No chance for National Stadium, Europa League final will be played there in May 2015. And Legia Warsaw stadium (30k capacity) also would be a quite impossible choice due to Polish football league matches.

Do you think Belfast could be a possibility if we won? I think it could be!

Well really there is only the Odyssey arena, I was going to put it in but didn't want to over do it.

I think Manchester Arena out of those above would be the best option. Wembley is massive to allow for a lot of revenue, but would every seat sell? and how would the sounding sound there. would it be a Denmark 2001 2.0?

Wembley would be awesome but I think a stadium would be a big ask for a UK Eurovision hosting. The 02 and Phones 4 U would be the frontrunners I imagine, but I thought Belfast would be a possibility as it would be a good way for Northern Ireland to promote itself on a European stage. If we won this year then 2015 would be the first time we've hosted the contest with peace in Northern Ireland.

Cardiff or Belfast. Scotland and England get plenty of promotion. People tend to forget about Northern Ireland's existence and pretend Wales is actually part of England. BBC said in 2009 Cardiff would host it if they won, but now that might have changed. I think BBC would want to out do Sweden and Denmark on the contest, but not to an Azerbaijan extent :D

Perhaps if we both drew, the Odyssey would be an excellent choice of host. It would be a lovely gesture of BBC/RTÉ!

Two countries working together. Double the budget :lol: and it would certainly be "ground breaking" in eurovision and beat what everyone else has done.

Excellent idea!

Obviously from a selfish point, I would be happy to see Glasgow host, but from a political stand point I know that won't happen this year, so Belfast would be cool. They deserve to host something and I imagine that atmosphere would be awesome.

There's also the Cardiff City Stadium (28,000 capacity), but the football season will still be going on in May, which is a shame
