Houchen Wants to host Eurovision 2023

I did read the other day that every one of the proposed venues has to do a lot of moving around. Apparently the song contest requires a six week period where nothing else happens in the chosen arena, and of course there'll be lots of tours already booked in those arenas for next year.

So the Reynolds Arena might not be out of it yet....

Given the money it will bring into the host city all week they will move things! It will be between Glasgow and Liverpool. Both riverside arenas (yes Newcastle is too but there’s an ugly wall and scrub separating the river from the Utilita.). My thoughts are it will still be in Glasgow.
 
This is shocking bias to the big cities

So what if darlo has no where to host it, no arena to stage the thing in or no hotels to house the contestants media and spectators.

Come on apart from those minor things why on earth has darlo been over looked it’s truly shocking.

I hope this doesn’t effect billinghams plans to host the Winter Olympics .

Oh look another person "talking Teesside down" (isn't that what he says when anyone dares suggest Houchen is a pie faced publicity courting idiot, with no connection to reality).
 
I had originally put commonwealth games but I thought fk it aim big.

Billingham 2026 ❄️

( although to be fair at least Billingham does have an actual ice rink)
 
Bad news for Darlo but I’m still confident of Redcar’s bid for the International Womens Beach Volleyball Championships.
 
Is that an insurmountable problem?
Putting a retractable roof on the Reynolds? Not sure where this line of argument is going given the circumstances but I’ll play. No - if you’re willing to pay for it. I’m not. I’m sure most sane people wouldn’t either so yes it is probably insurmountable

Most people dont want to pay for a loss making airport, but doesn't stop fatso from spunking money on it.
 
Not sure what peoples issue is here. Shock as mayor does something to promote the region, that hasn’t cost anything, and showed a bit of ambition (even if it was never going to happen).

How has it promoted the region, other than perhaps highlighting the lack of suitable facilities to host such an event ?
