Posted June 17, 20223 yr Time to start this topic as.... uh... Ukraine won't host and the EBU is officially approaching the BBC. @1537736907135889411
June 17, 20223 yr Author Also the BBC have responded in that they will at least be looking at discussions: @1537740665270030336 So basically a long way to go yet before definite hosting plans - it may not even be in the UK but that is the most likely destination. A sad situation for Ukraine but I think we all knew this was coming.
June 17, 20223 yr Wow, maybe after all these years I really will go to the contest again as I won’t need to take any time off to travel (apart from in the car) *.* Apparently Glasgow Hydro is the most heavily rumoured venue. Obviously very sad for Ukraine though considering the circumstances. I hope their culture and heritage is fully reflected in the production and it’s not just Union Jacks everywhere.
June 17, 20223 yr So, Glasgow 2023 then? Sad but this cannot be a shock to anyone. I hope that if the BBC accept that they will do some kind of joint operation with UA:PBC And have someone from Ukraine as a host and maybe split the postcards or something

There won’t be Union Jacks everywhere. There would be an actual riot in Glasgow 😂 Should be a shit load of Saltires tho
June 17, 20223 yr True! Glasgow should be the obvious choice, as flagged up in the Eurovision movie, even if they said it was Edinburgh :lol: I’d also like Cardiff to get to host it one day, it’s never been to Wales!
June 17, 20223 yr Author Plenty of places that have the facilities, Manchester and Liverpool already seem very interested and there's definitely going to be interest in London, I wouldn't rule anywhere out yet. I decided to stay over here one more year and now that decision feels a bit bittersweet but tbf I'd probably prefer to go to a Eurovision abroad so w/e. As long as we don't send something naff just because the BBC doesn't want to host twice in a row.
June 17, 20223 yr Author According to leaks yesterday, it's in Glasgow!!! :cheer: And yet, representatives from Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, London (and possibly others) are already falling over themselves to presumably put bids in. Not a done deal by any means.
June 26, 20223 yr Happy to be losers and yet benefit from corruption? Oh, and it's 'inevitable', I assume you meant, although I'm sure you're also proud of your (illiterate) 'culture' and whatnot... Russia might have paid Eurovision to not let Ukraine host it and instead give it to the UK, Russia's satellite in all but name. Fraud seems to have been committed to place UK in the 2nd place too (Spain would have been 2nd if they had not interfered in the voting, but I guess Spanish politicians aren't more corrupted than the UK's cons), for the sake of appearance in going to the next one.

June 26, 20223 yr Author although I'm sure you're also proud of your (illiterate) 'culture' and whatnot... Big words coming from someone whose IP address resolves to Paris, France.

What an entertaining post this is. Thank you, whoever you are. I needed a laugh.
June 26, 20223 yr Blojo the Clown is shouting about UkRaINe DeSErVe To HoST, saying he'll magically make it possible. It's his attempt at a 2-bit cheap Churchill impression. Vile beast! It will undoubtedly be hosted in the UK, unless Blojo pressures the BBTory, in which case it will go to Spain. Spain, with a much worse song, would have won if not for Putin's imperial war. Lotd on youtube say it's only because their entry was "a woman shaking her ass"!!! :lol: They might have a point, as the song wasn't good.
July 25, 20222 yr @1551522740229783552 It’s official! I don’t know how the BBC will be affording it, maybe we’ll stay in the bottom 5 from now on :kink:
July 25, 20222 yr There should at least be a Ukrainian host, interval act or something along those lines.
July 25, 20222 yr The only correct option is Glasgow and I will not be taking any questions at this time.
