It has brilliant fans and has hosted euro games aswell as england under 21 games. I think Elland Road (Leeds United) would be a great world cup stadium.

I believe this because: Portman Road, A famous old-style stadium, modern facilities, and not an obvious choice as a venue. Current Capacity is just over 30,000, but this could be increased quite easily, to fulfil FIFA requirements of stadia. Also, 2 stadiums are not allowed to be used in one city, ruling many larger stadiums out of the equation. While Ipswich is not the largest town in the world, it has a real hunger for football, and would be a great venue, if selected for World Cup, and would fit right into FA's plan to spread the stadiums all over the country - then East Anglia's largest and most prestigious sports venue must be considered!
