May 30, 201015 yr Author Any reason why Germany wouldn't be able to stick with those preliminary dates? The BBC website seems to think it's 364 days until the next final :P That can't be right if ESC is about a week earlier next year It won't be the Bank Holiday weekend again as that's when the Champions' League final is, so if they do change the date, they can only really bring it forward a week! :lol: Edit: Oh, and the 2012 final is set for 19th May, so I think we can assume that the Eurovision 2012 will be on 26th May. :heehee:
May 30, 201015 yr I think they should seriously consider Hanover before anywhere else. It must be one of the biggest cities, and I think Lena is from there, and I've always thought it nice if a country hosts in the place the winner is from Isn't it a pain in the arse to get to though? Does it even have it's own airport?
May 30, 201015 yr I think they should seriously consider Hanover before anywhere else.

May 30, 201015 yr Isn't it a pain in the arse to get to though? Does it even have it's own airport? Hannover's airport is rather large, iirc. :o Munich should be the host city. :heart:
May 30, 201015 yr So should this year's contest have been held in Belarus then? :kink: Well, I think it should be only hosted in the place the artist is from, if it's possible (and it wasn't really possible for Norway to host in Belarus). Hanover is a well known city in Germany, so if it has a suitable venue, transportation & accommodation, then they should certainly consider it. But if the winner is from some small town that no one has ever heard of, then it obviously can't be hosted there. I'd like it not to be in Berlin, as it kinda gets boring, being in the capital every year. Was it 2004, the last time the host city wasn't the capital of the country?
May 30, 201015 yr How can it get boring having the contest held in a capital? :lol: It's not like all capitals are the same! :P
May 30, 201015 yr How can it get boring having the contest held in a capital? :lol: It's not like all capitals are the same! :P Maybe boring was the wrong word to use then. Saying "It's too predictable" would fit better :unsure:
May 30, 201015 yr Germany will have been longing for this, I bet it's in Berlin personally. At least the UK won last in 1997, Germany have waited almost 30 years and I reckon the contest will make a big mark next year, I'm certain that RTL will do a great job with it.
May 30, 201015 yr Wikipedia has the host broadcaster listed as ARD/NDR. I was hoping for ARD, as I find it the easiest to say :P
May 30, 201015 yr Because of the federal structure of Germany, there are different broadcasters for different states, so ARD is basically all of them in one - if that makes sense. :heehee: NDR only broadcast in a few states, iirc.
May 30, 201015 yr What's RTL? I thought the main broadcaster in Germany was ARD? :o Oh is it :o didn't realise! I guess RTL's their ITV equivlaent and ARD is their BBC. Well whatever it is, I'm certain that Germany will put on a good show :lol:
May 30, 201015 yr Here are some place's I think could be in contention to host Eurovision: Dusseldorf Munich Frankfurt Berlin Hannover Hamburg Gladbach Bremen Munster/Osnabruck Paderborn
May 30, 201015 yr Here are some place's I think could be in contention to host Eurovision: Dusseldorf Munich Frankfurt Berlin Hannover Hamburg Gladbach Bremen Munster/Osnabruck Paderborn Last two could be abit ambitious.
May 30, 201015 yr Here are some place's I think could be in contention to host Eurovision: Dusseldorf Munich Frankfurt Berlin Hannover Hamburg Gladbach Bremen Munster/Osnabruck Paderborn I'd say your first six + Stuttgart could all be in contention. I don't think I've heard of the last four in your list :unsure:
May 30, 201015 yr Is there an airport in Glahbach :unsure: Oh my bad, I thought there was one. I'd say your first six + Stuttgart could all be in contention. I don't think I've heard of the last four in your list :unsure: Yeah, I forgot about Stuttgart. Like I said, a few of them are rather ambitious.
May 30, 201015 yr Bremen is amazing. I went there on my way home from Oslo and it's such a lovely city. It has an airport, a tram system, but nowhere big enough to host. :P
