Aronious Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 With 2026 still in the mix and moving slowly, I propose cancelling the 2028 competition until after Germany 2006. This will give us the opportunity to attract interest through a World Cup competition held over the lucrative 2006 WC period, then build on this with a 2028 Summer competition afterwards.

Rafa Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 i don't think the a world cup competition will get the kinda interest you guys expect it might have...prob just be the same old people bidding..for it to attract interest would mean drawing people to these forums by somehow letting all soccer maniacs know about it then have a competition...either way...it wont do any harm to wait till after...do u really expect some splurge of buzz on these forums during the world cup? or will everybody just be in the mood seeing that the world cup is taking place...

Sir Rols Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 There WAS a fair bit of interest in a WC competition towards the end of last year, start of this year, and there were a number of announced bids from the likes of Russia, Spain, Argentina, the USA etc at the time. There's a lot of football interest here on the boards, and we're still the group that is the most interested in the process and mechanics of sports bidding (I doubt there's an active "FIFA Bids" forum). If we can get a bit of promotion here happening now in the lead-up to WC 2006, I reckon it could work. Maybe a WC comp could even run concurrently with a 2028 Olympic comp? These comps always overlap anyway _ people are always looking ahead to the next contest before the previous one has been decided yet. BTW Aaron _ I reckon Allianz Arena looks too much like Ayer's Rock in the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk92boy Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Question Are we still allowed to submit bids during this period? I'm always a pace slower at everything here if we are still allowed to submit, with no doubt, and OF COURSE everyone would figure, I will submit L.A. in to the 2028 competition. :grinning: -Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess you'd be welcome to submit LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatixxx Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Guys, I'm in with a totally new idea for Istanbul 2028. Hopefully i'm not to late with it, as this game will continue after the fantasy World Cup bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
