Jeffrey Shaw 89 #1 Posted July 26, 2022 A lot of media coverage of this evening's WEURO semi-final at Bramall Lane, esp. as England are (is?) involved. Coverage on BBC1 at 1925hrs https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0019nd5 and also at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/62302520 BBC reports that all hotel beds are sold out. Remember that road closures are operative. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dutch 68 #4 Posted July 26, 2022 Channel 4 news had a little moment in Sheffield tonight. Game is over now and final in Wembley stadium. Sheffield is competing for next Eurosong competition but since we don't have an airport don't think we'll get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I agree there is no chance in hell of it being here, given the transport links. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
