Host Cities for England's 2018 World Cup Bid Announced

Please to see the mighty Hillsborough on the list (will be there on Saturday!). I must admit that I'm a bit suprised by the choice of Plymouth. I'd rather they have matches at Ipswich or Norwich myself.

1. Sheffield United's court challenge to Wednesday smacks of sour grapes

Sheffield United: The Conspiracy Theorist's football club!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/mar/11/sheffield-united-wednesday-hillsborough-bramall-lane

Sheffield United are heading to the high court to call for a judicial review of Sheffield City Council's decision to grant conditional planning permission for Sheffield Wednesday's redevelopment of Hillsborough. In their submission, United have accused the council of "bias" in fast-tracking approval for a planning application.

United and Wednesday submitted applications to redevelop their grounds to 45,000 capacities within 10 days of each other last August. Both have been approved. But now the Blades are heading to the high court to complain about how Hillsborough will be redeveloped.

Intriguingly, there were only five complaints from local residents during the consultation process.

But since the main objections related to restrictions in car parking and television reception � points that were also raised by two of three local respondents to the Bramall Lane application � it is unsurprising that United will not rely on the residents' concerns in their complaint.
