So it looks like the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) have said that Ukraine can’t hold next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.. and have asked the BBC if they are interested in the UK hosting…
So… you need a 10000 seat arena to host… London, Manchester and Leeds have already said yes please! The 2 favourites are Glasgow at the hydro… and Cardiff at the millennium stadium
So… 2 questions… 1) where should host? And 2) I am thinking the mother of all socials we could organise!!!!
Can I present the Eurovision Song Contest thread live!!!!  |

Glasgow would be a good option, essentially 3 venues on one campus, Hydro, Armadillo & the exhibition centre.
bonus that BBC Scotland HQ is just across the river so broadcasting facilities are already in place |

I hope the BBC doesn't have to pay for it all, as is normally the case for host countries.
As one journalist put it the last time the the UK won "There goes the BBC's costume drama budget for the year". |

Glasgow could just edge it. The BBC has been moving services around the country and it has only ever been hosted in London and Birmingham.
As someone above said the BBC HQ in Scotland is just across the river. |

"Seriously, we're not in the EU now so can't we get out of this crap once and for all?
Which bit of the EU are Australia and Israel in? And Azerbaijan?! "
They aren't but it's been so long since I've seen it I didn't know it had deteriorated to that low  |

Israel have been in for ages. I think Dana International was 1997 or 1998?! *Heads to Google*  |

Surely this all depends on availability. They can't just cancel other planned concerts to host Eurovision. |

That’s why it won’t be in London, the 02 is already booked, Uk have been the favourites to host due to the current situation in Ukraine and the planning for next year will need to start now. I’m sure I read there was availability to host in Glasgow so I suspect there is also availability Cardiff too. |

Now that would be brilliant. Pay for it with assets taken from Putin. Love it! |

Of course they can! This is a huge event that will generate loads of revenue and publicity. |

It should be hosted in a city that is not normally used
Not London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Coventry, Liverpool or the other well used and known city's. Somewhere different for a change

We are still in Europe though"
And the UK is still a member of the European broadcasting union which runs Eurovision |
