Poland and ukraine 2012

Poland say they will step in and provide six of the eight venues for Euro 2012 if co-hosts Ukraine are not ready to help stage the tournament.

Ukraine have been given until September by Uefa president Michel Platini to prove they are capable of co-hosting Europe's showpiece football event.

Uefa have told Ukraine to speed up work on building stadiums and improve roads and transport infrastructure.

But Poland say they have a plan in place, if Ukraine continue to struggle.

"We are hoping Euro 2012 will be co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine as planned, but the risk factor must be assessed and a contingency reserve prepared," Polish sports minister Miroslaw Drzewiecki told Polish news channel TVN24 on Saturday.

Our reserve is the fact that we are building not four but six stadiums

Polish sports minister - Miroslaw Drzewiecki
"Our reserve is the fact that we are building not four but six stadiums, so we can sleep peacefully no matter what happens."

Poland and Ukraine, who were awarded the competition in April last year, have admitted that preparations had fallen behind because of political instability in both countries.

Work has not started on the new stadium in the Polish capital Warsaw, while contractors have not yet been appointed for the major refurbishment of the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.

Eight venues are due to stage the matches - Warsaw, Poznan, Wroclaw and Gdansk in Poland and Kiev, Donetsk, Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine.

The two reserve stadiums in Poland are in Chorzow and Krakow, both in the south of the country.

Uefa will make its next announcement on the subject at a meeting on 23 September.

Sounds like its gonna be a poor cup.

Half of Poland is in England anyhow, That gives us auto qualification right?

We need it.

apprentley were shock frontrunners to get world cup 2010 if south africa isnt up to scratch

Haha Class.

S afrinca ois a fshithole

It would be greedy and selfish of us if we hosted 2010 World Cup when we're going to host the 2012 olympics. The oylmpics are going to be a financial disaster so hosting the World Cup wouldn't make things much better

it would be good meaning i wouldnt have to travel to south africa and i would be guarenteed ticketas for alll games iff it was home

dont think england would auto qualify tho, prob still give that place to SA. i've been banging on for yrs about this stuff, its mental to hold a world cup in SA, there main stadium is in soweto ffs! and lets not forget the fact you are likely to be dragged from your car, shot and mugged. The one after that is in brazil n all which is dodgy as fuck, stadiums are too old and knackered, there's favela's to deal with and in traffic people get robbed.

It would be awesome if we got it.

i did a list of stadium off top of me head the other night with my mums bf, there's like 20 stadiums that are piss easy to get to, and piss all over the ones that have been played in in other world cups etc.

hillsborough was used in euro 96

got like,

Wembley, Emirates, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Stadium of Light, St James Park, Anfield, Goodison, Villa Park, Elland Rd, Upton Park....list goes on really, theres even a few decent ones outside prem. see most of those abroad are like what 40k max, we've got like 10 over 40k lol
