on your side of the city of late!
Waddle1993
ha ha ha dezzyp - is that for dezzy pig??? ha ha shows you what you know the pitch was totally playable and in tip top shape it was the surrounding areas that were dangerous....unlike at swillsborough where the pitch is covered in a foot of snow and you carnt even afford to switch on the under soil heating......ooo yeh thats right you havent got under soil heating have you...ha ha world cup football stadium my ********* you pigs!! up the blades!!
bladesforlife1889
dezzy pig? oooh very clever t*rdforlife. errrm yes, we do have undersoil heating, thats why we never have to miss games. awww couldnt your soon to be in administration club afford a few bags of rock salt for around your stadium? if your nice enough super milan might pay to grit around your cow5h1t stadium. always remember t*rdforlife, our stadium has hosted finals,semi-finals, european championships games, world cup games....your shed cant even host reading.
DEZZYP
good old pigforlife not knowing what he is on about, ofcourse we have undersoil heating! haha totally agree dezzyp our stadium is great and has lots of history of staging big events just needs a lick of paint, whereas your stadium pfl will always be a s**thole with your biggest claim is that is has a w**k hotel on the side of it!
Wednesdayforlife
they were several times last year where Your home games didnt go ahead but everyone elses did because you didnt have the money to turn on the undersoil heating....and you had injuries at the time.....mmmmm think of that what you will league 1 pigs.....your better than west sham for bending the rules and cheating when you think. MM will soon do one, same as he always does. i'll give irvine 10 games before he's replaced by blackwell.....a good friend of MM....W**K HOTEL???...the best hotel in the city by far and is making bags of money may i add!!
bladesforlife1889
haha, making so much money? isnt it you who said you are £68 million in debt? sounds like a proper money maker. you truely are such a retard. oh, so now we do have undersoil heating? you changed your tune pretty quickly. awwwwwwwwwww poor t*rdforlife, still banging on about west ham. you went downt because you was 5h1t, no other reason, all you had to do was get a draw at home to fecking WIGAN, who hadnt won in 16 games. oh, what games did we have abandoned? what injuries did we have? id love to know because i dont recall any games abandoned.......feck off back to your own site you pointless hairy testicle.
DEZZYP
o yes you did dezzy-pig!!
bladesforlife1889
go on then t*rd, which matches? what injuries?
DEZZYP
stop going on about west ham, a premiership season consists of 38 games not the last 10, you werent good enough over the whole season so get over it! from what i understand you dont even own the hotel anymore so your not making any money from it. Its funny you think MM will soon do one, because for him to sell (and im sure everyone knows he will sell in the next few years) we will have to be in a better situation than we are in now, like leicester, so we arent bothered about that because it means we will be doing well and on the up, where as you will be right in the **** by then! UTO
Wednesdayforlife
pigboy, you moan on our site about how ***** and poor and badly run you think we are then you do EXACTLY the same on your own site. your own forum users hate you, we all hate and i bet if you are very honest, you hate yourself too.
ozzietheowl
Turdforlife, mm will sell in a few years that's what he does! But he is a good buissness man, and will always make a profit! That's why he didn't come and look at your shxxte!
