Plymouth & Milton Keynes named among 2018 World Cup host cities
England's 2018 World Cup bid team have revealed the names of the 12 cities that will be part of their campaign:
Birmingham (Villa Park), Bristol (New Ashton Vale), Leeds (Elland Road), Liverpool (Anfield or New Anfield), London (Wembley, Emirates Stadium, New White Hart Lane/Olympic Stadium*), Manchester (Eastlands, Old Trafford), Milton Keynes (Stadium MK), Newcastle (St James' Park), Nottingham (New stadium), Plymouth (New Home Park), Sheffield (Hillsborough), Sunderland (Stadium of Light)
*Fifa rules state one city can have a maximum of three stadia in London either a new White Hart Lane or the 2010 Olympic Stadium will get the nod
As someone who grew up in Plymouth, I'm delighted that it has made the final list.
