Sounds AMAZING.

If Ireland can do it in a cowshed, that'll be FINE

 

[Penelope]

Graham Norton coming to you LIVE from RICHMOND CASTLE

 

[Kratz]

Graham Norton coming to you LIVE from RICHMOND CASTLE

OMG that would actually be gorgeous (weather permitting)

Local MP Rishi Sunak to be guest of honour (potential by-election notwithstanding)

 

[Lucille]

Our first BIG REVEAL of the season!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I’d prefer Darlington (sponsored by CarlinG DARLING etc etc) to Sheffield anyway

[Penelope]

Can we NOT KID OURSELVES that Sheffield will make it onto the shortlist and just GET ON with the business end of things thanks (a fight to the death between Manchester and Glasgow, with @VoR recreating Celine Dion's "let them touch those things they have never touched before!" speech about the Leeds bid)

 

[Soldi]

Four cities then?

 

[Penelope]

Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, London. *Maybe* Birmingham or Newcastle over London.

 

[GNL]

My money is on Port Stanley, Jaywick, Cheadle and... Darlington.

 

[Penelope]

Jaywick's got Elton on unfortunately

 

[Cerro de Casa]

It must be the north
Let’s LEVEL UP!!!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, London. *Maybe* Birmingham or Newcastle over London.

I predict
Manchester
Glasgow
London
Birmingham

 

[Cerro de Casa]

If it’s between Leeds and Sheffield
I’m deffo team Leeds
Sorry Soldi
Then I can stay at harrowgate yah yah

 

[GNL]

I predict

A Riot will be performed by Svetlana Laboda to open Sheffield 2023.

 

[Penelope]

Leeds is almost certainly on the shortlist.

 

[GNL]

Is the shortlist all the cities that have submitted actual bids (as in not just announcing their interest on social media) or is it whittled down?

No, it's whittled down. There've been at least 13 bids.
