Will Sheffield bid for a WC match? : Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:06 pm  

With places like Rochdale and Bristol already announcing their intent to bid for WC matches in 2013, I was wondering if Sheffield would do the same.

I would love to see them host a WC match, does anyone happen to know if they are likely to bid?

They'll probably be reseeding and have to play at Spinkhill!

Weve already stated that Bramall Lane will be applying for a fixture and to possibly host a team

Hope we get a game! England vs Ireland at, hopefully a packed Bramall Lane with Aston coaching the Irish, just think what that could do for the Eagles profile in the city!
