I don't get someone else to pay for my lottery tickets in the hope that I then win millions.

How? You are saying that the sponsor does not reflect on the bid and should be the organisation that offers the most money.

To take armybikes point to its conclusion if an organisation such as the EDL wanted to be our shirt sponsor and offered more than others we should just automatically accept? If its all about the highest bidder and doesn't reflect on the organisation or event being sponsored then why not?

If there's no return why bother with a bid at all?

Not all the bids are sponsored so it seems it is entirely possible to progress a bid without one. The only two that are sponsored have a fairly obvious link: Paisley - Glasgow Airport Sunderland - Sunderland City Council, University of Sunderland, Music Arts and Culture Trust Sunderland

You can't take a bloody bottle cap into the Ricoh but you can get things like that into a stadium supposedly on high security alert. Seems to me there was a bigger and better organised police operation when we played Millwall than there is for this tournament...

Not just the fans, players wifes, girlfriends and kids have been caught up in it as well. Have seen people from previous host countries saying the same. Asking how come they had tens of thousands of England fans without incident but this has all kicked off. Will be like a war between the...

Judging by his Twitter still at the ground waiting to collect bags which seems another shambles. His last tweet said the police have completely lost control of the city.

All I've heard is that it was outside the ground. Security seems to be a joke. Some saying on Twitter there was no police in the stadium and the response times have been poor. Mirror reporter got on the England team bus earlier completely unchallenged. Seeing reports that NI fans are being...

A lot better than I expected us to be. Rooney seems well up for it.

Doubt it. There's no standard system is there, each club uses whatever they want. There's things like Opta but that wouldn't be much use in a professional capacity.

Unless you like ice hockey or Nascar you probably haven't. Think you can get a one month subscription for a tenner though.

We're sponsored by them, Stat Sports.

And its on Premier Sports so unless you have that you won't have seen it advertised.

If the officials didn't see Skrtel's elbow can he get a ban after the fact as they do in the PL?

Bit tricky, I wasn't born until 74!

Google is very useful sometimes :D

There has to be some sort of limit, don't know what it is through. Sharing isn't allowed. You have to have exclusive use of the facilities. Their is a desire at the moment to reduce the number of academies so I doubt we'd get much assistance from the authorities to do something temporary.

From looking at tweets from England fans who are there it sounds like an organised pre-planned attack from the Russians. Many of them dressed in all black with balaclavas and are armed. Add in that there are local Marseille gangs attacking England as well and you've got the police not doing a...

Hopefully just a rumour and nothing has been confirmed yet but reports of an England fan being killed are starting to go round twitter. Lets hope that's a false report.
