And yes, they are still in the championship and no, the stadium hasnt been upgraded at all :| Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 They've held England internationals there in the past. What's the capacity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 St Mary's is already listed as a Uefa 4 star stadium so they would be allowed to host the Uefa Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Seems weird to me, but if the stadium has the right attendance then there is nothing wrong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamweesel Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It is a UEFA Four star stadium,so it is eligible of hosting the Uefa Cup final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 They hosted it in my game as well which seemed a bit strange but I think it does meet the requirements so not really a bug I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_Persie Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah i guess its not a bug, just i really cannot see the stadium ever getting picked over the likes of The Emirates, Anfield, OT etc.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Aufc 93 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 IRL you have to apply along with other stadiums so mabey the competion was *****, but very strange. Anyone had wierd champiions league of world cup hosts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 In FM08 I and a number of others had the champ league final take place at oriel park. FM09 seems to have corrected this for me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah but that stadium has also held the Commonwealth Games, i can just not imagine the UEFA Cup final being held at Southampton! They are entiltled to host it though, so even though you can't imagine it, it could happen. Also don't Uefa rotate the stadiums used. So maybe it was their turn.

BenArsenal Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It is unlikely but definitely possible. St Mary's meet the requirements of hosting a UEFA Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've seen new anfield hosting England U21 matches, problem is that stadium shouldn't even exist as no one has built it, or if they did decided not to move into it lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglealan64 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I got a new stadium built and 3 years after we moved in the Champions League final was played at the old one!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalimyr Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 st marys isn't 44,000 thoughcorrect me if i'm wrong but isn't it like 34,000? What's your point? Seating capacity requirement for 4-star stadia is 30,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1GhTz Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i reckon its fine to hold the final there since its hosted international matches etc then i dont really see the problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
